Published: December 2017

At present, the control of vibration problem of many engineering equipment can be simplified as a study on transverse vibration of axially traveling string system. In this paper, transverse vibration control and energy dissipation of axially traveling string system is investigated by using a boundary viscous damper. By analyzing the nature frequencies of the fixed length and the variable length of the string system, the resonance frequency of the external concentrated force is obtained. The amplitude and the energy reflection ratio of reflected wave to incident wave is investigated respectively by the force equilibrium principle and the energy equation at the boundary. According to amplitude and the energy reflection ratio, the range and the optimal value of damping coefficient are obtained. The effect of vibration dissipation with a viscous damper and an external concentrated force at the left boundary is investigated respectively by the numerical simulation.

Authors: Zou Long Qing , Chen Gui Juan , Zou Qian , Zhao Hai Yang
Published: December 2017

Some components in Double horse head (DHH) pumping unit may occur cracking failure due to high cycle alternating stress, and this makes the research on dynamic stress simulation for them more interesting topic in its maintenance operation. This paper aims to improve the accuracy of dynamic stress simulation model through a parameter optimization method for the cable joints in DHH pumping unit. A series of cylinders was employed to model the steel cable, and the back horse head was also transformed to flexible body, then a rigid-flexible multibody dynamics model with cable was constructed to simulate the dynamic stress of components in DHH pumping unit. Stiffness and damping coefficient in cable joints have a significant effect on the model performance, and an unreasonable value may cause a strong vibrational and undesirable model response, therefore, a Memetic Algorithms based method was proposed to optimize them for improving the simulation accuracy using tested stress as objective function. Results show that the dynamic stress simulated from improved model is much closer to the experimental test compared with the original model, and these optimized parameters are also valid for the model in other working condition.

Published: December 2017

The proposed research involves, a design and implementation of DC source fed improved Dual output Buck-Boost converter for agricultural and industrial applications. It consists of step up and step-down converter, DC-link module. Compared with conventional two converters, the designed system results in reduction of voltage tension across the switches, compact power switches, DC source reckoning and reduced inrush current. DC-link switching is achieved by reduced ripple voltage which results in improved quality of obtained output power. Reduction in switch count makes the system more cost effective. In addition, the motor speed is regulated by PI controller. Brushless DC Motor produce torque ripple and cause mechanical vibration, acoustic noise due to structural imperfectness and control system, to overcome this suppression control method of vibration for brushless DC motor utilizing feedforward compensation with Fourier transform utilizing a vibration signal acquired by an acceleration sensor attached to the motor frame is proposed. A simulation and prototype model of Dual output Buck-Boost converter is developed, and its performance is analysed for various operating conditions.

Benchmark solutions of the free vibration of simply supported laminated composite plates
Authors: Wang Xinwei
Published: December 2017

Due to the high specific strength and stiffness, laminated composite plates, especially mid-plane symmetric laminated composite plates, are frequently used as structural component in aeronautical and aerospace engineering. Since obtaining analytic solutions are difficult even for simply supported mid-plane symmetric laminated composite plates, numerical methods have to be used to obtain approximate solutions. To evaluate various numerical methods, benchmark solutions are needed. In this article, highly accurate frequencies of simply supported angle-ply mid-plane symmetric laminated composite plates with two sets of equivalent material properties are obtained by the modified differential quadrature method and presented to serve as the benchmark solutions.

Potential biofoulants in open-ocean SWRO desalination station in Jeddah, KSA
Authors: Mohamed Hatem E. , Al-Sharif Sharaf F. , Bamaga Omar A. , Albeirutty Mohammed H.
Published: December 2017

Currently, water desalination is an essential solution for the high demand for water worldwide. A sea water reverse osmosis (SWRO) facility fulfills the need for pure water. Conventionally, these plants use open-ocean water that is rich with natural organic matter (NOM) and transparent exo-polymers (TEP). Marine flora increases the demand for fouling the membrane in the SWRO facility that raises the pressure and results in the halting of the station. Therefore, water samples were collected from SWRO stages during high-pressure problems to probe the factors that play a key role in membrane biofouling. NOM and TEP particles physically disappeared after the dual-media filter (DMF). However, turbidity significantly increased after the DMF stage, which is indicative of the fragmentation of NOM and TEP particles. Chlorophyll and phycoerythrin disappeared after the DMF stage but were observed in the reject stage (brine). Therefore, NOM and TEP are playing a role indirectly in membrane biofouling. Fifteen potential species of heterotrophic prokaryotes are identified and recorded in all stages of the SWRO. The characteristics of these species imply that they form a cooperative consortium that potentially creates the biofilm in the RO membrane. Therefore, SWRO facilities that use open-ocean water must develop highly sophisticated pretreatment technology to eliminate the seeds of the biofilm that fouls RO membranes.
Chemical stress from Fe salts dosing on biological phosphorus and potassium behavior
Authors: Fan Jie , Zhang Hang , Ye Jiasong , Ji Bin
Published: December 2017

In simultaneous precipitation, interaction between chemical and biological P removal could not be ignored. This work investigated effects of ferrous sulfate and Fe precipitates on metabolic behavior of bio-P and its counter cation of potassium. After dosing, mixed liquid suspended solids (MLSS) increased 9%, pH decreased from 7.35 to 7.00, sludge volume index (SVI) decreased, electrical conductivity increased. Chemical oxygen demand (COD) and NH3 removal was not affected. Fe dosing initially showed synergistic effect, and then inhibition appeared at accumulative dose above 10 mgFe/gMLSS. Both precipitate FePO4 and Fe(OH)3 deteriorated effluent P. FePO4 dissolved 35% in anaerobic phase which failed to be totally reprecipitated in oxic phase, resulting in increased effluent P. FePO4 inhibited K uptake rather than bio-P uptake. Fe(OH)3 caused reduction of bio-P release, meanwhile, its inhibition on K and bio-P uptake was greater than FePO4. Phosphorus metabolism was inhibited when sludge contained 0.15 mM FePO4 or 0.10 mM Fe(OH)3. Increased K/P molar ratio and coefficient b could be indicators for Fe residual in sludge. Intermittent dosing was suggested for wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) operation.

Authors: Tunçal Tolga
Published: December 2017

In this study, disintegration of dewatered sludge (dry solids content [DS%] = 23 ±2) was studied to assess the possibility of enhancing the overall performance of a thermal dewatering processes. Powdered lime was used as an alkaline disintegrator. The combined effects of drying temperature, powdered lime dosage, and organic content on the thermal drying rate of dewatered sludge were investigated in a full‐scale wastewater treatment plant. Effects of selected design parameters on the sludge drying rate were modeled using a response surface method. In addition, the possible interaction between lost on ignition and total organic carbon parameters also was investigated statistically. Specific resistance to filtration and free water contents of raw and disintegrated mixed sludge (DS% = 1.0 to 1.8) samples were compared statistically. The obtained results indicated that all of the selected design parameters have a significant effect on thermal dewatering characteristics, and the alkaline disintegration technique could remarkably improve thermal evaporation rate of dewatered sludge. These results are important because they could help to establish a sustainable sludge management model, which is critical in reducing environmental health risks.

Rate controls on silicate dissolution in cementitious environments
Authors: Oey Tandre , Hsiao Yi-Hsuan , Callagon Erika , Wang Bu , Pignatelli Isabella , Bauchy Mathieu , Sant Gaurav N.
Published: December 2017

The dissolution rate of silicate minerals and glasses in alkaline environments is of importance in cementitious systems due to its influences on: (a) early-age reactivity that affects the rate of strength gain and microstructure formation, and/or, (b) chemical durability of aggregates; compromises in which can result deleterious processes such as alkali-silica reaction (ASR). In spite of decades of study, quantitative linkages between the atomic structure of silicates and their dissolution rate in aqueous media (i.e., chemical reactivity) has remained elusive. Recently, via pioneering applications of molecular dynamics simulations and nanoscale-resolved measurements of dissolution rates using vertical scanning interferometry, a quantitative basis has been established to link silicate dissolution rates to the topology (rigidity) of their atomic networks. Specifically, an Arrhenius-like expression is noted to capture the dependence between silicate dissolution rates and the average number of constraints placed on a central atom in a network (nc, i.e., an indicator of the network’s rigidity). This finding is demonstrated by: (i) ordering fly ashes spanning Ca-rich/poor variants in terms of their reactivity, and, (ii) assessing alterations in the reactivity of albite, and quartz following irradiation due to their potential to induce ASR in concrete exposed to radiation, e.g., in nuclear power plants.
A review on the bond behavior of FRP composites applied on masonry substrates
Authors: Bellini Alessandro , Mazzotti Claudio
Published: December 2017

The need of repairing and retrofitting masonry buildings, typical of Italian and European built heritage, determined a growing interest towards the development of effective and cost efficient innovative strengthening solutions. Among the different techniques currently available, the adoption of composite materials, such as Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRPs), proved to be one of the most viable solutions for the strengthening of masonry structures. If not properly fixed, a common failure mode of this system is the early debonding of the reinforcement from the substrate. For this reason, several experimental tests and numerical analyses are currently available in the literature, clarifying and predicting the bond behavior of FRP glued to masonry substrates. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the results obtained by the different experimental works, of the numerical analyses performed both for evaluating and validating experimental results and of the simplified analytical models currently available for the prediction of the maximum capacity of the strengthening systems. Results of extended experimental campaigns, carried out also within different Round Robin Test (RRT) series, with several laboratories involved, and recent model calibrations will be discussed together with the approach proposed by the actual guidelines.

The diasporic literature helps us in understanding various cultures in a broader perspective. Indian Diasporic writing seems a very significant set-up linking the entire world. The Indian Diaspora has attempted to bring astonishing realities located in the Indian rural culture. The European travelers and the orientalists have revitalized the varied culture of India and enriched the English literature through their literary work. Rudyard Kipling lived in India for some years, hence was fully acquainted with the people and entire way of life in India. Kim (1901) by Rudyard Kipling, is a remarkable novel which portrays diverse religions of India, its people and culture. The novel represents a multicolored picture of India viewing its indigenous spirit. It focuses on a life of Kim, a boy of Irish descent, who is orphaned and grows up as a native Indian. Taking into consideration the various facets of the novel, it seems that Kipling generates the realistic portrayal of Indian life. He very honestly depicts the indigenous spirit of Indian backdrop through this novel. This beautiful land itself remains the theme of novel.

Experiences of Using Web-Based and Mobile Technologies to Support Self-Management of Type 2 Diabetes: Qualitative Study (Preprint)
Authors: Kelly Laura , Jenkinson Crispin , Morley David
Published: December 2017

BACKGROUND

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is rising, placing increasing strain on health care services. Web-based and mobile technologies can be an important source of information and support for people with type 2 diabetes and may prove beneficial with respect to reducing complications due to mismanagement. To date, little research has been performed to gain an insight into people’s perspectives of using such technologies in their daily management.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this study was to understand the impact of using Web-based and mobile technologies to support the management of type 2 diabetes.

METHODS

In-depth interviews were conducted with 15 people with type 2 diabetes to explore experiences of using Web-based and mobile technologies to manage their diabetes. Transcripts were analyzed using the framework method.

RESULTS

Technology supported the users to maintain individualized and tailored goals when managing their health. A total of 7 themes were identified as important to participants when using technology to support self-management: (1) information, (2) understanding individual health and personal data, (3) reaching and sustaining goals, (4) minimizing disruption to daily life, (5) reassurance, (6) communicating with health care professionals, and (7) coordinated care.

CONCLUSIONS

Patients need to be supported to manage their condition to improve well-being and prevent diabetes-related complications from arising. Technologies enabled the users to get an in-depth sense of how their body reacted to both lifestyle and medication factors—something that was much more difficult with the use of traditional standardized information alone. It is intended that the results of this study will inform a new questionnaire designed to assess self-management in people using Web-based and mobile technology to manage their health.

Being a Sensible Woman: Hypertextuality in Grimm’s Fairy Tale and Juliet Marillier’s Wildwood Dancing
Authors: Adji Alberta Natasia
Published: December 2017

The re-writing of a fairy tale caters for characters, settings and values that have undergone changes, be it explicit or implicit. In Juliet Marillier’s Wildwood Dancing, the main female character Jena is transformed from the passive and obedient Twelfth/Youngest Princess of Grimm’s The Worn-Out Dancing Shoes into a brave and sensible figure. She challenges the oppression of patriarchal rules by taking control of her household in her father’s absence, securing her four sisters’ welfare, and keeping secret of their nocturnal dancing trips in the Other Kingdom despite being threatened by her domineering male cousin. In this way, Gerard Genette’s Hypertextuality strives to investigate the underlying patterns manifested in both literary works by applying the Re-vision element. Through it, Jena’s and the Twelfth/Youngest Princess’ sensibility trait and the socio-cultural settings surrounding them are highlighted in order to determine the importance of the overall hypertextuality process that takes place between the two. Later, Jena emerges as the more influential heroine than her predecessor character because she does not stop struggling to be regarded as an independent young woman who can always give advice and make decisions for her family affairs sensibly. Also, it is eventually proven that sensibility is indeed a strong weapon to be possessed by women in order to empower themselves against the conventions of a patriarchal world.
NOVEL CHARLOTTE KARYA DAVID FOENKINOS: SEBUAH NARASI TENTANG DISKRIMINASI, RASISME, DAN HOLOCAUST
Authors: Intan Tania
Published: December 2017

The Nazi ruling since 1933 made no secret of his dislike of Jews. Adolf Hitler even declared that "rational antisemitism must lead to a system of legal opposition, the ultimate goal of wiping out all Jews" (Mein Kampf, 1925: 27). He also developed the idea that Jews are the evil race that dominates the world. Nazi anti-Semitism is instilled in religious situations and in a political context. Then, the Nazis added a further dimension, racial anti-semitism. With the logic that Jews are not religious but racial communities, the Nazis launched various aggressions in the form of discriminatory, racist, and Holocaust. This dark phenomenon in human history is revealed in Charlotte's novel by David Foenkinos, a French writer who often receives literary awards. The discussion will be conducted by descriptive analysis method through structural approach which includes assessment of character, background, and point of view. Key words : Discrimination, Racism, Holocaust, Charlotte

Published: December 2017

Occurrence of extreme man-made impacts on buildings and structures has become frequent lately as a consequence of condensed explosives or explosive combustion of gas- vapor or air-fuel mixtures. Such accidents involve large human and economic losses, and their prevention methods are not always effective and reasonable. The given research aims at studying the way of enhancing explosion safety of building structures by means of yielding supports. The paper presents results of numerical studies (finite element, 3D nonlinear) of strength and deformability of yielding supports in the shape of annular tubes under static and short-term dynamic loading. The degree of influence of yielding supports was assessed taking into account three peculiar stages of deformation: elastic; elasto-plastic; elasto-plastic with hardening. The methodology for numerical studies performance was described. It was established that rigidity of yielding supports influences significantly their stress-strain state. The research determined that with increase of deformable elements rigidity dependency between load and deformation of yielding supports in elastic and plastic stages have linear character. Significant reduction of dynamic response and increase of deformation time of yielding supports was observed by increasing the plastic component. Therefore it allows assuming on possibility of their application as supporting units in reinforced concrete constructions

Approximations of the mesh functions in discrete Haar bases of zero and first levels are described (the mesh function is represented as the sum in which one term is its approximation of the first level, and the second term is so-called complement (up to the initial state) on the grid of the first level). Projectors are constructed for the spaces of vector functions of the original grid to the space of their approximation on the first-level grid and its complement (the detailing component) to the initial state. Basic scheme of the two-grid method is presented. This method allows solution of boundary problems of structural mechanics with the use of matrix operators of significantly smaller dimension. It should be noted that discrete analogue of the initial operator equation (defined on a given interval) is a system of linear algebraic equations (SLAE) constructed within finite difference method (FDM) or the finite element method (FEM). Next, the transition to the resolving SLAE is done. Block Gauss method is used for its direct solution (forward-backward algorithm is realized). We consider a numerical solution of the boundary problem of bending of the Bernoulli beam lying on an elastic foundation (within Winkler model) as a practically important one-dimensional sample. There is good consistency of the results obtained by the proposed method and by standard finite difference method.

Establishment of local coordinate systems in the transition to the geodetic system of coordinates of GSK-2011
Authors: Vinogradov A.V.
Published: December 2017

Pretty before long there will be transition to the geodetic system of coordinates of GSK-2011. For the transition period it is necessary to develop a method of recalculating coordinates from one system to another. The existing methods of recalculating coordinates are designed for recalculating coordinate points of state geodetic networks (GGS) and geodetic local networks (GSS). For small areas (administrative districts, populated areas) simplified methods are more acceptable. You need to choose the resampling methods that can be applied in small businesses, performing surveying works. The article presents the the results of calculations of changes of coordinates of the same point in GSK-2011 and SC-95 in six-degree zones of Gauss projection. It was found that in each region values of the shifts changed to small ones. Therefore, it is possible to convert the coordinates of the points by the simplified formulae. For recalculation from the coordinates of GSK-2011 in SK-95 or local coordinate system (WCS) of the administrative district it is necessary to find the origin of coordinates, scale value and rotation of the coordinate axes. The error of the conversion shall not exceed 0,001 m. The coordinates of the initial point of the local coordinate system relative to the central meridian of the local coordinate system shall be added in the list of parameters of the transition from local coordinate system to the state one.
KUPATAN, TRADISI UNTUK MELESTARIKAN AJARAN BERSEDEKAH, MEMPERKUAT TALI SILATURAHMI, DAN MEMULIAKAN TAMU
Authors: Amin Wildan Rijal
Published: December 2017

The Kupatan tradition is a kind of celebrating selametan which is practiced by the Javanese people of Durenan village, Trenggalek, East Java by opening houses in order to be visited by the other villagers/guests. During the celebration, the people of Durenan prepared ketupat as its beverages for their guests on the day eight of Idl Fitr, after finishing the syawal fasting. The tradition which is coming from Mbah Mesir and followed by his grandchild, Kyai Abdul Fattah Mu’in, then practiced by the people of Durenan village heredity for almost 200 years. Based on the living hadith study found out that this tradition is part of the people of Durenan in practicing the Prophet Muhammad’s Pbh. Teachings, which deals with the alms, strengthening people brotherhood, and glorifying the guests to make the life to be more blessed. The ancestors and Kyai have the role to contextualize text, social reality, and local people daily life, which then practiced into this selametan tradition.
HERMENEUTIKA JORGE J.E. GRACIA SEBAGAI ALTERNATIF TEORI PENAFSIRAN TEKSTUAL ALQUR’AN
Authors: Wathani Syamsul
Published: December 2017

This article discusses the Jorge J.E. Gracia’s hermeneutical concept used as an alternative theory of the Qur’anic textual interpretation. The discussion focuses on three main points, (i) the Qur’anic textual narration as the object of interpretation, (ii) Gracia’s hermeneutic to interpret the text, and (iii) arranging the Qur’anic textual interpretation paradigm. Based on the interpretive study, started with mapping Gracia's theory of understanding, and then systematizing it into the theory formulation, the results of the study showed: (1) the concept of qur'anic text (alnash) is the ultimate consciousness. The Qur'an is something readable/touchable (almaktub). As an alnash, Qur'an has a text mechanism in which its contextual approach becomes the main gate to open its meaning. (2) The Gracia's hermeneutic logical reasoning is directed to overcome misunderstanding (not understanding) of the text. While the development of textual interpretation method used to bridge between the historical text and the audience’s situation. (3) The paradigm of the textual interpretation used as a worldview to look at the Qur'an and its interpretation, with the concept of "alnash" as its starting point, and then working with emphasizing the existing understanding among text, audience, and context.
NEGARA DAN KEPEMIMPINAN DALAM PEMIKIRAN ALFARABI
Authors: Sukardi Imam
Published: December 2017

The political concept of Alfarabi is derivated from the concept of Platonic, Aristotelian, and Islam. The ideal state is the state which is elaborated the universal values of humanism, not just limited to certain ethnic and nation which is emphasizing its obedience just to God, not the something else. In this paper, the writer tried to interpret the original works of Alfarabi which is directly related to his political thought and the other thinkers who are studying his political thought. In his political thought, Alfarabi emphasized that the main purpose of the state is to make the social-welfare for its citizens. Based on the organic theory, Alfarabi stated that the government of the state is just look-like the human organism system. In which, each of the existing element functioned to strengthen each other to achieve one goal. The ideal state for Alfarabi is the state which is having the goals for its citizen welfare, and who become the prime leader is a philosopher, who is having the prophetic character, having the wider knowledge, and able to communicate with al 'aql al fa’al trough al ‘aql mustafad.
