Evaluation of Galerkin Singular Integrals for Anisotropic Elasticity: Displacement Equation
Authors: Gray L. J. , Griffith A. , Johnson L. , Wawrzynek P. A.
Published: February 2016

Algorithms for the direct evaluation of singular Galerkin boundary integrals for three-dimensional anisotropic elasticity are presented. The integral of the traction kernel is defined as a boundary limit, and (partial) analytic evaluation is employed to compute the limit. The spherical angle components of the Green's function and its derivatives are not known in closed form, and thus the analytic integration requires a splitting of the kernel, into 'singular' and 'non-singular' terms. For the coincident singular integral, a single analytic evaluation suffices to isolate the potentially divergent term, and to show that this term self-cancels. The implementation for a linear element is considered in detail, and the extension to higher order curved interpolation is also discussed. Results from test calculations establish that the algorithms are successful.
The whole crack singular element for 2-D boundary element analysis of multiple straight cracks in the general anisotropic solids
Authors: Denda M , Mattingly E
Published: February 2016

We develop a singular crack element for the general anisotropic solids in two dimensions for the mixed mode boundary element analysis of multiple straight cracks. Given a normalized crack along an interval (âˆ’1, +1) on the X-axis, we represent the crack opening displacement (COD) by the continuous distribution of dislocation dipoles, which is interpolated by the Chebyshev polynomials with the p1 âˆ’ X2 weight function. The analytical integration of the dislocation dipole distribution leads to a closed form displacement formula for the crack with the pr COD and the 1/pr stress singularity at its tips. In the BE solution, the stress intensity factors are determined, along with the unknown boundary displacements and tractions, without the post-processing. The proposed crack element, called the whole crack singular element (WCSE), drastically simplifies the mixed mode analysis of multiple straight cracks in the general anisotropic solids with no sacrifice of the accuracy.
Numerical Green's Functions for Line Force and Dislocation around Multiple Cracks
Authors: Denda M , Quick P
Published: February 2016

The numerical Green's function technique for an inÂ¯nite isotropic domain with multiple cracks is developed. The singularities considered are the line force and dislocation. The Green's function is decomposed into the singular and the image terms. To obtain the image term we represent the crack opening displacement (COD) by the dislocation dipole distribution, embed the pr crack tip behavior, and integrate the resulting singular/hyper-singular integrals analytically. The re- sulting whole crack singular element (WCSE) consists of multiple independent crack opening modes and is strictly algebraic with the correct crack tip singular behavior but the magnitude for each mode is unknown. They are determined to give the negative of the crack surface traction induced by the singular term. Ex- tensive error analysis is performed for the line force and dislocation in an inÂ¯nite domain with a single crack to identify the region where, when these singularities are placed, the solution achieves high accuracy. Following the guideline set by the error analysis, numerical Green's functions for a few multiple crack conÂ¯gurations are obtained for the line force and dislocation.

Boundary element modeling and analysis of adhesive bonded structural joints
Authors: Cavallini G. , Davi G. , Milazzo A.
Published: February 2016

In this paper, a boundary element technique for modeling and analysis of adhesive bonded structural joints is presented. The formulation is developed in the framework of the anisotropic elasticity and attention is focused on the application to composite structural joints built with the splicing concept technique. To model and analyze composite bonded joints a multidomain implementation of the boundary element method has been used. It has been proven well suited and very effective for the characterization of the mechanical behavior of spliced joints, allowing the analysis of the high gradient stress and strain fields near the splice lines as well as the prediction of the overall distribution of the interlaminar tractions. Numerical results show good agreement with analytical solution and finite element analyses.
Regularization of the Divergent Integrals. II. Application in Fracture Mechanics.
Authors: Zozulya Vladimir
Published: February 2016

In this article the methodology for divergent integral regularization developed in [8] is applied for regularization of the weakly singular and hypersingular integrals, which arise when the boundary integral equations (BIE) methods are used to solve problems in fracture mechanics. The approach is based on the theory of distribution and the application of the Green theorem. The weakly singular and hypersingular integrals over arbitrary convex polygon have been transformed to the regular contour integrals that can be easily calculated analytically or numerically.
Green's Functions for Mixed Boundary Value Problems in Regions of Irregular Shape
Authors: Melnikov Yuri A. , Melnikov Max Y.
Published: February 2016

A semi-analytic approach is applied to the construction of Green's functions and matrices of Green's type for Laplace and Klein-Gordon equation in two dimensions. Mixed boundary value problems posed on multiply connected regions are considered. Statements of the problems are complicated by intricate geometry of the regions and different types of boundary conditions imposed on different fragments of the boundary. The approach is based on a combination of the Green's function method and the method of functional equations. Kernels of resolving potentials representing the regular components of the Green's functions to be constructed are built with Green's functions obtained for regions of standard shape.
Numerical modelling of the blowing phase in the production of glass containers
Authors: Dijkstra Willem , Mattheij Bob
Published: February 2016

The industrial manufacturing of glass containers consists of several phases, one of which is the blowing phase. This paper describes the development of a numerical simulation tool for this phase. The hot liquid glass is modelled as a viscous fluid and its flow is governed by the Stokes equations. We use the boundary element method to solve the Stokes equations and obtain the velocity profile at the glass surface. The movement of the surface obeys an ordinary differential equation. We use the Euler forward method to perform a time integration step and update the shape of the glass surface. All calculations are performed in three dimensions. This allows us to simulate the blowing of glass containers that are not rotationally symmetric. The contact between glass and mould is modelled using a partial-slip condition. A number of simulations on model glass containers illustrates the results.

Hypersingular formulation for boundary stress evaluation revisited. Part 1: Smooth boundaries.
Authors: Salvadori Alberto
Published: February 2016

This work focuses on the (HBIE) hypersingular boundary integral equation,
also called traction equation, and on its use to evaluate the stress tensor
in linear elasticity. When the field point is moved to the boundary, by means
of a limit process, free terms come into play. As a common belief, they are
due to the strongly singular kernel: indeed it is proved that the hypersingular
kernel does not cause any free term when tractions are evaluated on
smooth boundaries with respect to the boundary surface normal (when the
concept of normal makes sense). The stress tensor along the boundary involves
surfaces with normal differing from the boundary normal, too. In this
case, free terms are proved to be generated also by the hypersingular kernel,
aside from the regularity of the boundary: their analysis is the main goal of
the present work.
An iterative method based on boundary integrals for elliptic Cauchy problems in semi-infinite domains
Authors: Chapko R. , Johansson B.T.
Published: February 2016

In this study, we investigate the problem of reconstruction of a stationary temperature field from given temperature and heat flux on a part of the boundary of a semi-infinite region containing an inclusion. This situation can be modelled as a Cauchy problem for the Laplace operator and it is an ill-posed problem in the sense of Hadamard. We propose and investigate a Landweber-Fridman type iterative method, which preserve the (stationary) heat operator, for the stable reconstruction of the temperature field on the boundary of the inclusion. In each iteration step, mixed boundary value problems for the Laplace operator are solved in the semi-infinite region. Well-posedness of these problems is investigated and convergence of the procedures is discussed. For the numerical implementation of these mixed problems an efficient boundary integral method is proposed which is based on the indirect variant of the boundary integral approach. Using this approach the mixed problems are reduced to integral equations over the (bounded) boundary of the inclusion. Numerical examples are included showing that stable and accurate reconstructions of the temperature field on the boundary of the inclusion can be obtained also in the case of noisy data. These results are compared with those obtained with the alternating iterative method.
A Technique to Remove Second Order Singularity Application in the Boundary Element Method for Elastoplasticity Plane Stress Analysis
Authors: Bakar S.A. , Saleh A.L.
Published: February 2016

This paper presents a technique to establish the strain incremental formulation in the boundary element method applied to elastoplasticity problem. In this technique, the application of second order singularity problem is avoided, and only first order singularity problem is sufficient. The proposed technique is applied to analyse a timber beam structure at the plastic stage. The solution is compared with existing strain formulation method proposed by established publication. The result gives an improved solution compared with the existing method. The proposed technique is a simplified formulation where there is no second order singularity involved in the formulation.
Boundary integral equations for plane orthotropic bodies and exterior regions
Authors: Szeidl G. , Dudra J.
Published: February 2016

Assuming linear displacements and constant strains and stresses at infinity, we re-formulate the equations of the direct boundary element method for plane problems of elasticity. We consider a body made of orthotropic material. The reformulated equations make it possible to attack plane problems on exterior regions without replacing the region by a bounded one.
Recovering boundary data in planar heat conduction using a boundary integral equation method
Authors: Chapko Roman , Johansson Tomas , Vavrychuk Vasyl
Published: February 2016

We consider a Cauchy problem for the heat equation, where the temperature field is to be reconstructed from the temperature and heat flux given on a part of the boundary of the solution domain. We employ a Landweber type method proposed in ~\cite{Bast}, where a sequence of mixed well-posed problems are solved at each iteration step to obtain a stable approximation to the original Cauchy problem. We develop an efficient boundary integral equation method for the numerical solution of these mixed problems, based on the method of Rothe. Numerical experiments are presented both with exact and noisy data, showing the efficiency and stability of the proposed procedure and approximations.

A Survey of the Canals and Water Raceways of New Jersey
Authors: Hoffman Jeff
Published: February 2016

Canals and water raceways played an important role in the history and economic development of New Jer-sey. Much of the early settlement and industrial activity centered on areas with water transportation and water power. But many of these canals and raceways have been forgotten and lost. A small percentage still exist as abandoned waterways. A smaller percentage are still in use, for either their original purpose or for recreation. A new survey of the current and historic canals and water raceways of New Jersey found 171 of them. The locations are available in a GIS shapefile that indicates their current status (active or abandoned) and condition (wet or dry). The shapefile also shows the locations of locks and inclined planes on the Mor-ris Canal and the Delaware & Raritan Canal. The number of mapped historical water raceways in an area directly correlated to the interest and activity of local historians. Undoubtedly many more water raceways remain to be rediscovered. This report will be updated by the New Jersey Geological Survey as additional canals and water raceways are identified and reliably located.
"I Make Politics My Recreation": Vice President Garrett Hobart and Nineteenth-Century Business Politics
Authors: Connolly Michael
Published: February 2016

Until recent decades, American vice presidents were relatively obscure, little-known men who had minimal impact upon the politics and policies of the administrations they served. On this ignominious list remains Garret A. Hobart (1844-1899) of Paterson, New Jersey, vice president under President William McKinley, a businessman-turned-politician who died before his term expired. A closer look, however, reveals a man dubbed “assistant President” by contemporary journalists, an influential policymaker who had the president‟s confidence, and a lawyer-entrepreneur who shrewdly maneuvered the shadowy line between business and politics. At times, his pursuit of personal fortune in the railroad and water supply businesses veered into suspicions of graft and illegality. Far from being a nineteenth-century nonentity, Hobart was a central voice for the Republican Party during the 1890s, and one of the more influential and controversial vice presidents in American history.
James Sloan: Renegade or True Republican?
Authors: Bendler Bruce
Published: February 2016

This paper examines the political career of James Sloan of Gloucester County, New Jersey. Sloan was instrumental in organizing the Democratic Republican party in Gloucester County, and he represented New Jersey in the United States House of Representatives from 1803 to 1809. Sloan was born into a Quaker family, but he supported the Whig cause in the American Revolution and faced disciplinary action from his Quaker meeting for doing so. Later, he would gravitate toward Methodism, but he never seemed comfortable in any religious organization. Historian Carl Prince called Sloan an “anomaly” in New Jersey politics. Sloan’s career certainly did manifest anomalous behavior. He criticized his party after it took control of the state legislature in 1801, viewing its implementation of republican principles as insufficiently zealous. As a member of Congress, he broke with the Jefferson administration over the Embargo. After leaving Congress, he coalesced with New Jersey Federalists in opposition to the War of 1812, helping to elect a “peace ticket” in that year. This paper examines Sloan’s role in state and national politics in the very early nineteenth century. Specifically, it points out some of the tensions within the Democratic Republican party, especially among those who were displeased with the domination of the “Virginia Dynasty.” Sloan led efforts to challenge this domination and to offer alternatives to the New Jersey electorate.

“To Reach Sweet Home Again”:The Impact of Soldiering on New Jersey’s Troops During the American Civil War
Authors: Bussanich Lenny
Published: February 2016

This paper examines the profound disillusionment with soldiering, caused by sheer physical hardship and psychological trauma, experienced by New Jersey servicemen during the Civil War. While not unique to New Jersey soldiers, ample sources are cited in the footnotes examining this phenomenon endured by soldiers from other states. The paper is also placed in a larger historiographic debate, spearheaded by military historian Gerald F. Linderman, surrounding soldiers‟ motivations regarding enlistment and the more varied and complex reasons for remaining in the ranks. Such motivations encompassed principally patriotic and religious beliefs, as well as the motivation to prove one‟s manhood and courage on the battlefield. Linderman convincingly argues that the war‟s horrors and brutalities soon transformed lofty ideals into sentiments of utter despair and hopelessness which historians have failed to appreciate. Historians James M. McPherson and Earl J. Hess directly responded to Linderman‟s thesis and argue instead soldiers‟ beliefs and values not only induced their enlistment but actually sustained them as the war dragged on. This paper attempts to validate, through the medium and experience of New Jersey servicemen, Linderman‟s more compelling argument regarding the transformation of Civil War soldiers.

Outage Probability and Ergodic Capacity of Spectrum-Sharing Systems with MRC Diversity
Authors: Jarrouj Jiana , Blagojevic Vesna , Ivanis Predrag
Published: February 2016

The spectrum sharing system employing maximum ratio combining (MRC) is analyzed in Nakagami fading environment, for the case when the interference from the primary user is present at the input of the secondary user receiver. The closed-form expressions for the probability density function of the signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio, the outage probability and the ergodic capacity of the SU link are derived under both peak interference and maximal transmit power constraints. Asymptotical expressions are provided for the important region where peak interference power constraint dominates and the case when the interference from the primary user’s is dominant compared to the noise at the secondary user’s receiver. The obtained expressions are presented for both cases of outdated and mean-value based power allocation and verified by using Monte Carlo simulation method.
Physico-chemical Characteristics and Oxidative Stability of Date-Pits Oil during Storage at Different Temperatures
Authors: Al-Kharousi Naima , Al-Khusaibi Mohammed , Al-Bulushi Ismail , Guizani Nejib , Waly Mostafa , Rahman Mohammad Shafiur
Published: February 2016

In this study, oxidative stability of date-pits (i. e. Khalas variety) was investigated during storage as a function of temperature. The stability of date-pits oil was determined by measuring acid value (AV), peroxide value (PV), p-anisidine value (PAV), tocopherol and oxidative stability index. Initial characteristics of oil were assessed by measuring its physico-chemical and melting characteristics, fatty acids composition and aflatoxin. Storage of date-pits caused highest reduction in linoleic acid (C18:2, ω6) followed by oleic acid (C18:1, ω9). AV, PV and PAV of the fresh oil were 1.41 mg KOH/g oil, 3.30 meq/kg oil and 0.60, respectively. These values increased linearly at slower rate in the case of 30 °C storage, while sharp rise was observed after 40 days in cases of 100 and 150 °C storage (p < 0.05). The results of this study indicate that date pits oil had a good oxidative and thermal stability and could thus be used to develop value-added food ingredients.
United, Yet Apart? A Note on Persistent Labour Market Differences between Western and Eastern Germany
Authors: Schnabel Claus
Published: February 2016

Comparing aggregate statistics and surveying selected empirical studies, this paper shows that the characteristics and results of labour markets in eastern and western Germany have become quite similar in some respects but still differ markedly in others even 25 years after unification. Whereas no substantial differences can be detected in firms’ labour demand decisions and in employees’ representation via works councils or trade unions, both parts of the country are somewhat apart concerning labour supply behaviour, labour productivity, wages, and bargaining coverage, and they still exhibit substantially different rates of unemployment. These differences may reflect observable and unobservable characteristics of economic actors as well as differences in behaviour, norms, and individuals’ attitudes.

ERROR ANALYSIS ON INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY STUDENTS’ SENTENCE WRITING ASSIGNMENTS
Authors: Silalahi Rentauli Mariah
Published: February 2016

Students’ error analysis is very important for helping EFL teachers to develop their teaching materials, assessments and methods. However, it takes much time and effort from the teachers to do such an error analysis towards their students’ language. This study seeks to identify the common errors made by 1 class of 28 freshmen students studying English in their first semester in an IT university. The data is collected from their writing assignments for eight consecutive weeks. The errors found were classified into 24 types and the top ten most common errors committed by the students were article, preposition, spelling, word choice, subject-verb agreement, auxiliary verb, plural form, verb form, capital letter, and meaningless sentences. The findings about the students’ frequency of committing errors were, then, contrasted to their midterm test result and in order to find out the reasons behind the error recurrence; the students were given some questions to answer in a questionnaire format. Most of the students admitted that careless was the major reason for their errors and lack understanding came next. This study suggests EFL teachers to devote their time to continuously check the students’ language by giving corrections so that the students can learn from their errors and stop committing the same errors.
REGISTER ANALYSIS OF THE CONVERSATIONS AMONG PETROLEUM ENGINEERS
Authors: Nurani Siti
Published: February 2016

This present research aims at identifying register used in the conversations among petroleum engineers by examining the linguistic feature which is viewed from the aspect of the field, the tenor and the mode of discourse of the Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) approach. Findings show that in the field of discourse, all terms of register found in the experiential domain analysis function as technical terms, of which the two major forms of nouns and verbs (i.e., single-word and compound/phrasal word forms) are the most frequent categories identified among other kinds of technical terms. The goal orientation appears to have both short and long term while the social activity results in exchanges among participants. In the tenor of discourse, the agentive role is said to be equal and the social role is considered as non-hierarchic. The social distance within the interaction is said to be minimal which is excessively characterized by the use of informal form of expressions. In the mode of discourse, the language role exists equally of both constitutive and ancillary identified by the use of present simple tense and non-present tenses, that is, future simple, past simple and present perfect. The channel is in phonic form. The medium is in spoken with visual contact as it is largely characterized by the use of endophoric reference as well as pronouns.

The variables used were the BI rate, the money supply (M2), and inflation. This study using Pearson correlation analysis to measure the relationship between these three variables. The results of this study indicate that the BI rate has a significant positive correlation to the amount of money supply (M2). BI rate has no significant negative correlation to inflation. While the money supply has no significant positive correlation to inflation (M2). These anomalies can be caused by fluctuation of currency exchange rates on foreign currency Indonesia, balance of payments, current account deficit, or the amount of government debt that is maturing. For the case of Indonesia, the policy to control inflation through interest rate increases become ineffective if some basic assumptions both Keynesian and Monetarist not met.DOI: 10.15408/sjie.v3i1.2064

Bliski Wschód bez chrześcijan? Współczesne ludobójstwo wyznawców Chrystusa na terenie Iraku i Syrii
Authors: Guzik Paulina
Published: February 2016

Terytoria dzisiejszego Iraku, niegdyś Mezopotamii, od pierwszych wieków zamieszkiwane były przez chrześcijan. Od czasu wzrostu potęgi religii islamskiej chrześcijanie doświadczali na tych terenach prześladowań. Współcześnie najbardziej dotkliwe prześladowania chrześcijan na tych terenach rozpoczęły się w 2003 roku, kiedy wraz z Amerykanami w Iraku pojawił się chaos i próżnia władzy. Całkowicie odsunięci od władzy Sunnici – jednym z nich był Saddam Hussein – odbudowali swoją pozycję w Iraku, wstępując w szeregi sunnickiego Państwa Islamskiego. Od czasu jego powstania w czerwcu 2014 roku chrześcijanie, wraz z innymi mniejszościami religijnymi na terenach Iraku i Syrii są regularnie i masowo zabijani, ludność ta zmuszona jest do życia w warunkach uwłaczających godności, bez odpowiedniej opieki zdrowotnej i pracy, chrześcijańskie dzieci są odbierane rodzicom i oddawane na wychowanie w bazach Państwa Islamskiego. Wszystkie te czynniki noszą znamiona ludobójstwa wymienione w Konwencji ws. zapobiegania i karania zbrodni ludobójstwa. Artykuł ten jest próbą odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy w Iraku i Syrii dochodzi do ludobójstwa mniejszości chrześcijańskiej i czy istnieje obawa całkowitego wyparcia chrześcijan z Bliskiego Wschodu. Aby udzielić odpowiedzi na zadane pytania, przytoczę świadectwa osób mieszkających w Iraku i cierpiących prześladowania, posłużę się także opiniami ekspertów i analizami dotyczącymi przyszłości Bliskiego Wschodu i perspektyw na pokonanie Państwa Islamskiego.
