Marine Equipment Directive 96/98/EC
Marine Equipment Directive 96/98/EC (also known as M.E.D. 96/98/EC and often called M.E.D/MED approval or certification in everyday language) is an authorization of equipment and products for Marine industry. It is a Council Directive of 20. December 1996. The MarED Group is handling the co-operation with M.E.D. 96/98/EC.
Initiative of the European Commission[edit]
M.E.D. 96/98/EC is a Council Directive of 20 December 1996 is an initiative of the European Commission (EC) in European Union (EU). EU keep updated lists of legislation.[1] Several countries outside of the EU area automatically approve and accepts products with M.E.D. 96/98/EC authorization. There is a Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA)[2] on Marine Equipment with the United States Coast Guard where both EU and USA will approve of each other's authorized products. A mutual ratification process is being done on continuously basis to the other party's list authorized products.
The MarED database[edit]
The MarED Product Database contains information about authorized equipment to be installed on EU flagged merchant vessels according to the European Marine Equipment Directive. Access to the MarED Database and to the MarED website is available for the public, but limited to registered users only. The registration is free of charge.
The database contains more than 35.000 datasets about products approved under the EU Marine Equipment Directive. Also more than 5.000 datasets about products approved under the Mutual Recognition Agreement with the United States of America.
The intention with the EU Marine Equipment Directive is to reduce costs for the end user by having a simplified model and not having unnecessary expenses by several classification societies or companies to do each their approvals of the same products. A classification society can simply do the classing process by looking up authorized products listed in the MarED database. The classification societies does classifications according to the rules and regulations of the Flag state which rules the classification.

Wave nearing Windward Islands
A well-organized tropical wave 850 miles east of the Windward Islands has not improved in organization this afternoon, but still has the potential to develop into Tropical Depression 17 in the next few days. The wave has a decent surface circulation visible on satellite imagery and QuikSCAT satellite measurements, but deep convection is limited. The wave, located near 9N 48W, is suffering from being too far south and from 10 - 15 knots of wind shear. The disturbance is expected to continue moving west-northwest at 10-15 mph the next few days into a region with less shear. The upper level environment is favorable--an anticyclone has formed on top of it, which should provide very favorable outflow for any deep convection that fires up.
Figure 1. Early track model runs for the disturbance that may turn into Tropical Depression 17.
Blob north of Puerto Rico
A pronounced area of thunderstorms has developed north of Puerto Rico this afternoon, in the base of a large trough of low pressure over the Atlantic. This disturbed area lies in an area of uniform easterly winds that will blow the thunderstorms to the west towards Cuba and the Bahamas. Upper level wind shear is currently high over the disturbance--about 20 knots--but is expected to drop once the disturbance reaches the Bahama Islands on Saturday or Sunday. A tropical depression could form then or early next week when the disturbance crosses into the Gulf of Mexico.
Shear values in general over most of the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean are expected to drop to very low levels favorable for tropical development during the next week, and I think it is likely that we will see a tropical storm in either the Gulf or Caribbean then.
I'm trying to imagine a day when I don't talk about Ophelia moving slowly, but today is not the day. Perhaps tomorrow; the next trough swinging off the East Coast should be able to pick her up and move her out late in the day.
Ophelia is a shell of her former self. The eyewall has disintegrated, and the latest SFMR wind data from the NOAA hurricane hunters shows just a very small area of hurricane force winds over the water. Cooler waters, dry air, and wind shear are all taking their toll on Ophelia, and by the time she races past Cape Cod on Saturday, the worst she will be able to do there is generate wind gusts of 40 mph.
Figure 2. Winds in Ophelia at 12:30pm EDT today measured by the NOAA hurricane hunters.
Storm surge levels observed last night in Bogue Sound, which is the bay between Morehead City and its barrier island, reached seven feet--near the record levels set there from Category 3 Hurricane Hazel in 1954. The storm surge reached 10 feet in some of the smaller creeks in the Neuse River and may have reached 12 feet, a remarkably high storm surge for what was a tropical storm for that area. High storm surges can result from just tropical storm force winds, if they blow over a large area for a really long time, like Ophelia's did.
Figure 3. Storm Surge heights measured in Ophelia.
For those of you who can handle a 1.6Mb animation, the radar loop from Morehead City, NC during the time Ophelia's northern eyewall passed over the city is fascinating. The turbulence created by having part of the eyewall over land and part over water created some smaller vorticies along the inside edge of the eyewall.
While Ophelia did dump it share of heavy rain--around 5 - 7 inches near Wilmington, and over 10 inches around Cape Fear, south of Wilmington--the rain was mostly confined to the coast, and did not cause widespread flooding problems. Ophelia's winds also did relatively light damage--sustained hurricane force winds (74 mph) were only observed at one location, on Cape Lookout near the Outer Banks. The storm surge was what caused the main havoc with Ophelia.

Volume 37, Issue 10, October 1966
Low Temperature System for Thermal Conductivity Measurements37(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1719962View Description Hide Description
Germanium and platinum resistance thermometers are used with two metal Dewars over the temperature range from 1.2 to 300°K. A variable conductance helium exchange gas switch is employed together with automatic heating to maintain any desired temperature within this range. Two coupled potentiometric dc measuring circuits are used—one to measure and control the sample temperature, and the other to measure the temperature gradient. The performance of the system is discussed.
Accurate Resistance Measurement with Smith Bridge37(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1719963View Description Hide Description
A commercial 6 decade Smith bridge has been improved by elimination of several types of disturbances. It is now possible to differentiate between temperatures which are less than 1.5×10−5°C apart.
Diffused Semiconductor Low Temperature Thermometers37(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1719964View Description Hide Description
It is known that thermometers of good sensitivity and excellent reproducibility for low temperatures can be based on the temperature dependence of extrinsic electrical conductivity in a semiconductor. Uniformly dopedgermanium single crystals are customarily used for this purpose; however, the present paper reports on the performance of experimental semiconductorthermometers made by diffusion techniques. Thermometer elements were made both by diffusion of arsenic into germanium, and by diffusion of boron into silicon. For both of these systems, the conductance‐temperature characteristic of a diffused layer was qualitatively similar to the conductivity‐temperature characteristic of a uniformly dopedthermometer bar. However, diffused thermometers suffered appreciable changes of resistance on thermal cycling, to an extent corresponding with temperature errors as large as 0.1° at 4.2°K. This compares unfavorably with the submillidegree reproducibility attainable with uniformly doped bridge shaped bars. Attempts to improve the stability of diffused layers are discussed.
Automatic Double Probe Method of Obtaining Electron Temperatures37(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1719965View Description Hide Description
An instrument used for continuously determining electron temperature in an ion engine exhaust is described. The ratio of measured currents at specified regions of the double probe characteristic is computed to yield a good approximation of electron temperature for conditions in which the ion sheath buildup is small.
Determination of Plasma Potentials and Ion Energies by Ion Extraction and Energy Analysis37(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1719966View Description Hide Description
This paper describes the theory and operation of a new diagnostic tool for the extraction of ions from the main body of a confined plasma. The device, a magnetically shielding tube used in conjunction with an electrostatic energy analyzer and secondary electrondetector, can be used for measuring ion energy distributions, plasma potential, and energy dependence of plasma ion lifetimes. Shielding properties and limitations of the device are also discussed.
Versatile High Pressure Mössbauer Apparatus37(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1719967View Description Hide Description
An apparatus has been developed which permits high pressure Mössbauer resonance studies to 300 kbar. It can be operated with either the source or the absorber under pressure. The pressures are established by x‐ray diffraction measurements, and calibration curves are presented for both the supported taper and Bridgman anvils cells. A motion device involving magnets and phosphor bronze springs, with an adjustable mount, is described. Circuits necessary to control the motion, and to distribute the signals from two devices operating in parallel, are outlined.
Digital Recording of Spectra. Conversion of Perkin‐Elmer Model 521 Infrared Spectrometer37(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1719968View Description Hide Description
A double beam, optical null infrared spectrometer has been adapted for digital recording without interfering with the normal operating modes of the instrument. A photoelectric dial reader operates a solid state switching circuit at each calibration mark of the wave number dial to cause a digital voltmeter to read the voltage across the linear transmittance slidewire of the spectrometer, while the spectrometer operates in the absorbance recording mode. The digital voltmeter operates a paper tape punch, permitting computer processing of the spectra.
Ionization Gauge for Transient Gas Pressure Measurements37(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1719969View Description Hide Description
A gauge has been developed that is particularly suited for measuring transient gas pressures (e.g., gas bursts expanding in vacuum). A commercial subminiature pentode has been used in a suitable circuit for this purpose. Calibration curves for helium, nitrogen, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon at room temperature are given in the 1 to 400 μ Hg range. The features of this gauge are its small size, short risetime, and simple construction and installation. The serious disadvantage is its short lifetime, about 3 weeks of continuous use, mainly due to filament failure.
Thin Film Magnetoresistance Magnetometer37(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1719970View Description Hide Description
A thin film alloy of Ni‐Fe‐Co is etched such that it resembles electrically a Wheatstone bridge except that the arms of the bridge are magnetoresistive. The resistance of one arm increases and the other decreases when in the presence of a magnetic field. The primary feature of this magnetometer is its fast response time. Tests have shown that it has a flat response to alternating magnetic fields with frequencies as high as 65 MHz which was the limit of our test equipment. We have reason to believe that our present system will measure pulses with risetimes as fast as 4 nsec with less than 5% error.
Method for Studying Sputtered Particles by Emission Spectroscopy37(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1719971View Description Hide Description
An f/6.8 scanning spectrometer with a photomultiplier output was used to monitor the presence of particles sputtered from a target surface by ion bombardment. The ion source was a conventional duoplasmatron providing a high density, high energyion beam. The density of sputtered particles available for analysis was of the order of 108 cm−3. A fraction of these particles was electronically excited by a high density, low energy electron beam, and the emission spectra characteristic of the target material were recorded with either an electrometer or a phase sensitive detector. Some intense atomic copper lines were easily observed when a Cu target was bombarded with 5000 eV Ar+ ions. The intensities of these lines have been analyzed to obtain the sputtering yield and some relative excitation functions for copper. A comparison between the conventional mass spectrometric technique and the present scheme is presented.
Use of Conformal Mapping to Improve Field Uniformity of Electromagnet37(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1719972View Description Hide Description
Conformal mapping is used to determine the cross section of a shim in order to improve the uniformity of the field in the air gap of a magnet. Experimental measurements on a laboratory electromagnet demonstrate the improvement in field uniformity.
Use of Probes to Measure Static Potential in High Vacuum Electron Devices37(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1719973View Description Hide Description
Design factors are considered for the use of emitting and nonemitting metallic probes for measuring static potential in electron streams. Both unneutralized streams and those neutralized by positive ions in a field free drift space are considered. Experimental results are given for potential measurements in a cylindrical diode and in a beam type tube. Good agreement with theory is found for the radial potential distribution in the diode using either probe. The emitting probe gives best results but is more complex in construction and circuitry. Qualitative agreement with theory is found for axial and radial potential distribution in a neutralized cylindrical electron beam.
High Pressure 3He Gas Scintillation Neutron Detector37(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1719974View Description Hide Description
Construction details are given for a He gas scintillation neutrondetector which operates to 238 atm at room temperature. A bakeable pressure‐vacuum manifold, on which the detector is evacuated and filled, also serves to remove contaminants from the DPS waveshifter. The detector appears stable when permanently sealed off. Curves are given for light output vs pressure, and some effects of impurities on such curves are noted. Measurements were made of relative sensitivity to 60Co gammas and Pu‐Be neutrons. The gamma flux required to induce a current equal to that from 1 neutron/cm2 sec is 15 MeV/cm2 sec when the scintillating gas is 4He, and 23 MeV/cm2 sec when it is 3He.
Spark Chamber for Gamma‐Ray Astronomy37(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1719975View Description Hide Description
A spark chamber system is described which is designed to detect γ rays in the cosmicradiation on high altitude balloon flights. It has (1) an acceptance cone of 30° half angle; (2) time resolution of 150 msec; (3) energy resolution from 30 to 500 MeV; and for a 100 MeV γ ray, (4) a conversion efficiency of 12.4%, and (5) angular resolution of 3°. Events are recorded photographically. The system is triggered by a large scintillator above the chamber in anticoincidence with a scintillator‐Čerenkov telescope beneath. Only the chamber and high voltage components are pressurized. A magnetometer direction monitor locates the γ ray direction to ±3° in right ascension and declination. The system has operated successfully on day and night flights and has a total weight of 80 kg.
Apparatus for Thin Sample Ultrasonic Measurements37(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1719976View Description Hide Description
A detailed description is given of an apparatus which makes possible the propagation of ultrasonic pulses through very thin solid samples (foils, films, fine wires, whiskers, etc.). The apparatus includes means for mounting the sample, independent transducer supports, and means for bringing sample and transducer into nondestructive contact. Several sample holding devices and micromanipulator adaptations are described. The over‐all measurement system is briefly described together with a few typical results for metal foil and fine wire specimens. Some applications of the apparatus are listed.
Method for Rapidly Reversing Magnetic Field in Shorted Superconducting Coil37(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1719977View Description Hide Description
A shorted superconducting coil carrying a persistent current can be made to reverse its field in less than 5 msec by subjecting the coil to an increasing external reverse field. The superconducting coil opposes a change in its interior field until its critical current is exceeded, whereupon rapid extinction of the persistent current occurs thus admitting the external field.
Automatic Unit for Thinning Transmission Electron Microscopy Specimens of Metals37(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1719978View Description Hide Description
A specimen holder and a polishing unit with an automatic shutoff were designed for thinning disks taken from preselected areas of large metallic specimens or from specimens with small cross sectional areas. Since the disk precisely fits the specimen holder of the microscope, a supporting grid is unnecessary and deformation from cutting and handling after thinning is eliminated. The automatic shutoff device greatly improves conditions for transmission by stopping the polishing current at the optimum time.
E×B Energy Analyzer for Electrons37(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1719979View Description Hide Description
A simple electron energy analyzer has been used to measure energy distribution functions of the ``hot electronplasma'' produced in a compression mirror machine. The analyzer is located in a region of a steady 1.2 kG field so that electrons which escape from the 23 kG mirror field have most of their transverse energy transformed into the parallel component. This parallel component of energy is determined by the transverse drift in a region of mutually perpendicular electric and magnetic fields; low velocity electrons drift farther as they spend more time in the E×B field region, and vice versa. Electrons are detected by being accelerated onto a plastic scintillator which is viewed through a light pipe by a photomultiplier. Good time resolution is obtained, but since only one narrow energy band can be observed on each shot, the electric field is varied between shots to measure the complete energy spectrum. The magnetic field of the analyzer joins smoothly with the plasma containment magnetic field so that the electrons do not pass through a zero field region. With the 1.2 kG field, the analyzer works well for electron energies up to 20 keV; at higher energies the energy resolution decreases, and at very low energies (<100 eV) secondary electrons cause difficulties.
Arc‐Image Stagnation‐Flow Reactor for Measuring Kinetics of Gas‐Solid Reactions from 2000 to 3000°K37(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1719980View Description Hide Description
An arc‐image stagnation‐flow reactor has been developed to study the rates of gas‐solid reactions between 2000 and 3000°K. Most refractory solids can be heated in this reactor to their melting points in a partial atmosphere of almost any gas except strong oxidizers such as fluorine. The standard deviation of a datum point, in the case of oxidation of tungsten by CO2 at 100 Torr, is 6% at 2500°K, corresponding to a temperature uncertainty of ±9°K.
Simple High Speed Framing Cameras37(1966); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1719981View Description Hide Description
J. Wadsworth and F. E. Stokes recently described a simple high speed camera. They formed an array of images using crossed rods of glass to form an array of small cameralenses, and each lens of this array formed a separate frame. They exposed successive frames by rotating a Nipkow disk in front of the crossed glass rods. Some years ago, I made some high speed cameras working on similar principles, but using lenticular plates as the array of cameralenses. Sequential operation could be by Nipkow disk or by control of the light sources, which could be an array of sparks, or more simply, the moving spot of a cathode ray tube. Rates of recording were in the range 105 to 106 pictures per second. The cameras are very simple and of low cost. They allow one to record long sequences of pictures. Picture quality was low but there is a reasonable prospect of improvement.

Parents Enraged by H.S. Sex Education Curriculum Taught by Planned ParenthoodWritten by Raven Clabough
A high school in Northern California is under fire for vastly overstepping boundaries in its sex education curriculum. A children's sex education class at Acalanes High School in Lafayette is being taught by employees of Planned Parenthood, and the content of the lessons and the materials being utilized are highly controversial.
Class Dismissed, a new full-length documentary film about homeschooling, was screened in the Boston area on December 1, having already been seen by sold-out audiences in November on the West Coast (L.A., San Francisco, Seattle, and Portland). It explores the rapidly growing homeschool movement — its challenges and great successes.

Futility and HelplessnessYou don't know; you don't know anything,

She wants to breathe in sea-salt,
Waiting for water to waste her,
Weighing down as she walks.
But she makes it chlorine's fault,
Maybe she'll sleep faster in this salt.
Drenched air stains her pale
As she steps down, choking.
Empty FriendsEmpty friends are trying to tear off my face
Thought black cords were trying to phone my place
Take me away from your time, they said
Ringing voices that are telling me I'm dead
Empty friends will dream until I sleep
I told you not to push me
I told you not to save me
But now I'm on a bullet train
(I'm going down)
I told you not to push me
I told you not to save me
But now I'm on a bullet train
And I'm going down
Empty friends are furious as the sea
Made rivers undertake my eyes in three (two one..)
I've met you beneath the burning skies
Empty friends are making me swim and defy
Raging sails cut by water so

text: etd@IISc Collection: http://hdl.handle.net/2005/33 2016-01-28T14:05:11Z Lower Bound Limit Analysis Applications For Solving Planar Stability Problems In Geomechanics http://hdl.handle.net/2005/2377 Title: Lower Bound Limit Analysis Applications For Solving Planar Stability Problems In Geomechanics Authors: Bhattacharya, Paramita Abstract: Limit analysis based upon the theory of plasticity is one of the very useful numerical techniques to determine the failure loads of different civil and mechanical engineering structures for a material following an associated flow rule. The limiting values of the collapse loads, namely, lower and upper bounds, can be bracketed quite accurately with the application of the lower and upper bound theorems of the limit analysis. With the advancement of the finite elements and different robust optimization techniques, the numerical limit analysis approach in association with finite elements is becoming very popular to assess the stability of various complicated structures. Although two different optimization methods, namely, linear programming and nonlinear programming, have been both successfully implemented by various researchers for solving different stability problems in geomechanics, the linear programming method is employed in the present thesis due to its inherent advantage in implementation and ease in achieving the convergence. The objectives of the present thesis are (i) to improve upon the existing lower bound limit analysis method, in combination with finite elements and linear programming, with an intention of reducing the computational time and the associated memory requirement, and (ii) to apply the existing lower bound finite element limit analysis to various important planar stability problems in geotechnical engineering. With reference to the first objective of the thesis, two new methods have been introduced in this thesis to improve upon the existing computational procedure while solving the geomechanics stability problem with the usage of the limit analysis, finite elements and linear programming. In the first method, namely, the method-I, the order of the yield polygon within the chosen domain is varied, based on the proximity of the stress state to the yield, such that a higher order polygon needs not to be used everywhere in the problem domain. In the second method, the method-II, it has been intended to use only a few selected sides, but not all, of the higher order yield polygon which are being used to linearize the Mohr-Coulomb yield function. The proposed two methods have been applied to compute the ultimate bearing capacity of smooth as well as rough strip footings for various soil frictional angles. It has been noticed that both the proposed new methods reduce the CPU time and the total number of inequality constraints required as compared to the existing lower bound linear programming method used in literature. With reference to the second objective, a few important planar stability problems in geomechanics associated with interference of footings and vertical anchors have been solved in the present thesis. Footings are essentially used to transfer the compressive loads of the super structures to underlying soil media. On the other hand, vertical anchors are used for generating passive supports to retaining walls, sheet piles and bulkheads. A large number of research investigations have been reported in literature to compute the collapse load for a single isolated strip footing and a single vertical anchor. It is a common practice to estimate the bearing capacity of footings or pullout capacity of anchors without considering the effect of interference. There are, however, clear evidences from the available literature that (i) the ultimate bearing capacity of footings, and (ii) the ultimate pullout capacity of anchors, are significantly affected by their interference effect. Based on different available methods, the interference of footings, in a group of two footings as well as an infinite number of multiple footings, has been examined by different researchers in order to compute the ultimate bearing capacity considering the group effect. However, there is no research study to find the ultimate bearing capacity of interfering footings with the usage of the lower bound limit analysis. In the present thesis, the ultimate bearing capacity of two and an infinite number of multiple strip footings placed on sandy soil with horizontal ground surface, has been determined. The analysis has been performed for smooth as well as rough footings. The failure loads for interfering footings are found to be always greater than the single isolated footing. The effect of the footings' interference is expressed in terms of an efficiency factor ( ξγ); where, ξγ is defined as the ratio of the magnitude of failure load for a footing of width B in presence of the other footing to the magnitude of failure load of an isolated strip footing having the same width. The effect of the interference on the failure load (i) for rough footings becomes always greater than smooth footings, (ii) increases with an increase in soil frictional angle φ, and (iii) becomes almost negligible beyond the spacing, S > 3B. It is observed that the failure load for a footing in a group of an infinite number of multiple strip footings becomes always greater than that for two interfering footings. Attempts have been made in this thesis to investigate the group effect of two vertical anchors on their horizontal pullout resistance (PuT). The anchors are considered to be embedded at a certain clear spacing (S) along the same vertical plane. The group effect has been studied separately for anchors embedded in (i) sandy soil, and (ii) undrained clay, respectively. For anchors embedded in clays, an increase of soil cohesion with depth, in a linear fashion, has also been taken into consideration. The magnitude of PuT has been obtained in terms of a group efficiency factor, ηγ for sand and ηc for clay, with respect to the failure load for a single isolated vertical plate with the same H/B. The pullout capacity of a group of two anchors either in sand or in undrained clay becomes quite extensive as compared to a single isolated anchor. The magnitudes of ηγ and ηc become maximum corresponding to a certain critical value of S/B, which has been found to lie generally between 0.5 and 1. The value of ηγ for a given S/B has been found to become larger for greater values of H/B, φ, and δ. For greater values of H/B, the group effect becomes more significant in contributing the pullout resistance. The horizontal pullout capacity of a single isolated vertical anchor embedded in sand in the presence of pseudo static horizontal earthquake body forces has also been determined by using the lower bound finite element limit analysis. The variation of the pullout factor Fγ with changes in the embedment ratio of the smooth and rough anchor plates for different values of horizontal earthquake acceleration coefficient ( αh) has been investigated. The analysis clearly reveals that the pullout resistance decreases quite significantly with an increase in the magnitude of the earthquake acceleration coefficient. For the various problems selected in the present thesis, the failure patterns have also been exclusively drawn in order to understand the development of the plastic zones within the chosen domain for solving a given problem. The results obtained from the analysis, for the various problems taken up in this thesis, have been thoroughly compared with those reported in literature. 2014-09-03T18:30:00Z Studies On Fatigue Crack Propagation In Cementitious Materials : A Dimensional Analysis Approach http://hdl.handle.net/2005/2371 Title: Studies On Fatigue Crack Propagation In Cementitious Materials : A Dimensional Analysis Approach Authors: Ray, Sonalisa Abstract: Crack propagation in structures when subjected to fatigue loading, follows three different phases namely - short crack growth, stable crack growth and unstable crack growth. Accurate fatigue life prediction demands the consideration of every crack propagation phase rather than only the stable crack growth stage. Further, the use of existing crack growth laws in structures with small cracks under-predicts the growth rate compared to experimentally observed ones, thereby leading to an unsafe design and keeping the structure in a potentially dangerous state. In the present work, an attempt is made to establish fatigue crack propagation laws for plain concrete, reinforced concrete and concrete-concrete jointed interfaces from first principles using the concepts of dimensional analysis and self-similarity. Different crack growth laws are proposed to understand the behavior in each of the three regimes of the fatigue crack growth curve. Important crack growth characterizing material and geometrical parameters for each zone are included in the proposed analytical models. In real life applications to structures, the amplitude of cyclic loading rarely remains constant and is subjected to a wide spectrum of load amplitudes. Furthermore, the crack growth behavior changes in the presence of high amplitude load spikes within a constant amplitude history and this is incorporated in the model formulation. Using scaling laws, an improved understanding of the scaling behavior on different parameters is achieved. The models describing different regimes of crack propagation are finally unified to obtain the entire crack growth curve and compute the total fatigue life. In addition, crack growth analysis is performed for a reinforced concrete member by modifying the model derived for plain concrete in the Paris regime. Energy dissipation occurring due to shake-down phenomenon in steel reinforcement is addressed. The bond-slip mechanism which is of serious concern in reinforced concrete members is included in the study and a method is proposed for the prediction of residual moment carrying capacity as a function of relative crack depth. The application of the proposed analytical model in the computation of fatigue crack growth is demonstrated on three practical problems – beam in flexure, concrete arch bridge and a patch repaired beam. Through a sensitivity study, the influence of different parameters on the crack growth behavior is highlighted. 2014-08-18T18:30:00Z Numerical Methods For Solving The Eigenvalue Problem Involved In The Karhunen-Loeve Decomposition http://hdl.handle.net/2005/2308 Title: Numerical Methods For Solving The Eigenvalue Problem Involved In The Karhunen-Loeve Decomposition Authors: Choudhary, Shalu Abstract: In structural analysis and design it is important to consider the effects of uncertainties in loading and material properties in a rational way. Uncertainty in material properties such as heterogeneity in elastic and mass properties can be modeled as a random field. For computational purpose, it is essential to discretize and represent the random field. For a field with known second order statistics, such a representation can be achieved by Karhunen-Lo`eve (KL) expansion. Accordingly, the random field is represented in a truncated series expansion using a few eigenvalues and associated eigenfunctions of the covariance function, and corresponding random coefficients. The eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the covariance kernel are obtained by solving a second order Fredholm integral equation. A closed-form solution for the integral equation, especially for arbitrary domains, may not always be available. Therefore an approximate solution is sought. While finding an approximate solution, it is important to consider both accuracy of the solution and the cost of computing the solution. This work is focused on exploring a few numerical methods for estimating the solution of this integral equation. Three different methods:(i)using finite element bases(Method1),(ii) mid-point approximation(Method2), and(iii)by the Nystr¨om method(Method3), are implemented and numerically studied. The methods and results are compared in terms of accuracy, computational cost, and difficulty of implementation. In the first method an eigenfunction is first represented in a linear combination of a set of finite element bases. The resulting error in the integral equation is then minimized in the Galerkinsense, which results in a generalized matrix eigenvalue problem. In the second method, the domain is partitioned into a finite number of subdomains. The covariance function is discretized by approximating its value over each subdomain locally, and thereby the integral equation is transformed to a matrix eigenvalue problem. In the third method the Fredholm integral equation is approximated by a quadrature rule, which also results in a matrix eigenvalue problem. The methods and results are compared in terms of accuracy, computational cost, and difficulty of implementation. The first part of the numerical study involves comparing these three methods. This numerical study is first done in one dimensional domain. Then for study in two dimensions a simple rectangular domain(referred toasDomain1)is taken with an uncertain material property modeled as a Gaussian random field. For the chosen covariance model and domain, the analytical solutions are known, which allows verifying the accuracy of the numerical solutions. There by these three numerical methods are studied and are compared for a chosen target accuracy and different correlation lengths of the random field. It was observed that Method 2 and Method 3 are much faster than the Method 1. On the other hand, for Method 2 and 3, additional cost for discretizing the domain into nodes should be considered whereas for a mechanics-related problem, Method 1 can use the available finite element mesh used for solving the mechanics problem. The second part of the work focuses on studying on the effect of the geometry of the model on realizations of the random field. The objective of the study is to see the possibility of generating the random field for a complicated domain from the KL expansion for a simpler domain. For this purpose, two KL decompositions are obtained: one on the Domain1, and another on the same rectangular domain modified with a rectangular hole (referredtoasDomain2) inside it. The random process is generated and realizations are compared. It was observed from the studies that probability density functions at the nodes on both the domains, that is, on Domain 1 and Domain 2, are similar. This observation leads to a possibility that a complicated domain can be replaced by a corresponding simpler domain, thereby reducing the computational cost. 2014-05-04T18:30:00Z Behaviour Of FRP Strengthened Masonry In Compression And Shear http://hdl.handle.net/2005/2292 Title: Behaviour Of FRP Strengthened Masonry In Compression And Shear Authors: Pavan, G S Abstract: Masonry structures constitute a significant portion of building stock worldwide. Seismic performance of unreinforced masonry has been far from satisfactory. Masonry is purported to be a major source of hazard during earthquakes by reconnaissance surveys conducted aftermath of an earthquake. Reasons for the poor performance of masonry structures are more than one namely lack of deformational capacity, poor tensile strength & lack of earthquake resistance features coupled with poor quality control and large variation in strength of materials employed. Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP) composites have emerged as an efficient strengthening technique for reinforced concrete structures over the past two decades. Present thesis is focused towards analysing the behaviour of Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP) strengthened masonry under axial compression and in-plane shear loading. Determination of in-planes hear resistance of large masonry panels requires tremendous effort in terms of cost, labour and time. Masonry assemblages like prisms and triplets that represent the state of stress present in masonry walls and masonry in-fills when under the action of in-planes hear forces present an alternative option for research and analysis purposes. Hence, present research is focused towards analysing the performance of FRP strengthened masonry assemblages and unreinforced masonry assemblages. Chapter1 provides a brief review on the behaviour of masonry shear walls and masonry in-fills under the action of in-plane shear forces in addition to the performance of masonry structures during past earthquakes. Review of available literature on FRP confinement of masonry prisms with bed joints inclined from 00 to 900 to the loading axis under axial compression, analytical models available for FRP confined concrete, shear strength of masonry triplets attached with FRP is presented. Chapter 2 primarily focuses on determining the various properties of the materials involved in this research investigation. Test procedure and results of the tests conducted to determine the mechanical and related properties of the materials involved are presented. Elastic properties and stress-strain response of burnt clay brick, mortar and FRP laminates are presented. Studies conducted on behaviour of GFRP confined masonry prisms under monotonic axial compression are included in Chapter 3. The study comprised of testing masonry prisms, both unconfined and FRP confined masonry prisms under axial compression. Stretcher bond and English bond prisms, with bed joints normal and parallel to loading axis are included in this study. Two grades of GFRP,360g/m2 and 600 g/m2 are employed to confine masonry prisms. The experimental program involved masonry prism types that accounted for variations in masonry bonding pattern, bed joint inclination to the loading axis and grade of GFRP. Review of the available analytical models predicting compressive strength of FRP confined masonry prism is presented. Available models for FRP confinement of masonry are re-calibrated using the present experimental data generating new coefficients for the already existing model to develop new expression for predicting the compressive strength of FRP confined prisms. In addition to the prism types mentioned earlier, behaviour of unconfined and GFRP confined stretcher bond prisms with bed joints inclined at 300, 450 & 600 to the loading axis are further investigated. Chapter 4 primarily deals with the shear strength and deformational capacity of masonry triplets that represent joint shear failure in masonry. An experimental program involving masonry triplets attached with different types of FRP(GFRP and CFRP), grade of FRP, percentage area covered by FRP and reinforcement pattern is executed. This exercise determined the influence of these parameters over the enhancement achieved in terms of shear strength and ultimate displacement. Results of tests conducted on stretcher bond prisms presented in chapter 3 and results of tests on shear triplets presented in this chapter are combined to study the interaction between shear and normal stresses acting along the masonry bed joint at different angles of inclination. The thesis culminated with chapter 5 as concluding remarks highlighting the salient Information pertaining to the behaviour of FRP strengthened masonry under axial compression and in-plane shear loading obtained as an outcome of the research conducted as a part of this thesis. 2014-04-07T18:30:00Z

It was, and is unlikely the Rams draft lowerthan 3rd, even with a Washington win, and right now, my predicted finish has them just ahead of the jags, Cleveland, and Oakland if they all tie at 4-12.
The Jags were ahead of the Rams, but the Indy win over KC added one win to their previously predicted opponent win number, and subtracted one from the Rams
There are a couple games left this week, and the GB- Pitt and Det-NYG games could hurt the Redskins number, and make it a dead heart headed to week 17, with only one or two games mattering as far as the tiebreaker.
That's because most of the game are inter division, or between teams where Oakland, the Jags, Washington, and Cleveland played both, making whichever team wins make no difference in that final tiebreaker opponent win total.
Right now, my predicted win totals, with ties counting as 1/2, has the Redskins at 128 opponent wins after the season, Jacksonville with 130, Oaklnd with 130 and Cleveland with 131. IF the Redskins win the last game to tie t hose others.

My name is Mica Angela Hendricks. I'm a graphic artist for MWR and a freelance illustrator. Several months ago, a blog post I did about allowing my daughter to illustrate with me went viral online, and has added a fun element to my own artwork.
For years, I labored under the idea that to be a "fine artist" you had to use "fine art" supplies. But try as I might graphite never fit well on me, and my paintings in plain acrylic just always felt like they were missing something.
One of my favorite things has always been drawing in a sketchbook. I've drawn since I was younger, and always had a sketchbook in my hand. Sketchbooks were portable and easy to carry. And for sheer practicality (pencils smudge too much for me), I have always loved drawing in ballpoint pen. Yes, plain ol' ballpoint pen.
My daughter loves the story of Frida Kahlo. Her aunt & uncle sent her a Frida shirt and she has a children's book on Frida. She loved that Frida was an artist like her. It may not be the "finest" of processes, but I'll walk you through how my daughter and I doodled a Frida portrait together:
I always start the process by sketching a portrait in ballpoint pen. It's my favorite medium for sketching. I like working on natural-colored (tan) paper; it seems to add more depth to the shading.
Next, I let our daughter add on to the piece. This (as I described in my blog post) is always one of the most frustrating but wonderful parts. Allowing a kid to add on to something you've created can be quite intimidating. What if she messes it up? What if she scribbles it? To help not stress too much, I don't add TOO much to my initial drawing. Just the basics, so if she decides to get too crazy with the doodle and I can't make sense of it, I didn't invest too much time into it. Bust mostly, she is pretty good about being excited to make it a fun and beautiful piece.
I usually go back and add a little detail when she's done.
When we first started our collaborative doodles, I used a variety of plain Sharpie markers or colored scrap-booking markers on top of the ballpoint pen sketch, but when Jerry's sent me the Prismacolor Premier Brush Tip set of 200 markers, I was in color heaven.
I start by adding a base layer of color. The ballpoint pen reacts in a strange way, usually, and gets a purplish tint, but tends up blending it a little better later in the process.
There are SO many different subtle shades in the Prismacolor market set that you can blend the colors smoothly, and they allow for a lot of error and play. There's even a colorless blending marker to help with the edging. Having such a wide amount of shades and tints in the markers allows for wonderful color options in the project, and the brush tips are so much like painting with a paintbrush. They're amazingly fun to work with, and very forgiving. You don't have to be so delicate with the colors, and can always blend another color on top to give it another dimension. I also like to keep a scrap piece of paper next to my drawing to do a quick color swatch, to make sure the color is what I'm looking for.
After I lay the basic color blocking out in Prismacolor Premier markers, I like to add highlights in acrylic. It just gives it an extra dimension, and really builds up the shape.
And here is the final collaborative piece by my 4-year old daughter and me-"Frida with Paintbrushes."
Overall, aside from the foundation layer of ballpoint pen, Prismacolor Premier Brush Tip markers are by far one of my favorite mediums to work with. I love the feel of "painting" with them, and the variety of colors make them amazingly fun to use....Now, if I could just keep my daughter away from them...

With a brand new paint job, the Babolat Pure Storm GT Tour Plus Tennis Racquet is another great tour racquet addition to the Pure Storm line. The racquet has GT technology which provides added strength and stability to the frame, replacing the old Carbon XTrem material. The Woofer technology on the sides of the racquet allows the strings to move, creating a trampoline effect that prolongs the ball dwell time for increased control and less shock. The Babolat Pure Storm GT Tour Plus stays true to the Pure Storm line with an open 16x20 string pattern and a 98 square inch head size, which allows for a plenty of control and spin with a solid response.
The Babolat Pure Storm GT Tour Plus Tennis Racquet will appeal to players who want the heft of most advanced racquets but aren't willing to drop down to a midsize head. The frame will appeal to fans of the midplus starving for a little more weight and reach. The racquet is recommended for strong intermediate to advanced tennis players (4.0+ NTRP). Similar to the standard Pure Storm GT Tour, the Plus version has an extra half inch on the racquet length for players wanting a bit more reach and pop. Players will find the extended length helpful on leveraging serves thought some maneuverability is sacrificed. If your like the specs but prefer the standard length version, then check out the Babolat Pure Storm GT Tour Tennis Racquet, and demo one soon!
Note: This racquet comes with a cover

Too Bad babolat stopped making this..
User: Joel Carraway , Florida
Tried playing with a few different rackets and develop arm pain. This racket seems to get rid of the arm pain. Also it has lots of power,spin and feel. Great racket, sorry to see it go the way of the dodo.
Son loves it
User: Michel loutchaninoff, Tx
Great frame, son loves the solid feel and xtra pop from the xtra .5 length.
loving it
User: Justin Jackson, nj
I have been hitting with this racquet for about a month and a half and I love it I just got my second obe and going to get a third one I love the playability as well that its not a heavy racquet. ..I love how it plays...
User: Steven Jacobsen, PA
Alright, this racquet is straight up rocking. It is my racquet from the R to the T haha. Anyway, I played with a lot of racquets before this, I had HEAD Youtek SPEED MP and Pr, along with Prestige racquets, I have also played with the 100 Sqin pro staff that recently was released by Wilson. Anyway this string pattern is awesome for creating spin, I feel a lot safer taking a bigger cut at the ball and that I can keep the ball in. I can rip my serves as well, and if feels completely amazing. The weight is a beautiful thing, the extra length is very helpful for a short guy like me. So in the long run this racquet is going to be used for me by a long time. This is DEFINITELY a MUST try if you are looking for some extra spin and pop in your racquet. I am a Babolat player all the way in now.
Babolat pure storm tour gt plus
User: Ben Lam, Ontario
Nice feel and control off the racquet. Extra this heavier racquet is stable off of fast balls. Sweet spot is a bit smaller than 100 square inch racquets. Extra length gives a little more power on the serve. It is alittle hard on the arm if you have elbow issues. overall the racquet performs well.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. ~Hebrews 12:1 NIV
In order to run or contend in our race toward eternity with Jesus, scripture admonishes us to "throw off":
- All things which hinders focus on our mark;
- Entangling sin(s)
While sin seems clear enough, as Christians we often disregard the "everyday" things in our lives which have become sin. Hindrances are also described as "weights," such as family problems, financial difficulties and the like. However, tipping the scales to the opposite side, wealth and fleshly indulgences can be weights-hindrances.
In Ray & Anne Ortlund's book, Lord, Make My Life a Miracle, Ray writes:
Your danger and mine is not that we become criminals, but rather, that we become respectable, decent, commonplace, mediocre Christians…The twenty-first-century temptations that really sap our spiritual power are the television, banana cream pie, the easy chair, and the credit card. Christian, you will win or lose in those seemingly innocent little moments of decision.1
This leads me to consider carefully when choosing my top priorities in life. Things we cherish most, generally, become our focus. Or weight. Sin.
How about you? Are there things in your life you could throw off of your top ten favorites? Or add? I certainly know there are in mine.

in response to Xian Rinpoche Solved
Tme machine is not dependent on the user.. it is local machine with specific access to backup the whole drive including all users.. but even the early TC will block two users access to the disk at the same time on the same computer.. I think you can access the TC disk from two different computers. I do not know exactly why the limitation was set but it is there for sure..
The 6th Gen AE does change the scenario for TM being able to backup to external drive plugged in.
My understanding was that the 6th-gen Airport Extreme could take the place of a Time Capsule. Is this not the case? How is the way an Airport Extreme treats a network drive different from the way the TIme Capsule did? Is there just some setting somewhere I've missed?
I have seen nothing to suggest the AE should behave any different to the TC.. but it will depend on the security access you have set to the drive.. what is the AE set to?? (what was your old TC set to??)
I don't have a Gen6 so I am not sure what is possible.. but normally security is set at 3 or 4 levels.. guest access read and write.. most open.. least security.. to user accounts where access is limited to specific users with account details on the TC.. this is the most secure.. with AE password and disk password as in between levels.

in response to LaPastenague
Thanks for the response. It sounds like the behavior I'm experiencig (especially accessing a network share from two accounts on the same machine) is by design. For the time being, I've moved back to a local TM backup and will just use the Airport USB port for a basic network share that won't require multiple user access at the same time. I may return to this topic at a later date, but as of right now, your answer solves the problem for me.

New hard drives need to have a partition assigned, then formatted. You can use the Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Disk Management or whatever software came with the new hard drive to do that. Once that's done, you should be able to assign drive letter C: to the new drive and run the recovery discs, assuming everything else on the laptop is OK.
Good luck.
I have a lap top acer aspire 5736z with a wd hard disk ref wd3200bpvt
The computer suffered a total and sudden failure and after that it was impossible to reboot. When I run the recovery disk I receive a message indicating hardware problem "no i/o device found etc". The bios shows the HDD is present. I have installed another (new) hard disk and receive exactly the same failure during the windows recovery.
I am now faced with the decision whether to spend money on repair or give up and buy another laptop!
Any ideas of where to go from here?
Do I need to format the new hdd or is this automatically?
I have another acer aspire 5736z - if all fails can I use the hdd as a slave in this model?

WASHINGTON — Gov. Pat Quinn's new extreme weather portfolio has taken him recently from Illinois to Los Angeles to this city, where on Monday Quinn is part of a panel discussing how states recover from disasters.
Quinn arrived here on Friday for the National Governors Association winter meeting and is extending his stay a day until Tuesday, to be at the White House when President Barack Obama officially hands out a $70 million grant to launch the Digital Manufacturing and Design Innovation Institute in Chicago.
In between government meetings at the NGA and over at the White House, Quinn has been taking care of some political business as he faces a November re-election battle — against who will be decided in the March 18 Republican primary.
He attended fundraising-related Democratic Governors Association events — a "Taste of America" gala Saturday night one of them — and huddled Sunday afternoon with his campaign senior strategist, Bill Hyers.
President Obama and first lady Michelle hosted a Sunday evening dinner for all the governors, and Quinn was seated next to David Simas, the new White House political director, as they dined on a petite filet with Maryland crab ravioli.
On Monday afternoon, Quinn is part of a panel hosted by the National Journal to discuss what states can do in the wake of disasters — drought, flooding, extreme cold and tornados.
On the weather front, Illinois has taken a drubbing, with, according to a count from Quinn's office, 11 natural disasters in the past five years. Last Nov. 17, Illinois suffered massive damage — particularly Washington, Ill. — when some two dozen tornados hit the state over a few hours, leaving eight dead.
Quinn, Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., and the Illinois congressional delegation are appealing a decision by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to not provide assistance to nine Illinois counties hit by the Nov. 17 tornadoes. Quinn et al. argue that the federal formula being used is outdated.
Last year, Obama appointed Quinn to the White House Task Force on Climate Preparedness and Resilience and he traveled to drought-stricken Los Angeles for a Feb. 13 meeting of the group — charged with helping craft policies to better anticipate natural disasters connected to global warming.
Quinn jabs Christie
Embattled New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie — who is also the chair of the Republican Governors Association — skipped the White House dinner and left town early. The stated reason was to go home for his daughter's birthday, but it also served to not add to the damage from the still unfolding George Washington Bridge lane-closure scandal.
For a practical matter, Christie could not function in his RGA role in a public way the past few days — he won't be at the RGA press conference Monday — as flocks of reporters were chasing him around on the bridge story.
Christie got a polite reception when he spoke at The Economic Club in Chicago on Feb. 11 and hauled $1 million from the city, some of it to be used to defeat Quinn.
Asked by a reporter about Christie, Quinn said, "I don't think the Republican Governors Association did themselves any good by having him come.
"We're building some bridges. We don't block bridges. We don't believe in that.
"You don't block a bridge. That's petty politics. We don't go for that. There's no Republican bridge or Democratic bridge in Illinois. They're Illinois bridges."
