Discussion of "Simplified Model of Low Cycle Fatigue for RC Frames"

To model strength degradation due to low cycle fatigue, at least three different approaches can be considered. One possibility is based on the formulation of a new free energy function and damage energy release rate, as was proposed by Ju(1989). The second approach uses the notion of bounding surface introduced in cyclic plasticity by Dafalias and Popov (1975). From this concept, some models have been proposed to quantify damage in concrete or RC (Suaris et al. 1990). The model proposed by the author to include fatigue effects is based essentially in Marigo (1985) and can be included in this approach

En torno a la unidad de traducción y la unidad de análisis de la traducción en Estilística Comparada

The various models of translation units and units of translation analysis presented in the past did not take into account that translation is an activity that transcends the boundaries of traditional grammar, so that those units were not operative. Our empirico-descriptive conception of Comparative Stylistics, leads us to present a model of a unit of tranlation and analysis that is double -on the one hand the text is the communication unit and on the other the fragment is the processing unitLos diferentes modelos de unidad de traducción y de unidad de análisis de traducciones presentados en el pasado no solían tener en cuenta que la actividad traductora supera los límites de la gramática tradicional, por lo que estas unidades no eran operativas. Partiendo de una concepción empírico-descriptiva de la Estilística Comparada (EC), presentamos un modelo de unidad de traducción y de análisis doble, basado por una parte en el texto como unidad comunicativa y en el fragmento como unidad de procesamiento de la informació
