Optimum structure to carry a uniform load between pinned supports: Exact analytical solution

This article is available open access through the publisher’s website at the link below. Copyright @ 2010 The Royal Society.Recent numerical evidence indicates that a parabolic funicular is not necessarily the optimal structural form to carry a uniform load between pinned supports. When the constituent material is capable of resisting equal limiting tensile and compressive stresses, a more efficient structure can be identified, comprising a central parabolic section and networks of truss bars emerging from the supports. In the current article, a precise geometry for this latter structure is identified, avoiding the inconsistencies that render the parabolic form non-optimal. Explicit analytical expressions for the geometry, stress and virtual-displacement fields within and above the structure are presented. Furthermore, a suitable displacement field below the structure is computed numerically and shown to satisfy the Michell–Hemp optimality criteria, hence formally establishing the global optimality of this new structural form

Aplikasi Konsep Art Education Pada Desain Komunitas Serbuk Kayu Di Surabaya

Artists want to show art works and expression to the public. The goal is to interact and to convey the aspirations of the community. Growing Arts communities in Surabaya was not balanced by adequate space facilities. As a result, the development of the arts in particular in the field of fine art was not well appreciated by society can. The design of this art space using the case study Serbuk Kayu Communities. Serbuk Kayu community is one of the fine arts community in Surabaya. Serbuk Kayu has different fields of art group artists among others such as murals, xylography, painting, installation, video art, performance Art, literature, music, and more. This design concept is the idea of Art Education Serbuk Kayu Community are in line with the vision and mission Serbuk Kayu which is "Distribution Knowledge of Art". The frame of the concept is divided into 7 parts are based on activity, user, artifacts, form, function, time and economy. The purpose of this design is to accommodate and facilitate the activities of the arts for artists, collectors, art lovers, tourists and the public in the city of Surabaya. Stages in the design process design use of Zeisel include Basic E-B Knowledge: Theory; Images; And so on - Programming Research - Design and Design Review - Construction - Use + Adaptation

Pengaruh Service Quality dan Brand Image terhadap Loyalitas melalui Kepuasan Konsumen pada Inul Vizta Karaoke di Jakarta (Studi Kasus pada Kepuasan Konsumen Inul Vizta Karaoke di Jakarta)

This study takes the research object karoke effort Inul Vizta which in 2014 experienced a decline in the number of visitors. The purpose of this study to determine the effect of Service Quality and Brand Image on Customer Loyalty through Customer Satisfaction. Good influence directly and indirectly with independent variables Service Quality and Brand Image, while Consumer Loyalty and customer satisfaction as the dependent variable. The population in this study is a community located in West Jakarta who had used Inul Vizta karaoke entertainment services and have been using the minimal entertainment services Inul Vizta two times or more. Sampling using purposive sampling method by using quota sampling of 100 respondents by distributing questionnaires. Data analysis method used is Path Analysis (Path Analysis). The results showed that the Service Quality has no significant effect on consumer loyalty, brand image has a significant influence on consumer loyalty and customer satisfaction has a significant impact on the Customer Loyalty. So that the Service Quality, Brand Image and Consumer Satisfaction shows that jointly affect Consumer Loyalty
