Two Dimensional Model

Multibolt composite joints are widely used in aircraft structures. The determination of the pin-load distribution among the bolts is a critical step in the failure prediction of bolted joints. In this paper, a two-dimensional model of the multibolt composite structure is established for the pin-load distribution analysis. Its accuracy is validated by experimental results and the results from a 3D finite element model. Based on the determined pin-load distribution, FE models for a laminated plate with three-row fastener joints are built for failure prediction. Hashin stress criteria and the degradation guidelines of the material stiffness with respect to the different failure modes proposed by Tserpes are applied for the failure evaluation and the material degradation, respectively. The failure location and ultimate load are well predicted, which further validates the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed model for the pin-load distribution analysis.

Boltzmann Method

Many rheological properties of blood, along with transport properties of blood cells can be captured by means of modeling blood through its main constituents, red blood cells (RBCs) and plasma. In the current work, we present a fully resolved two-dimensional model for blood suspension flow, employing a discrete element model (DEM) for RBCs and coupling it to a lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) fluid solver using the immersed boundary method (IBM). We identify an efficient computationally reduced mesoscopic representation of cells and flow, still able to recover essential physics and physiological phenomena. Our model is found to agree quantitatively with experimental findings. The Fåhræus–Lindqvist effect and shear thinning is recovered, while the thickness of the cell-free layer (CFL) matches the observations. In addition, we investigate the tank-treading frequency of a single RBC in shear flow along with the transition from tumbling to tank-treading, also matching experimental data.

Students Attitudes

This research uses the counter-attitudinal essay paradigm ( Janis & King, 1954 ) to test the effects of social actions on social representations. Thus, students wrote either a pro- or a counter-attitudinal essay on Higher Education. Three forms of counter-attitudinal essays were manipulated countering respectively a) students’ attitudes towards higher education; b) peripheral beliefs or c) central beliefs associated with this representation object. After writing the essay, students expressed their attitudes towards higher education and evaluated different beliefs associated with it. The structural status of these beliefs was also assessed by a “calling into question” test ( Flament, 1994a ). Results show that behavior challenging either an attitude or peripheral beliefs induces a rationalization process, giving rise to minor modifications of the representational field. These modifications are only on the social evaluative dimension of the social representation. On the other hand, when the behavior challenges central beliefs, the same rationalization process induces a cognitive restructuring of the representational field, i.e., a structural change in the representation. These results and their implications for the experimental study of representational dynamics are discussed with regard to the two-dimensional model of social representations ( Moliner, 1994 ) and rationalization theory ( Beauvois & Joule, 1996 ).
