Un triangle traductologique

The new discipline of translation studies clearly finds itself downstream among humanities and traditional disciplines. Essentially interdisciplinary, this “science” lends those major disciplines a fair amount of its methods and concepts. Within this interdisciplinary concert, history plays a crucial role: history of translation (or history of translations) and history as such. Therefore, a methodological research triangle must integrate the following three components: a) translation studies theory; b) different translation practices that form its object of study and which it is called upon to clarify; c) the poles of the couple theory / practice will be re-situated in the logic of their respective common history.

Analysis of displacement and strain field around a bimaterial interfacial region by stress couple theory and experiment

This paper is concerned with the determination of displacement and strain fields within the interfacial region of a bimaterial specimen under shear loading. The analysis is based on the couple stress theory. The measurements are made by means of phase shift moiré interferometry which has been recognized as a useful measuring method by combining moiré interferometry with the phase shift technique and image processing. The results obtained by phase shift moiré interferometry show that the distribution of the shear strain, rotation angle and rotation gradient at the interface region are changing rapidly. The results show good agreement with those predicted by stress couple theory.
