Yield Strength Analysis by Small Punch Test Using Inverse Finite Element Method
AbstractConsidering the change of material behavior in in-service component due to temperature, loading and irradiation, several micro-specimen techniques have been proposed to describe deformation and fracture behaviors of materials under different conditions. This paper investigates the mechanical characterization of materials by the experimental and numerical method of small punch test. A two-dimensional finite element model was established to simulate the deformation behavior of X80. The resulting Load-Displacement curve contains key information about the mechanical properties of the tested materials. Thus, an application of inverse finite element method was used in the investigation of mechanical properties of materials which have been tested by small punch test. The difference between experiment and simulation curves was defined as objective function based upon the calculation model established by ABAQUS and MATLAB procedure. Finally, the estimated results suggested confidence in the analysis of the inverse finite element method for material's yield strength
TEACHING ENGLISH BASIC SKILLS TO KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS USING TPR: A QUANTITATIVE STUDY IN DOCTO RABBIT KINDERGARTEN, TELAGA GOLF SAWANGAN, DEPOK
The goal of this study is to find out the effectiveness of using Total Physical Method in teaching English Basic Skills for kindergarten students, especially in Docto Rabbit Kindergarten School, Telaga Golf, Sawangan, Depok. The method used is quantitative method and to analyze the data, SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Scientist) 16 regarding T-Test is used. The finding of this study is the fact that using Total Physical Response method is effective in teaching English basic skills for young learners because it suit with their characters. TPR method, developed by Dr. James Asher tries to introduce some language skills in an action in which a teacher serves three roles: an order taker, a model provider, and an action monitor in which learners serve as models and action performers until they feel ready to speak out and enjoy studying English. Key words: young learners, total physical response (TPR), English Basic Skill
History effect in inhomogeneous superconductors
A model was proposed to account for a new kind of history effect in the
transport measurement of a sample with inhomogeneous flux pinning coupled with
flux creep. The inhomogeneity of flux pinning was described in terms of
alternating weak pinning (lower jc) and strong pinning region (higher jc). The
flux creep was characterized by logarithmic barrier. Based on this model, we
numerically observed the same clockwise V-I loops as reported in references.
Moreover, we predicted behaviors of the V-I loop at different sweeping rates of
applied current dI/dt or magnetic fields Ba, etc. Electric transport
measurement was performed in Ag-sheathed Bi2-xPbxSr2Ca2Cu3Oy tapes immersed in
liquid nitrogen with and without magnetic fields. V-I loop at certain dI/dt and
Ba was observed. It is found that the area of the loop is more sensitive to
dI/dt than to Ba, which is in agreement well with our numerical results.Comment: To appear in Phys Rev B, October 1 Issu
Longitudinal broadening of near side jets due to parton cascade
Longitudinal broadening along direction on near side in
two-dimensional () di-hadron correlation
distribution has been studied for central Au+Au collisions at =
200 GeV, within a dynamical multi-phase transport model. It was found that the
longitudinal broadening is generated by a longitudinal flow induced by strong
parton cascade in central Au+Au collisions, in comparison with p+p collisions
at = 200 GeV. The longitudinal broadening may shed light on the
information about strongly interacting partonic matter at RHIC.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures; accepted by Eur. Phys. J.
The Character Of Louisa Clarkâs Inner Conflict Reflected In Jojo Moyesâs Me Before You (2012) A Psychoanalytic Approach
This study aims to describe: (1) a form of inner conflict in the character Louisa Clark in the novel me before you by Jojo Moyes; (2) the factors underlying the inner conflict of Louisa's character in the novel me before you and (3) the form of resolving inner conflicts in my novel before you. The data source for this research is the novel Me Before You by Jojo Moyes with page number 264. The technique of collecting data is by reading and taking notes, while data analysis is done by heuristic-hermeneutic techniques. The validity of the data is taken from semantic validity and intrarater reliability and interrater reliability. The results of this study are as follows. The manifestation of the inner conflict of Louisa Clark's character includes the choice not as desired, hesitation in the problem, and finally the hope is not in accordance with reality. From the research shows that the problems experienced by Louisa's character in the novel me before you are dominated by the existence of Id rather than the ego. The dominance of the id rather than the ego which caused Louisa to experience inner conflict, and the form of inner conflict that was most dominant in Louisa was in the hesitation in facing problems. (2) factors underlying the inner conflict of Louisa Clark's character in the novel Me Before You include internal factors and external factors. Internal factors include self-hatred, anxiety about the future and envy of the life of his sister Trenaa. External factors include less supportive environmental factors, sympathy from Mrs. Traynor and betrayal of the closest person. Of the two factors that were the most influential as the cause of the emergence of inner conflict Louisa was an external factor, (3) the form of resolution of inner conflicts experienced by Louisa Clark in the novel Me Before You which includes sublimation, projection, and rationalization. The settlement form most often done by Louisa is a form of repressio

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkapkan konstruksi para santri tentang multikulturalisme di Indonesia yang dihubungkan dengan pemahaman ideologi keagamaan mereka. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian deskriptif-analitif yang berupaya untuk mengungkapkan berbagai konstruksi santri dalam memahami multikulturalisme. Dari hasil paparan konstruksi para santri mengenai multikulturalisme tersebut penelitian ini bermaksud menemukan model pembelajaran agama yang dikembangkan di lingkungan pesantren yang mengedepankan semangat multikulturalisme. Penelitian deskriptif ini dilakukan dengan wawancara mendalam kepada santri dan pengelola pesantren di Yogyakarta tentang realitas multikultural di Indonesia. Para santri yang dijadikan sebagai informan penelitian adalah santri di lingkungan pesantren yang berafiliasi pada organisasi massa Nahdlatul Ulama. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemahaman para santri tentang keberagaman di Indonesia sangat erat kaitannya dengan pemahaman keagamaan yang dimilikinya. Pesantren-pesantren NU di Yogyakarta yang menjadi obyek penelitian ini menunjukkan sikap terbuka dalam menerima keberagaman. Para santri di pesantren-pesantren itu memiliki pandangan bahwa multikulturalisme merupakan keniscayaan dalam masyarakat yang harus diterima dengan segala konsekuensinya. Keragaman agama dan budaya adalah fakta sosial yang tidak bisa ditolak kehadirannya. Itulah sebabnya, pemahaman keagamaan yang menurut mereka perlu dikembangkan adalah yang menghargai keragaman dan keterbukaan menerima perbedaan tersebut. Lingkungan Yogyakarta dengan Kasultanan sebagai perekat tradisi Jawa dianggap para santri memberikan pengaruh kepada sikap dan perilaku keberagamaan mereka. Di Yogyakarta relasi sosial dibarigun secara dinamis dengfm kekuatan tradisi sebagai media perekat sosial antar agama. Pengungkapan atas konstruksi multikulturalisme tersebut menjadi titik pijak dirumuskannya model pembelajaran agama bewawasan kebangsaaan

Theoretical study of the two-proton halo candidate Ne including contributions from resonant continuum and pairing correlations
With the relativistic Coulomb wave function boundary condition, the energies,
widths and wave functions of the single proton resonant orbitals for Ne
are studied by the analytical continuation of the coupling constant (ACCC)
approach within the framework of the relativistic mean field (RMF) theory.
Pairing correlations and contributions from the single-particle resonant
orbitals in the continuum are taken into consideration by the resonant
Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) approach, in which constant pairing strength is
used. It can be seen that the fully self-consistent calculations with NL3 and
NLSH effective interactions mostly agree with the latest experimental
measurements, such as binding energies, matter radii, charge radii and
densities. The energy of 2s orbital is slightly higher than that
of orbital, and the occupation probability of the
2s orbital is about 20%, which are in accordance with the
shell model calculation and three-body model estimation
