    A Review on Fatigue Life Prediction Methods for Metals

    Get PDF
    Metallic materials are extensively used in engineering structures and fatigue failure is one of the most common failure modes of metal structures. Fatigue phenomena occur when a material is subjected to fluctuating stresses and strains, which lead to failure due to damage accumulation. Different methods, including the Palmgren-Miner linear damage rule- (LDR-) based, multiaxial and variable amplitude loading, stochastic-based, energy-based, and continuum damage mechanics methods, forecast fatigue life. This paper reviews fatigue life prediction techniques for metallic materials. An ideal fatigue life prediction model should include the main features of those already established methods, and its implementation in simulation systems could help engineers and scientists in different applications. In conclusion, LDR-based, multiaxial and variable amplitude loading, stochastic-based, continuum damage mechanics, and energy-based methods are easy, realistic, microstructure dependent, well timed, and damage connected, respectively, for the ideal prediction model.This research was made possible by a NPRP award NPRP 5-423-2-167 from the Qatar National Research Fund (a member of the Qatar Foundation)

    Hierarchical decision making patterns for the placement of physical supply chain entities

    Get PDF
    One of the most important areas of development within the evolution of commerce, is the acknowledgement that businesses can no longer compete as individual entities, but rather must function as part of a supply chain. Within an ever-competitive business environment, the ultimate success of a business can often be tied directly to the overall functionality and efficiency of its supply chain. Research within the area of supply chain management is vast, with prior contributions exploring the function of a supply chain from a plethora of social, economic, and commerce perspectives. Prior research has extended to evaluate multiple industries and geographies, over a number of economic and social issues (e.g. environmental sustainability through transport route modification, poverty reduction through global value chain refinement), along with core management and commerce areas (e.g. marketing initiatives through production cycle analysis, operations management through production capacity). Substantial contributions exist which focus on the role of supply chain management and the value of refining, optimizing and designing a chain to the requirements of an industry, economic environment, or business process. In addition to investigation on the definition, function, and applicability of the concept, prior contributions have effectively demonstrated the value of supply chain management in gaining competitive advantage, and improving the overall performance of a business. The notion that supply chain efficiency defines business advantage, has led to exploration of physical configurations and specifications of supply chains; with the primary undertone often centering around evaluating drivers of supply chain optimization, and therein organizational performance. Within existing research, the process of physical site placement, and managerial decision makers within an organization are identified as being key factors in the optimization of a supply chain. As such, a number of prior studies have investigated the drivers which influence physical location decisions, with the majority of research focusing on the impact of geographical location factors. Other studies have centered on the impact of management structure as a catalyst in refining and optimizing a supply chain. While significant research has focused on both areas individually (Barney, 1991; Chopra & Meindl, 2002; Christopher, 1998), relatively little attention has been placed on evaluating the correlation between these paradigms, and therein exploring the root drivers for management decisions. There appears to be substantial value in directly investigating this relationship, as the analysis of this interaction would provide a comprehensive interpretation of specific factors contributing to physical supply chain development decisions. This research evaluated decision making drivers impacting the placement of physical supply chain entities using augmented qualitative and quantitative primary data. One of the main objectives of this study was to define the accepted sequence of decision making priority with respect to land value determination, transportation and accessibility considerations, and tax incentive structures. Data for the study was collected through electronic surveys and interviews, from supply chain managers working at organizations with a minimum annual revenue of $1,000,000 USD. The proposed relationships were evaluated using rigorous statistical analysis including factor analysis and structural equation modelling. Results indicated the existence of a clear sequence in decision structure, with a measurable pattern of priority placed on specific decision criteria. Aspects of corporate culture within the scope of supply chain decision making were explored with insight into the foundation for physical site evaluation. Empirical data suggested the value of land as having the most substantial influence when making physical location decisions. A number of factors influence how managers determine land value, however the location of a site and its proximity to a firms affiliates (e.g. potential partners, strategic alliances) were identified as having the strongest impact. Other considerations including transportation structures, tax incentives, and the ability of a firm to attract highly productive labor also influenced location decisions, albeit to a lesser degree. While prior research suggests businesses often design supply chains with the intention of attracting inexpensive labor, the results of this study were contradictory. Specifically, this study identified a common hierarchical decision making structure, and finds businesses often place value on highly productive labor (not inexpensive labor) when making supply chain location decisions. Fundamentally, the results presented in this study allows firms to gain insight on how decision makers process and interpret information. Establishing the pattern and sequence of decision making priority in the initial physical site placement stage is critical in ascertaining how supply chain networks develop and grow. From an economic standpoint, findings from this study could be applied to competitor assessment, growth planning, and managerial assessment. Based on the notion that competition takes place through supply chain performance, the practical applications of this study provide a meaningful foundation for optimization and therefore competitive advantage. On a larger scale, this contribution is substantial, as it holds value to both academic and business paradigms in further evaluating the definition and optimization potential of a supply chain, and in providing insight into additional areas of business competitiveness

    Education in crises times: Lessons from an online practicum from the experiences of preservice early childhood teachers

    Get PDF
    The world is witnessing increased crises affecting education worldwide, such as health and natural crises. Recently, the world was challenged by the appearance of the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused national and international closure. Thus, learning and teaching shifted quickly to online teaching and assessment. The impact of this sudden shift on preservice Early Childhood (EC) teachers' practicums still needs to be discovered, especially with the insufficient preparation for online learning. This study aimed to explore the experiences and listen to the voices of preservice EC teachers about online practicum. There is little known about how preservice teachers experienced online practicums. How did they feel about them? What are the advantages and disadvantages? Were there any challenges faced? Thus, the study objectives focused mainly on shedding light on preservice EC teachers' experiences and bringing their voices to the forefront. This qualitative research study focuses on three preservice EC teachers who were suddenly forced into online practicum. The results showed that, despite the advantages of online practicums, participants experienced a mix of negative feelings. A primary recommendation was made to draw the attention of education policymakers that teaching is a social practice and emphasized the importance of providing an interactive and engaging online learning environment

    Resolution and simplification of Dombi-fuzzy relational equations and latticized optimization programming on Dombi FREs

    Full text link
    In this paper, we introduce a type of latticized optimization problem whose objective function is the maximum component function and the feasible region is defined as a system of fuzzy relational equalities (FRE) defined by the Dombi t-norm. Dombi family of t-norms includes a parametric family of continuous strict t-norms, whose members are increasing functions of the parameter. This family of t-norms covers the whole spectrum of t-norms when the parameter is changed from zero to infinity. Since the feasible solutions set of FREs is non-convex and the finding of all minimal solutions is an NP-hard problem, designing an efficient solution procedure for solving such problems is not a trivial job. Some necessary and sufficient conditions are derived to determine the feasibility of the problem. The feasible solution set is characterized in terms of a finite number of closed convex cells. An algorithm is presented for solving this nonlinear problem. It is proved that the algorithm can find the exact optimal solution and an example is presented to illustrate the proposed algorithm.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2206.09716, arXiv:2207.0637

    The power of patient ownership: The path from engagement to equity

    Get PDF
    Understanding patient engagement from the lens of a person who is suffering, who is in pain and anguish, who is wracked with fear of the impact of this pain on their body, their family, their career, and their mortality, is a complex undertaking. The authors provide an important patient perspective in acknowledging and highlighting efforts to shift the conversation on experience from one about patients and families to one with patients and families. They challenge us to consider the power that can be found in creating ownership for patients and suggest it may be the one true path to moving beyond a mindset of engagement to real equity in healthcare

    THE PRESENCE AND INSINUATION OF SOCIAL CANCER AMONG SEA INDIGENOUS PEOPLE IN MALAYSIA

    Get PDF
    Background and Purpose: Disturbances that hinder community development affect social capital. I refer to such disturbances as social cancer. This article aims at explaining the existence of social cancers, their typologies, and implications for Sea Indigenous People’s community development through economic activities.   Methodology: This exploratory case study involved 12 Sea Indigenous People in Johor, Malaysia. Data obtained through interviews were analysed using a thematic approach.   Findings: The findings revealed four types of social cancer in the community’s economic activities: 1) jealousy, 2) prejudice, 3) slander, and 4) defamation. Those social cancers had direct impacts on community development, specifically forming sabotage actions, negligence in using community capital, reducing community cohesiveness, causing a decline in the production of social innovation, and the existence of a hanging community and the death of the community.   Contributions: This study calls for a self-realisation mechanism to be introduced to community members so that their capacity for social capital can be developed to overcome the social cancer. Keywords: Community development, self-realisation mechanism, social cancer, social capital.   Cite as: Amir Zal, W. A.

    Perindopril May Improve the Hippocampal Reduced Glutathione Content in Rats

    Get PDF
    Purpose: Oxidative stress and renin- angiotensin system are both involved in the pathophysiology of most of the systemic and central disorders as well as in aging. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, well known for their cardiovascular beneficial effects, have also shown antioxidant properties in pathologic conditions. This study aimed to evaluate the central effect of ACE inhibitors on oxidative status under no pathologic condition. Methods: Adult male rats were divided into four groups of 9 rats each. Groups were treated orally by perindopril at the doses of 1, 2, 4 mg/kg/day or normal saline as the control for four consecutive weeks. At the end of the treatment period the reduced and oxidized glutathione (GSH and GSSG respectively) and malondialdehyde (MDA), the product of lipid peroxidation, were measured in the rats’ hippocampus. Results: The GSH increased dose dependently and was significantly higher in the 2 mg/kg perindopril treated group than the control group (p<0.05) while the GSSG level remained unchanged. As a consequent, the ratio of GSH to GSSG increased significantly in a dose dependent manner. There was not any significant change in MDA. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that ACE inhibition may cause an increase in GSH as an anti- oxidant defense in the hippocampus
