Haunted Bodies : Visual Cultures of Anorexia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Thin bodies have been the centre of much controversy in recent years. Feminist critiques of popular culture, as well as popular feminist movements, have called attention to the ways in which oppressive ideals of feminine beauty have increasingly become ...

Experimental and numerical study on crashworthiness of bionic hedgehog spine thin-walled structures

open access: yes, 2023
Natural impact-resistant biomaterials, with ingenious and exquisite geometric configurations, have resistance to external impact, and thus provide a perfect bionic example for the optimization design and crashworthiness improvement of new thin-walled ...

Effects of contact friction and ply blocking on the crush behaviour of thin-walled composite structures: a numerical study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
The present paper presents a three-dimensional composite damage model for predicting the crush response of thin-walled structures, i.e., cylindrical tubes, manufactured employing fibre-reinforced polymer–matrix composites.

Mechanics of Viscoelastic Thin-Walled Structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Thin-walled structures made of polymers and reinforced polymer composites are prominent candidates for constructing large lightweight structures. A major challenge in designing polymer-based thin-walled structures is their time and temperature dependent ...

Visual adaptation to thin and fat bodies transfers across identity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Visual perception is highly variable and can be influenced by the surrounding world. Previous research has revealed that body perception can be biased due to adaptation to thin or fat body shapes.

Ferritic stainless steels in structural applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Ferritic stainless steels are low cost, price-stable, corrosion-resistant materials. Although widely used in the automotive and domestic appliance sectors, structural applications are scarce owing to a dearth of performance data and design guidance.

Extension of experimental statistical energy analysis to structural vibration with low modal density

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2019
Statistical energy analysis (SEA) is a method for understanding energy transfer paths related to vibration noise generation. In SEA, a target object is separated virtually into subsystems among which the transfer of vibration energy can be quantified ...

Safe dynamic design of structures. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The Design of structures under dynamic loading is a demanding subject in safety of engineering design since conventional static failure criteria are unable to deal with structures under transient loading.

Telocytes and their structural relationships with surrounding cell types in the skin of silky fowl by immunohistochemistrical, transmission electron microscopical and morphometric analysis

open access: yesPoultry Science, 2021
: Telocytes (TCs), a novel type of interstitial cells, were identified in various animals. Since TCs have not observed in avian skin, hence, we carried out immunohistochemistrical and transmission electron microscopical studies in the skin of the silky ...

Multi-objective design optimization using hybrid search algorithms with interval uncertainty for thin-walled structures

open access: yes, 2023
Thin-walled structures have been widely used in vehicle components due to their lightweight characteristics. To design structural parameters that are more in line with actual requirements, it is often necessary to consider the influence of uncertainty in
