Development and Testing of a Steerable Cruciform Parachute System
… simple and inexpensive to make; in this case a cruciform canopy was selected because this design is material efficient and requires far less labor to manufacture compared to parafoil parachutes. Next some method of stabilizing that canopy during flight must be proposed. In this case, the system …

Cruciform runes in the manuscripts of some Old English poems
… the Cynewulfian signatures. Further, individual "cruciform" runes, viewed graphically in relation to their literary context, may serve either to reinforce existing interpretations or to point old views in new directions. That is, the form of a rune, especially a "cruciform" rune, may serve to give …

The aisleless cruciform church: its occurrence and meanings in romanesque Europe
… the foundation for the theory that the aisleless cruciform church was a building type exclusive to the priesthood until the late eleventh century, pointing to the distinctive identity of the intended occupants of such buildings in the eleventh and twelfth centuries—canons, rather than monks—and …

Assessment of helical-cruciform fuel rods for high power density LWRs
… of Light Water Reactors (LWRs), the helical-cruciform (HC) fuel rod assembly has been proposed as an alternative to traditional fuel geometry. The HC assembly is a self-supporting nuclear fuel configuration consisting of 4-finned, axially-twisted fuel rods closely packed against one another …

Fracture analysis of carbon fiber/epoxy matrix interface through microbond and cruciform tests
… analysis, again using ABAQUS [2] CAE, of the cruciform test, which aims at extracting the transverse (normal) failure property of the fiber/matrix interface. The focus of the work is placed on investigating the effect of key geometrical parameters, such as the thickness of the cruciform …

Design, Modeling and Testing of a Cascaded Heading Stabilization Controller for a Cruciform Parachute System
… novel aerial delivery platform that utilizes a cruciform parachute canopy. The cruciform design represents a compromise between the simplicity and affordability of unguided parachute systems and the high performance and precision of complex, expensive parafoil systems. The improvements made to …

The Fatigue of Weldments Subjected to Complex Loadings
Cruciform and double-strap lap weldments were fatigue tested under constant amplitude axial load and SAE Bracket Spectrum load conditions. For the cruciform weldments, fatigue cracks generally initiate at the root but may initiated the toe if higher bending stresses are induced by joint distortion. …

Benzimidazole-Based Fluorophores and Noncovalent Organic Frameworks
The previous studies of molecular cruciforms based on distyrylbis(arylethynyl)benzenes, tetrakis(arylethynyl)benzenes, tetrakis(alkynyl)ethenes, and benzobisoxazole cruciforms, and their use as chemical sensors will be introduced and summarized. We construct a simpler "half cruciform" architecture …

The politics of the crucified: a study of the political theology of John Howard Yoder, Leonardo Boff and Jon Sobrino with special reference to the crucifixion
… concerning the cross. In Yoder, the theme of a cruciform, non-violent and non-resistant church is emphasised. In Boff and Sobrino the cross is seen to represent a protest against suffering in the name of a crucified God in solidarity with a crucified people. In the second part of the thesis the …

Active damping of a structure with low-frequency and closely- spaced modes: experiments and theory
… covers the investigation of active damping on a cruciform beam laboratory structure along with the development of this structure. Also important to this and other research was the development of a calibration apparatus that produces accurate, repeatable calibrations for several types of …

ex-centricity
Out of a dialog of order and building, the cruciform finds presence in the plan and section of a temporally significant house. This is a study of the dialectic between the ideal and the empirical in architecture.

Quantifying the Constraint Effect of Three-Dimensional Specimens with Biaxial Loading Using the J-A2 Method
… specimens, 3-D uniaxial and biaxially loaded cruciform specimens and 3-D uniaxial and biaxial loaded flat plates containing semi-elliptical cracks to determine the constraint effect. The J-A2 results of the plates and cruciform specimens are compared to those of other ASTM standard plane …

Further Development of the Total Fatigue Life Model for Weldments and Its Application to Fatigue Design
Cruciform joints were fatigue tested under SAE Bracket variable loading history. Tube-to-plate welds were fatigue tested under bending and torsion loading conditions. Fatigue test results were compared with predictions made using the total fatigue life model which predicts the total fatigue life of …

Identifying the Classical Theologia Crucis and in this Light Karl Barth's Modern Theology of the Cross
… with false and true creaturely glory. The cruciform Word (or theology) speaking through this system likewise moves in two directions. It declares negatively that any attempt by the creature to circumvent the cross so as to know about God directly, or to condition God's electing decision, is …

LIGHTWEIGHT AND ADVANCE PRECAST CONCRETE SYSTEM FOR MODULAR BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
This paper proposes a new cruciform module design for the construction of buildings with wider column-to-column such as the Healthcare and Institutional Buildings with the use of lightweight concrete. Based on the finite element analysis (FEA) of two buildings with similar configurations and global …

Mechanical properties of arterial wall
… samples for uniaxial testing, and square and cruciform samples for biaxial testing. Samples belonging to the freezing effect study were preserved for two months at -20°C and -80°C in isotonic saline solution, Krebs-Henseleit solution with 1.8 M dimethylsulfoxide, and dipped in liquid nitrogen. …

The development of a modified biaxial composite test specimen
… test specimens in the past have typically been cruciform specimens with a tapered thickness gage section. This ensures that the specimen will fail under bi-axial loading rather than uni-axial loading due to high stress concentrations at the intersecting loading arms. To reduce the stress …

EFFECT OF WELD-TOE GRINDING ON FATIGUE LIFE BASED ON THEORY OF CRITICAL DISTANCE
… welded joints: longitudinal attachment joints, cruciform joints, and butt joints through the numerical results of current research and statistical analysis of experimental datasets based on literature. This study introduces the critical distance approach for predicting the fatigue strength in …

Scripture as Architecture
… church building itself expressed Scripture. The cruciform plan of the great cathedrals was the most profound example, depicting the symbol of Christianity. Clerestory windows filled the vaulted heights above the nave with heavenly light. Mosaics, reliefs, icons and stained glass windows …
