Fatigue behavior of notched carbon epoxy laminates during reversed cyclic loads
The relationships between fatigue damage, stress redistribution, and residual stiffness and strength were investigated for notched graphite epoxy laminates during fulIy-reversed cyclic loads. Two material systems, AS4/3501-6 and AS4/1808, two lamination arrangements, (0,45,90,-45)<sub>s</sub>₄ and …

Converging evidence on the autonomy and abstractness of the representation of lexical stress
… in the thesis investigate the nature of word stress and its lexical representation. Focusing on Italian, I considered two research questions: How is lexical stress represented? How does this representation intervene in perceiving or producing a word? Italian is a polysyllabic language with …

The production and perception of Libyan Arabic stress patterns by English speaking learners: A comparison with native speakers
… the production and perception of some selected stress patterns in Libyan Arabic by English speaking learners and compares them to the production and perception of the native speakers. Two tasks were utilised to investigate the participants’ performance: a picture naming and an identification …

Characterization of silicon photovoltaic wafers using polarized infrared imaging
… can introduce crystal defects and residual stress in a PV wafer, which can impact the electrical performance and mechanical reliability of a finished solar cell. This research presents characterization methods for mono-crystal and multi-crystal silicon PV wafers, using an integrated …

Phonological Awareness of Stress and Syllable
… and four-syllable pseudo-word forms with varying stress patterns. The present study examined the participants' ability to identify targeted syllables and targeted stressed elements. That is, in one group (syllable group), participants were required to identify the location of a target syllable …

ESL speakers' production of English lexical stress: The effect of variation in acoustic correlates on perceived intelligibility and nativeness
… of three acoustic correlates of lexical stress in English, namely the relative durations of stressed and unstressed vowels and their relative intensities and fundamental frequency (F0) values. A set of three-syllable words, including cognates and non-cognates, was analyzed. The results …

Numerical investigation of the edge profile in hot-rolling
… and for roll passes with small reductions a stress pattern occurs which leads to the concave edge profile. In this pattern the stresses of highest magnitude at the surfaces are compressive stresses in the vertical direction, while in the centre of the ingot they are orientated in the rolling …

Crustal stress variability across spatial scales - examples from Canada, Northern Switzerland and a South African gold mine
The quantitative descriptions of the state of stress in the Earth’s crust, and spatial-temporal stress changes are of great importance in terms of scientific questions as well as applied geotechnical issues. Human activities in the underground (boreholes, tunnels, caverns, reservoir management, …
