Contextualism in Normative Political Theory and the Problem of Critical Distance [PDF]
Ethical Theory and Moral Practice, 2019 Political theory is contextualist when factual claims about context are part of the justification of normative political judgments. There are different kinds of contextualism depending on whether context is relevant for the formulation and justification of political principles (methodological contextualism), whether principles themselves are ...

The Theory of Critical Distances applied to multiscale toughening mechanisms [PDF]
Engineering Fracture Mechanics, 2019 Abstract The Theory of Critical Distances (TCD) is an approach used for predicting the effect of cracks and notches on fracture and fatigue behaviour. In recent years it has been successfully applied to a wide range of problems across all classes of materials.

Biomimetics Design of Tooth Root Zone at Cylindrical Gears Profile
Biomimetics, 2023 During the last few decades, the requirements for modern machine elements in terms of size reduction, increasing the energy efficiency, and a higher load capacity of standard and non-standard gears have been very prevalent issues.

The theory of critical distances applied to problems in fracture and
fatigue of bone
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2013 The theory of critical distances (TCD) has been applied to predict notch-based fracture and fatigue in a wide range of materials and components. The present paper describes a series of projects in which we applied this approach to human bone.

A review on the application of the theory of critical distance towards concrete [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018 Theory of Critical Distance (TCD) is one of Fracture Mechanics numerical model that has gone through tremendous laboratory works and validation. Hence, it has been proven to be precise in broad perspectives in the field. Recently, TCD research related to fracture, especially fatigue on concrete are growing but the depth of study is still shallow and ...

International Journal of Fatigue, 2020 Abstract The theory of critical distances is based on the definition of a material-dependent length L. Here, we investigate the statistical properties of L deduced from the crack threshold or a suitable notched specimen geometry. Monte Carlo simulations are done for best-fitting analytical functions to express mean, standard deviation and skewness of
