Experimental measurement and model validation of COD in pipe under bending with off-centered circumferential crack
Authors: Gentile D. , Iannitti G. , Bonora N.
Published: February 2019

The leak area of circumferential through-thickness crack in pipe under bending depends on the position of the crack with respect to the bending plane. In leak-before-break (LBB) analysis, the assumption that the crack is symmetrically placed with respect to the bending plane is not necessarily conservative. In this work, the crack opening of circumferential cracks, off-centered with respect to the bending plane, was investigated experimentally. Here, three pipe geometries and two crack lengths were investigated. For each crack, the centred and two off-centered configuration were examined. The crack opening displacement (COD) distribution along the crack length was measured for two selected bending load levels using digital image correlation (DIC) technique. These measurements have been used for verifying the solution provided by the hodograph cone method (HCM) as proposed by Bonora [1].
Fatigue crack growth under remote and local compression – a state-of-the-art review
Authors: Chahardehi A. , Mehmanparast A.
Published: February 2019

There is an ever increasing need for accurate understanding of the fatigue crack growth behaviour in major engineering materials and components. With the move towards more complex, probabilistic assessments, the traditional ‘safe’ or conservative approach for prediction of fatigue crack growth rate may no longer be attractive. Current codes and standards tend to be ambiguous about the treatment of compressive stress cycles: on the one hand code guidance on fatigue crack initiation may be non-conservative, while assessment of crack propagation may be inconsistently conservative. Where codes are non-conservative they could lead to dangerous assessments. The current paper provides a critical review of state-of-the-art in literature and a study of current code implications.
Crack Propagation by Finite Element Method
Authors: H. Ricardo Luiz Carlos
Published: February 2019

Crack propagation simulation began with the development of the finite element method; the analyses were conducted to obtain a basic understanding of the crack growth. Today structural and materials engineers develop structures and materials properties using this technique. The aim of this paper is to verify the effect of different crack propagation rates in determination of crack opening and closing stress of an ASTM specimen under a standard suspension spectrum loading from FD&E SAE Keyhole Specimen Test Load Histories by finite element analysis. To understand the crack propagation processes under variable amplitude loading, retardation effects are observed.

Published: February 2019

The polypropylene random copolymer (PPR) is a thermoplastic material generally used for the transport of water under pressure, especially hot water. PPR pipes are exposed to severe conditions in terms of pressure and temperature, hence the need to characterize their fracture behavior in order to avoid the design risks. Sudden overpressure is one of the most common problems in piping. It can affect the security of goods and the safety of people. In this context, we have performed tests of overpressures at the laboratory scale according to ASTM D1599 standard, on virgin and notched pipes, to characterize mechanically the fracture behavior of PPR pipes. Afterwards, we identify experimentally the evolution of their damage. The calculation of the damage, by experimental damage models, have led to determine the three stages of evolution of the damage, which are the initiation, the progression and the acceleration of it. Therefore, the concept of reliability is used to specify the critical life fraction relative to the notch depth (βc) of a defect modeled as an external longitudinal groove on the PPR pipe. A comparison of PPR and HDPE pipes damage and reliability has been done. Moreover, a theoretical reassessment of the damage level was done through a judicious adaptation of the theoretical model proposed by the unified theory. From the latter, we proved that theoretical and experimental results show good agreement and correlations.
Experimental characterization of interlaminar fracture toughness of composite laminates assembled with three different carbon fiber lamina
Authors: Gentile Domenico
Published: February 2019

In the present work, the fracture resistance of a carbon fiber composite under mode I and mode II loading have been experimentally determined. For the mode I and II, the energy release rate G has been determinate for each material. In some cases, only a single estimation of G was possible due to problems in the propagation such as extensive fiber bridging and loss of planarity of the running crack. The experimental results relative to DCB tests have been analyzed in order to derive statistical trends. Only the samples for which more than three crack advance data points have been collected are considered in the analysis. The G values are those obtained with the compliance calibration method (CC). For ENF test, determination of critical GII, in addition to the value calculated with the relationship given in the prescription EN6034, other two values, the non linear and visual non linear, are also given. The crack propagation resulted to be unstable for all specimens tested and only a single value of GII could be determined.

Authors: Patil Dr. Pratibha , Patil Dr. Sanjay
Published: February 2019

Poor nutritional status and inadequate food intake during and prior to pregnancy not only affect Women’s health but also have negative impact on growth and development of fetus.  The birth weight of an infant is a powerful predictor of growth and survival of infant and is dependent on maternal health and nutritional status, pre-pregnancy weight and general weight gain are all strongly associated with fetal growth and development. So, improving maternal nutrition prior to conception and during pregnancy are potential strategies to improve birth weight. The Present study has been carried out to discuss the circumstances under which the effect of maternal nutrition on birth weight can be observed, and to determine the specific contributors of calories and protein to birth weight.

Materials and methods: The present study has been carried out at Teaching Medical College and hospital to find out correlation between various factors responsible for maternal weight gain and nutrition with birth weight of baby and to standardize diet chart for pregnant mothers in rural area. The study included 100 women who were followed up from 8 to 10 week of pregnancy till delivery. Anthropometric measurements including maternal weight, height and total weight gain in pregnancy and infant’s birth weight were recorded and all mothers were interviewed for their bio-social variables. Results: The mean birth weight is below 2.4 kg in age <19 years and in 30 years and above, it is >2.5 kg.  The mean birth weight in primipara is 2.4 kg and then it gradually increased maximum up to 2.6 kg in multipara. The mean birth weight in 2.4 kg in mothers below 145cm.Above that till 160 cm there is steady increase in birth weight up to 3.08 kg. The mean birth weight was lowest in cases where maternal weight is below 40 kg and it reached maximum 3 kg in weight group 60-69 kg. The mean birth weight is 2.4 kg in weight gain between 5-9 kg and maximum up to 3 kg in weight gain between 15-19 kg. The mean birth weight is 3.2 kg in high socioeconomic group and 2.2 kg in low socioeconomic group.

Conclusion: There is definite relation between maternal age, parity, height, pre-pregnancy weight, weight gain during pregnancy, socioeconomic status and daily dietary intake per day and birth weight of baby. So health policies should be aimed at early detection and effective management of under nutrition to reduce the burden of low birth weight babies and there is a need to focus attention on better maternal nutrition and education on birth spacing, early pregnancy and family planning.

This study was conducted to characterise the Biology teaching practices in a teacher education institution so as to inform us the existing practices which could then be compared with the aspired practices, uncovering the pedagogical hiatuses. This study employed a form of implementation study using classroom observation. A total of three lessons drawn from a Biology course within the Bachelor of Education (Biology Major) by a lecturer in one Teacher Education Institution were observed over a one-semester period. A psychometrically-supported Observation Checklist comprising 50 items or indicators that spread across six principles was utilised in the observation whereby observers checked in terms of presence or absence of each indicator during the classroom observations. In terms of coverage of aspired teaching practices which met the quartile rule (i.e., practices which were observed more than one-fourth or 25% in the overall observations), the findings indicated that lecturers fully ensured constructive instructional alignment (100%), fostered intellectual excitement (66.7%), provided quality spaces, technology and resources (57.1%), nurtured good values, attitudes and behaviours (45.5%), nurtured a climate of inquiry and critical reflection (42.9%). Nevertheless, the characterised teaching practices indicated that the lecturer did not offer adequate diverse learning environment (20.0%). This study provides the characterisation of evidenced-based practices, uncovering the pedagogical hiatuses which could be subsequently addressed by various means such as the providence of continuous in-service courses. Empowering lecturers pedagogically will produce quality teachers which in turn, produce quality students.

Hypertriglyceridemic pancreatitis: epidemiology, pathophysiology and clinical management
Authors: De Pretis N. , Amodio A. , Frulloni L.
Published: February 2019

Hypertriglyceridemic pancreatitis (HTGP) typically occurs in patients with an underlying dyslipidemia (such as type I, IV or V dyslipidemia) and in the presence of a secondary condition, such as inadequately controlled diabetes, excess alcohol consumption or medication use. Although the symptoms of HTGP are similar to those of acute pancreatitis from other etiologies, HTGP is often associated with greater clinical severity and rate of complications. Therefore, accurate diagnosis of HTGP is essential so that patients receive the appropriate treatment. Novel therapies that aim to reduce the incidence of pancreatitis in this patient population are now available or in development. Understanding the etiology, pathophysiology and clinical characteristics of HTGP will enable future development of therapeutic agents to treat HTGP.
İtaatkârlar Daha Mı Mutlu? “Pozitif Psikoloji Perspektifinden Boyun Eğicilik”
Authors: MAMIROVA Cıldız , YILMAZ Hasan
Published: February 2019

Boyun eğicilik,
bireyin, otoritenin koyduğu kurallara ve verdiği talimatlara uygun davranması,
düşünce ve davranışlarını otoritenin istediği yönde değiştirmesi olarak
tanımlanır. Başkalarını kırmamaya, incitmemeye özen gösterme, çevresindekileri
memnun etmeye çalışma, iyiliksever olmaya eğilimlilik, karşı çıkmaktan çekinme,
onaylamadığı durumları ifade edememe, öfkesini göstermede zorluk, aşırı
onaylanma ihtiyacı, düşünce ve haklarını savunamama, boyun eğici kişiliğe sahip
bireylerin en belirgin özellikleridir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, boyun eğicilik
ile pozitif psikolojinin temel kavramlarından, yaşam doyumu, mental iyi oluş,
iyimserlik ve öznel iyi oluş arasındaki ilişkileri ve boyun eğiciliğin bu
kavramları açıklama gücünü saptamaktır. Araştırmada
ilişkisel tarama yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Örneklem yüzde 68.9’u kadın, 31.1’i
erkek olmak üzere 707 üniversite öğrencilerinden oluşmaktadır. Araştırmanın
sonunda boyun eğiciliğin araştırmanın bağımlı değişkenlerin tamamıyla negatif
ilişkili olduğu saptanmıştır. Boyun eğicilik özelliğinin en fazla öznel iyi
oluş üzerinde olumsuz etki gösterdiği gözlenmiştir. Araştırma bulguları mevcut
literatür bilgileri ışığında tartışılmış ve öneriler geliştirilmiştir.

Bu araştırma sanal
gerçeklik gözlüğü ile işlenen Din Kültürü ve Ahlak Bilgisi dersinin öğretmen
adaylarının din kültürü ve ahlak bilgisi dersine olan tutumlarına etkisini incelemeyi
amaçlamıştır. Bu temel amaç doğrultusunda hem nitel hem de nicel araştırma
yöntemlerinin birlikte ele alındığı karma yöntem kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın
nicel kısmında deneme öncesi (pre-experimental) desenlerden tek gruplu ön-test
– son-test model kullanılmıştır. Bu desen doğrultusunda nicel kısmında sanal
gerçeklik teknolojisi kullanılarak işlenen din kültürü ve ahlak bilgisi
dersinin öğrencilerin din kültürü ve ahlak bilgisi dersine yönelik
tutumlarındaki değişimi incelemek amacıyla Hatay Mustafa Kemal Üniversitesi eğitim
fakültesi sınıf öğretmenliği lisans programında öğrenim gören 32 öğretmen adayı
belirlenmiştir. Gönüllülük esasına göre rastgele seçilen bu katılımcılara uygulama
öncesinde “Din Kültürü ve Ahlak Bilgisi Dersi Tutum Ölçeği” ön-test olarak
uygulanmıştır. Öğretmen adaylarına Din Kültürü ve Ahlak Bilgisi Dersinde 3 saat
süresince Dinlerde Kutsal Mekânlar konusu sanal gerçeklik gözlükleri kullanılarak
işlenmiştir. Uygulama başında öğretmen adaylarına ön-test olarak uygulanan “Din
Kültürü ve Ahlak Bilgisi Dersi Tutum Ölçeği” etkinlik sonrasında son-test
olarak tekrar uygulanmış ve iki ölçmeden elde edilen puanlar arasında bir fark
olup olmadığı incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın nitel kısmında ise öğrencilerle
uygulama sonunda yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme soruları ile görüşmeler yapılarak
nitel veriler toplanmıştır. Araştırmanın kapsamında elde edilen nicel veriler
SPSS 20,0 veri analizi programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Verilere ait öntest ve
sontest puanları arasındaki farklılıkları anlayabilmek adına Bağımlı Gruplar t
Testi analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucuna göre çalışmaya katılan
öğretmen adaylarının din kültürü ve ahlak bilgisi dersi tutum ölçeğinden
aldıkları öntest puanlarıyla son test puanları arasında anlamlı bir farklılık
çıktığı tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca öğretmen adaylarının sanal gerçeklik gözlüğü
ile yapılan dersi çok sevdiği ve derse motive oldukları belirlenmiştir. Son
olarak sanal gerçeklik gözlüklerinin ara vermeden uzun süre kullanımdan sonra bazı
katılımcılarda baş ağrısı, baş dönmesi yorulma gibi belirtilerin ortaya çıktığı

INTRODUCCIÓN. El refuerzo de resinas con fibras naturales es utilizado a nivel mundial y debido a la biodiversidad del Ecuador sus fibras de origen natural supondrían un aporte a la manufactura de partes como materiales compuestos. OBJETIVO. Caracterizar la fibra de mocora como refuerzo de resina poliéster insaturada, determinar las propiedades del material y encontrar la viabilidad de aplicaciones en el área mecánica. MÉTODO. Esta investigación comienza con el levantamiento y documentación de información de la fibra. Caracterización de la fibra tomando medidas, realizando microscopia, SEM, análisis de absorción de humedad, observación de la reacción de la fibra ante la resina, caracterización mecánica del material compuesto, diseñando moldes para probetas y pruebas mecánicas en base a normas ASTM. RESULTADOS. Se demuestra que la fibra tiene distintas longitudes en orientaciones 90º con un recubrimiento, la fibra tiene capas impermeables y surcos internos, tiene una absorción de humedad promedio de 61%, el molde de madera resiste la presión, hay encapsulación de la fibra, pero no tiene mojabilidad con la resina poliéster DISCUSIÓN Y CONCLUSIONES. El molde obtiene probetas sin derramamientos, pero la fibra es inviable como material compuesto bajo las condiciones naturales, sugiriendo futuras investigaciones con tratamientos enzimáticos a la fibra.
