Authors: Peciola Stefano , Himanen Sari‐Leena , Knight Andrew , Dibué‐Adjei Maxine , Rainesalo Sirpa , Peltola Jukka
Published: August 2019

A challenge in treating epilepsy is the accurate documentation of seizure frequency, which is needed in order to assess the benefits of ongoing treatment. We present a 17‐year‐old girl who underwent video‐based monitoring in order to establish an accurate seizure count before and after the implantation of a vagus nerve stimulator to treat refractory epilepsy. The results show a reduction in disabling seizure types after vagus nerve stimulator implantation and highlight the inconsistencies between the reported and actual seizure count in this patient. Our case adds to the recognised issue of inaccurate seizure documentation. [Published with video sequence on www.epilepticdisorders.com]

Published: August 2019

Aims. To determine the electroclinical features of fixation‐off sensitivity (FOS) in patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE).

Methods. We searched the EEG database using the terms “fixation‐off sensitivity” and “idiopathic generalized epilepsy” over a four‐year period from March 2014 to April 2018 in the Xijing Hospital, Xi’an, China. FOS was evaluated according to the technique proposed by Panayiotopoulos. Photic stimulation procedure and neuropsychological testing were performed during video‐EEG monitoring.

Results. FOS was observed in eight patients with several different IGE syndromes, including four with eyelid myoclonia/Jeavons syndrome, two with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, one with photosensitivity epilepsy, and one with epilepsy with generalized tonic‐clonic seizures only. FOS was associated with seizures in five patients manifesting with eyelid myoclonic, myoclonic, and myoclonic‐tonic‐clonic seizures, and eyelid myoclonic status. FOS coexisted with photosensitivity in six patients as independent EEG features. Neuropsychological testing revealed transitory cognitive impairments associated with FOS.

Conclusions. FOS is associated with several different IGE syndromes and may coexist with photosensitivity in the same patient as independent EEG features. FOS may be associated with both clinical seizures and cognitive impairments. Intermittent photic stimulation and registration of different eye conditions with and without fixation will aid the study of the dynamics of the visual system in epilepsy patients.

Normas vinculantes y no vinculantes en gobierno corporativo: un análisis para la asamblea de accionistas
Authors: Betancourt Ramírez Jose Bernardo , Gómez Betancourt Gonzalo Eduardo , Lagos Cortés Diógenes
Published: August 2019

Este estudio analizó la aplicación de algunas normas vinculantes y no vinculantes de gobierno corporativo en la asamblea de accionistas (frecuencia de las reuniones, antelación en la convocatoria, información previa entregada, decisiones sobre estatutos, dividendos y elección del revisor fiscal) en una muestra de 202 empresas colombianas obtenida a través de una encuesta respondida por correo electrónico. Se usó la prueba Z para comparar proporciones en la aplicación de dichas normas entre empresas familiares y no familiares y entre diferentes tipos de sociedades. Se concluye que los esfuerzos realizados por entidades que promueven el gobierno corporativo aún están lejos de tener una gran acogida en las empresas colombianas. Este trabajo plantea la necesidad de concentrar más y mejores esfuerzos para garantizar que las empresas cumplan al menos con las normas vinculantes, dado que dichas normas terminan siendo débiles en alguna de sus dimensiones (precisión de la norma, obligatoriedad en el cumplimiento, delegación para su interpretación e implementación en un tercero). De igual forma, es deseable mejorar los estándares de gobierno corporativo mediante la adopción de prácticas recomendadas en las normas no vinculantes, que en muchos casos son más rigurosas que la norma vinculante.

This journal means to give an ilustration function and role of santri, as part of middle class people in Indonesia. The result of this journal shows that political dynamics of santri as the middle class always changes in every era. In colonialism era, a group of santri unite to take an independence. Meanwhile, a group of santri in post-independence era want to dominate with an idea to make Islam as the rules of nation and the government must take the policy to limit it. Consequently, a group of santri show more in practical politics in government and the other strategic position in reformation era. However, the identity of group of santri more dissolved by the interest group and another as a result from their position as middle class. Therefore, the role and identity of a group of santri as middle class show the shortage whwn the differences interest and interference of outsider precisely cause the dissension in that group of santri.

Neste trabalho, intentamos, em um gesto analítico, refletir acerca do modo como a poesia da rua, citadina, dos muros adentra uma exposição do Museu da Língua Portuguesa e produz sentidos outros sobre a cidade e o modo como a poesia nesse espaço urbano grita algo de si e dos sujeitos. Retomando trabalhos de Pêcheux (2004) e Orlandi (1997), analisaremos como a equivocidade e o inatingível sustentam o funcionamento do poético e fazem fissuras na língua, trilhando-a ao bordejarem o impossível dela.

Atmospheric Motion Vectors (AMVs) calculated by six different institutions (Brazil Center for Weather Prediction and Climate Studies/CPTEC/INPE, European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites/EUMETSAT, Japan Meteorological Agency/JMA, Korea Meteorological Administration/KMA, Unites States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/NOAA and the Satellite Application Facility on Support to Nowcasting/NWCSAF) with JMA’s Himawari-8 satellite data and other common input data are here compared. The comparison is based on two different AMV input datasets, calculated with two different image triplets for 21 July 2016, and the use of a prescribed and a specific configuration. The main results of the study are summarized as follows: (1) the differences in the AMV datasets depend very much on the “AMV height assignment” used and much less on the use of a prescribed or specific configuration; (2) the use of the “Common Quality Indicator (CQI)” has a quantified skill in filtering collocated AMVs for an improved statistical agreement between centers; (3) JMA AMV algorithm has the best overall performance considering all validation metrics, most likely due to its height assignment: “optimal estimation using observed radiance and NWP wind vertical profile”.
Transcanal Endoscopic Tympanoplasty for Pediatric Patients Under 15 Years of Age With Chronic Otitis Media
Authors: Lee Sungsu , Cho Hyong-Ho
Published: August 2019

Objectives. To evaluate the results of transcanal endoscopic tympanoplasty for pediatric patients with chronic otitis media (COM) and compare them to that of the previously standard microscopic assisted tympanoplasty technique.Methods. The patients were divided into two groups based on the operative method. Group 1 underwent tympanoplasty with a totally endoscopic assisted technique (n=21, 24 ears), and group 2 underwent tympanoplasty with the conventional microscopic technique (n=14, 15 ears). We used a transcanal approach in group 1 and a postauricular approach in group 2. In group 1, there were 15 cases of simple COM and nine cases of adhesive otitis media. In group 2, only 15 cases of simple COM were present. We analyzed the outcomes in terms of the hearing gain according to the surgical method and COM type, operation time, hospital stay after surgery, and graft success rate.Results. Postoperative hearing gain results including air conduction (AC) thresholds and air-bone gap (ABG) were not significantly different between the two groups (P>0.05). In both the groups, significant improvement in the postoperative AC and ABG was observed compared to the preoperative hearing. The hospital stay after surgery was significantly shorter in group 1 than the group 2: 2.1±0.4 days and 4.8±0.9 days (P<0.001), respectively. The intact graft success rate was 91.6% in group 1 and 93% in group 2; the values were not significantly different (P>0.05). There was neither intra- nor postoperative complications.Conclusion. Transcanal endoscopic ear surgery technique is more conservative than microscopic approach and can be performed in pediatric patients under 15 years of age with COM. Moreover, it offers similar surgical results compared to traditional microscopic technique, and a shorter operative time and hospital stay after surgery are the advantages of this technique.

Abstrak:Hutan produksi merupakan kawasan hutan yang dimanfaatkan untuk  memproduksi hasil hutan yangkegiatannya terdiri dari pemanenan, penanaman, pengamanan, pengolahan dan pemasaran hasil kayu di hutan produksi. Modal sosial adalah kemampuan masyarakat untuk bekerjasama demi mencapai suatu tujuan bersama di dalam suatu kelompok. Modal sosial memiliki peran yang signifikan terhadap pembangunan, khususnya terhadap pembangunan berkelanjutan karena modal sosial merupakan salah satu cara mencapai kemajuan bersama. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tiga unsur modal sosial yaitu kepercayaan (trust), jaringan sosial (network) dan norma (norms) yang terjalin antara Perum Perhutani RPH Pandantoyo, LMDH PHS dan Masyarakat Desa Hutan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif. Metode yang digunakan yaitu observasi, wawancara dan dokumentasi. Adapun informan yang dijadikan sebagai narasumber adalah Kepala Perum Perhutani, Ketua LMDH PHS dan Pesanggem (petani yang menggarap lahan hutan milik Perhutani). Teknik analisis data menggunakan wawancara dan dokumentasi, kemudian data diolah sesuai dengan fokus penelitian sehingga ditemukan temuan data. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa modal sosial di dalam pengelolaan hutan produksi terjalin baik karena tingginya rasa kepedulian diantara Perum Perhutani RPH Pandantoyo, LMDH PHS dan masyarakat yang mengelola hutan. Perum Perhutani  dan LMDH meyakini bahwa dengan bekerjasama dengan masyarakat akan memberikan manfaat yang baik dari segi ekologi maupun ekonomi. Tanpa adanya modal sosial yang dianut oleh masyarakat maka kerjasama mereka dengan pihak yang Perhutani dan LMDH dalam mengelola hutan produksi tidak akan bertahan hingga sekarang. Diharapkan masyarakat maupun stakeholder yang terkait dalam pengelolaan hutan yang terjalin saat ini mampu dipertahankan dalam pengelolaan hutan produksi kedepan lebih baik lagi.

Sexual assertiveness in women with and without substance-dependent husbands: A comparative study
Authors: Haghparast Zeinab , Riazi Hedyeh , Shams Jamal , Ahmadi Farzane
Published: August 2019

Background

Sexual assertiveness is one of the main issues in sexual relationship between couples. Since substance dependence might disrupt this relationship the present study was designed and conducted to assess and compare sexual assertiveness in women with and without substance-dependent husbands

Methods

This was a cross-sectional study. The Hurlbert Index of Sexual Assertiveness (HISA) was used. The data then were compared between women with and without substance-dependent husbands.

Results

In all 300 women with and without substance-dependent husbands entered into the study. The mean age of the women was 37.31±8.79 and 32.70±7.24 years, and the mean duration of their marriage was 15.92±9.40 and 12.08±8.92 years, respectively. The majority of women with substance-dependent husbands had primary education (40.3%) and the majority of those with non-substance-dependent husbands had higher (37.3%). The mean score of sexual assertiveness was 50.66±14.31 in the women with substance-dependent husbands and 58.42±13.86 in those with non-substance-dependent husbands (P<0.001).

Conclusions

The risk of lower assertiveness for women with substance-dependent husbands was 2.2 times more than women with non-substance-dependent husbands. The husband’s substance dependency is therefore an issue that is worthy of attention in sexual and marital counseling. Sexual assertiveness can be improved in women with substance-dependent husbands through the implementation of appropriate interventions, such as educational and counseling programs.
Predictive value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in diagnosis of early prostate cancer among men who underwent Robotic transperineal prostate biopsy
Authors: Jingzeng Du , Lim Ee Jean , Huang Hong Hong , Lau Weber Kam On
Published: August 2019

Background：
NLR is known to have prognostic value for metastatic prostate cancer. However for early-localized prostate cancer due to lack of systemic response; the role of NLR is not conclusive. In this study we aim to evaluate the predictive value of NLR for early clinical indolent prostate cancer in patients who underwent robotic transperineal prostate biopsy (RTPB).

Methods:
Patients who underwent RTPB under general anesthesia, at Urology Department, Singapore General Hospital between Sep 2006 and Feb 2016 were retrospectively reviewed.

NLR was calculated for all patients using full blood count (FBC) that was done as pre-admission test before GA within 4 weeks before operation. And NLR values were compared between prostate cancer (PCa) and benign group.

Results:
A total 652 patients who underwent RTPB for diagnostic purpose with valid PSA level were included in this study. There were total 409 (62.7%) benign histology and 243 (37.3%) prostate cancer. There was no significant difference of median NLR between benign and prostate cancer group (2.00 vs. 1.99; P=0.29).

In the subgroups analysis, there were also no significant difference of median NLR value in clinical significant cancer (defined as Gleason 3 + 4 and above) and benign histology group (NLR 2.00 vs. 2.01, P=0.41), as well as prostate cancer and benign group according to different pre-biopsy PSA levels: PSA (ug/l) < 4, 4-10,10-20 and > 20, respectively. (Median NLR 1.34 vs. 1.76; 1.97 vs. 1.97; 1.97 vs. 2.18; 2.18 vs. 1.98, P>0.05)

Conclusion:
There were no statistical significant difference of NLR between benign and prostate cancer group as a whole or in the subgroup analyses for patients who underwent robotic transperineal prostate biopsy. NLR may have a limited role in predicting early stage prostate cancer.
PCK2:A potential Therapeutic Target and Biomarker for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Based on Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis
Authors: Wu Jiacheng , Yao Xiaoxiao , Xiang Yien , Qu Xianzhi , Liu Shui , Zhang Xuewen
Published: August 2019

Background

Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide, and is associated with a high mortality rate and poor treatment efficacy. Therefore, it is important to explore the underlying mechanisms and screen for novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

Methods

HCC and non-tumor microarray data was obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO) database and 1,612 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified. The identified DEGs were then further examined using a weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). Modules were identified and correlations with clinical parameters were examined to ultimately identify a single highly correlated module containing a single hub gene, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 2 (PCK2).The genes co-expressed with PCK2 were then examined via Gene Ontology(GO) analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathway analysis and were found to be primarily enriched in the area of energy metabolism. The association between PCK2 expression and prognosis and tumor stage was then further verified by using a HCC dataset obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Ex vivo examination of HCC and adjacent non-tumor samples via quantitative real-time PCR demonstrated that PCK2 is downregulated in HCC. Additionally, HCC cell lines overexpressing PCK2 exhibited a time-dependent reduction in cellular viability.

Results

These findings demonstrate that PCK2 is downregulated in HCC and is associated with HCC prognosis and tumorstage, and that PCK2 may affect HCC progression via energy metabolism.

Conclusions

this study may help to further elucidate possible HCC progression mechanisms and the findings presented here suggest that PCK2 may serve as a potential HCC therapeutic target or biomarker.
EPIDEMIOLOGY OF TRAUMATIC DENTAL INJURIES AMONG ADULTS IN AN INDIAN SUB-POPULATION
Authors: RAMACHANDRAN Anupama , KHAN Sulthan Ibrahim Raja , Baskaradoss Jagan
Published: August 2019

Background

The etiology, presentation and management of traumatic dental injuries (TDI’s) varies significantly between the adult and the younger population. Most epidemiological studies on TDI’s have focused on the pediatric age group. This study aims to report and compare the distributions of TDI’s among adults in a sub-population in India.

Methods

This prospective observational study was performed on 1562 consecutively selected patients (1218 Males and 344 females) from a University dental hospital in India, between July 2014 to June 2018. The clinical examinations were performed by a single trained and calibrated Endodontist. Only TDI’s to anterior teeth were recorded (canine to canine in the maxilla and mandible) and classified using a modified version of the WHO’s classification. Intraoral periapical and panoramic radiographs were also taken for all the subjects.

Result

A total of 1562 patients aged between 20 and 73 years, with a mean age of 36 years were examined during the study period. The total number of teeth with TDI’s were 3044. Males (78%) clearly outnumbered the females (22%) in all the age groups. The most common type of injury occurring in both the genders is uncomplicated crown fracture. Avulsion injuries are more likely to be seen by a dentist within 1hour post-trauma. About two third of the TDI’s were caused by road traffic accidents (RTA) followed by falls in about 20% of the patients.

Conclusion

Uncomplicated crown fracture was the most commonly observed type of TDI and RTA’s were the primary cause of TDI.

There is also lack of enough weighing scales and skilled health personnel at health facility level to ensure that birth weight for every child is timely determined. Birth weight is an indicator of the chances for survival, growth, long-term health and psychosocial development of neonates. Different anthropometric parameters are reliable surrogates of birth weight although they are highly contextual. This study assessed the best anthropometric surrogate of birth weight usable at facility and community levels in western Uganda.

Methods

A cross sectional study was conducted between July and September 2017, whereby anthropometric values of 553 neonates born at Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital were measured by two midwives and later repeated by two community health workers to determine the reproducibility. Data regarding birth weight, height, foot length and circumference of head, mid upper arm, chest, thigh and calf were collected and recorded. Frequencies, percentages and mean and standard deviation were used to describe categorical and continuous demographics of neonates respectively. Pearson correlations, specificity, sensitivity, likelihood ratios, diagnostic odds ratios and area under the curve (AUC) were determined and used to establish the most reliable anthropometric parameter that best estimates birth weight of neonates.

Results

Chest Circumference was the most reliable parameter (AUC= 0.89, DOR= 33.57). There were statistical significant mean differences in all the anthropometric measurements made by midwives and CHWs except for chest circumference (Mean difference = 0.03 cm, 95% CI: -0.22-0.29, p = 0.7963) and foot length (Mean difference = 0.03 cm, 95% CI: -0.22-0.29, p = 0.7963).

Conclusions

Chest circumference taken within 24 hours after birth is the best nthropometricsurrogate measure of birthweight. Community Health workers can measure chest circumference with almost the same accuracy like midwives.

By 2050 it is predicted that 67% of the world population is expected to be living in urban areas, with the most rapid levels of urbanisation taking place in developing countries. Urbanisation is often directly linked to the degradation of environmental quality, including quality of water, air and noise. Concurrently, the climate is changing. Together, the negative impacts of climate change and urbanisation pose significant challenges, especially in developing countries where resources to mitigate these impacts are limited. Focusing on the Berg River Catchment in South Africa, which is experiencing increasing levels of urbanisation, the impacts of climate change, the ‘wicked problem’ of service delivery to the historically disadvantaged within a developing country, persistent infrastructure backlogs, and where high unemployment is prevalent, this paper explores the increasing water quality risks due to climate change and rapid urban development and the likely direct and indirect economic impacts that this will have on the agriculture sector, which is a key contributor to the regional and national economy. The results give support to the need to invest in risk mitigation measures including the provision of basic services, the upgrading and maintenance of wastewater treatment plants and investing in ecological infrastructure.

Published: August 2019

Background

Most people in modern societies now use the Internet to obtain health-related information. By giving patients knowledge, digital health information is considered to increase patient involvement and patient-centered interactions in health care. However, concerns are raised about the varying quality of health-related websites and low health literacy in the population. There is a gap in the current knowledge of nurses’ experiences with Internet-informed patients.

Objective

The objective of this study was to explore primary health care nurses’ experiences of consultations with patients who present health-related information from the Internet.

Methods

This is a qualitative study based on interviews with 9 primary health care nurses. Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results are reported according to the consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research guidelines.

Results

The phenomenon of Internet-informed patients was considered to change the usual rules in health care, affecting attributes and actions of patients, patterns of interactions in consultations, and roles of nurses and patients. Three categories were identified: (1) Facing the downsides of Googling, (2) Patients as main actors, and (3) Nurse role challenged. Although the benefits of health-related Internet information were described, its negative consequences were emphasized overall. The problems were mainly ascribed to inaccurate Internet information and patients’ inability to effectively manage the information.

Conclusions

Our study suggests ambivalent attitudes among nurses toward health-related Internet information. In order to promote equitable care in the digital era, increased awareness in health care about useful strategies for overcoming the difficulties and embracing the benefits of conferring with Internet-informed patients seems to be a legitimate goal.

Published: August 2019

BACKGROUND

The therapist-patient therapeutic alliance is known to be an important factor in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). However, findings by previous studies for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder (PD), and social anxiety disorder (SAD) have not been consistent regarding whether this alliance provides symptomatic improvements.

OBJECTIVE

This study investigated predictors of symptom improvement in patients receiving CBT via video conferencing.

METHODS

A total of 29 patients who participated in a previous clinical trial were recruited for the current study. Therapeutic alliance and clinical background in patients with OCD, PD, and SAD were measured at first session or the eighth session, which were calculated by multiple regression analyses to estimate the impact on therapeutic response percentage change.

RESULTS

The multiple regression analyses showed that, among the independent variables, only patients’ agreement in the therapeutic alliance remained viable, as other variables were a best fit for the excluded model (P=.002). The results show that patients’ agreement on therapeutic goals and tasks explains the prognosis, as the normalization factor beta was 0.54 (SE 32.73; 95% CI 1.23-5.17; P=.002) and the adjusted R2 was .266.

CONCLUSIONS

Patients' agreement on therapeutic goals and tasks predicts improvement after CBT via video conferencing.

Private tutoring was non-formal education and it was needed to help student in learning.There were already tutoring system developed where the selection of private tutors was done by filtering peocess. However, filtering process was not suitable with needs and desires of students.Besides the filtering process, to support the solution in making decisions on the selection of private tutors on the E-Privat system it also used the Decision Suport System (DSS) concept, namely a combination of AHP and SAW methods. AHP method was used to find the weights in each criterion, and the ranking calculation with the SAW method.E-Privat aimed to help parents / students in choosing private tutors that suit the needs and desires of students by involving multi-criteria and various alternative. This system was also developed to help private tutors to get the opportunity to fill out private lessons.  The testing process results showed that the system had been successful and suitable for used. There were 5 testing processes : (1)black box testing, (2)white box testing, (3)accuracy test which showed a percentage of 87%, and (4)user's response test whichused the SUS method showed a percentage 92.08% with best imaginable category.
Extended Kalman Filter In Recurrent Neural Network: USDIDR Forecasting Case Study
Authors: Hazazi Muhammad Asaduddin , Sihabuddin Agus
Published: August 2019

Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) especially Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) have been widely used to predict currency exchange rates. The learning algorithm that is commonly used in ANN is Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD). One of the advantages of SGD is that the computational time needed is relatively short. But SGD also has weaknesses, including SGD requiring several hyperparameters such as the regularization parameter. Besides that SGD relatively requires a lot of epoch to reach convergence. Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) as a learning algorithm on RNN is used to replace SGD with the hope of a better level of accuracy and convergence rate. This study uses IDR / USD exchange rate data from 31 August 2015 to 29 August 2018 with 70% data as training data and 30% data as test data. This research shows that RNN-EKF produces better convergent speeds and better accuracy compared to RNN-SGD.

ON THE DISCRETIZATION OF A BISTABLE CANTILEVER BEAM WITH APPLICATION TO ENERGY HARVESTING
Authors: Noll Max-Uwe , Lentz Lukas , Von Wagner Utz
Published: August 2019

A typical setup for energy harvesting is that of a cantilever beam with piezoceramics excited by ambient base vibrations. In order to get higher energy output for a wide range of excitation frequencies, often a nonlinearity is introduced by intention in that way, that two magnets are fixed close to the free tip of the beam. Depending on strength and position of the magnets, this can either result in a mono-, bi- or tristable system. In our study, we focus on a bistable system. Such systems have been investigated thoroughly in literature while in almost all cases the beam has been discretized by a single shape function, in general the first eigenshape of the linear beam with undeflected stable equilibrium position.There can be some doubts about the suitability of a discretization by a single shape function mainly due to two reasons. First: In case of stochastic broadband excitations a discretization, taking into consideration just the first vibration shape seems not to be reasonable. Second: as the undeflected position of the considered system is unstable and the system significantly nonlinear, the question arises, if using just one eigenshape of the linear beam is a suitable approximation of the operation shapes during excited oscillations even in the case of harmonic excitation. Are there other, e.g. amplitude dependent, possibilities and/or should multiple ansatz functions be considered instead?In this paper, we focus mainly on the second point. Therefore, a bistable cantilever beam with harmonic base excitation is considered and experimental investigations of operation shapes are performed using a high-speed camera. The observed operation shapes are expanded in a similar way as it is done in a theoretical analysis by a corresponding mixed Ritz ansatz. The results show the existence of distinct superharmonics (as one can expect for a nonlinear system) but additionally the necessity to use more than one shape function in the discretization, covering also the amplitude dependence of the observed operation shapes.
ON THE PROBLEM OF STRAIN LOCALIZATION AND FRACTURE SITE PREDICTION IN MATERIALS WITH IRREGULAR GEOMETRY OF INTERFACES
Authors: Balokhonov Ruslan , Romanova Varvara
Published: August 2019

The interfacial mechanisms of the stress-strain localization in non-homogeneous media are investigated, using a steel substrate - iron boride coating composition subjected to tension as an example. A dynamic boundary-value problem in a plane-strain formulation is solved numerically by the finite-difference method. The curvilinear substrate-coating interface geometry is assigned explicitly in calculations and is in agreement with experiment. Constitutive relations accounting for an elastic-plastic response of the isotropically-hardened substrate and for a brittle fracture of the coating are employed. Three stages of the plastic strain localization in the steel substrate are found to occur due to the irregular interface geometry. Distributions of the stress concentration regions in the coating are shown to be different at different stages. The stress concentration in the coating is demonstrated to increase nonlinearly during the third stage. The location of fracture is found to depend on the strength of the coating.
