本文运用刚塑性分析方法,研究了带裂纹韧性材料梁在爆炸载荷作用下的塑性动态断裂过程,建立了简支梁的运动和断裂过程的控制方程。本文考虑了应变率对梁的运动和断裂过程的影响,以及由于断裂引起的附加轴向力对梁的断裂过程的影响,给出了梁的裂纹启裂和上裂的时刻及其条件,以及裂纹扩展长度、裂改扩展速度、断裂截面上弯曲力矩和附加轴向力随时间的变化规律。     

在爆炸载荷作用下固支梁或筒形弯曲板的塑性动态断裂

本文运用刚塑性分析方法研究了在爆炸载荷作用下固支梁的全塑性动态断裂过程。在爆炸载荷作用下,固支梁将首先在固支端进入塑性变形,当固支端塑性铰转角达到其临界值,或固支端处初始裂纹尖端张开位移达到其临界值时(如果固支端有初始裂纹的话),固支端将产生开裂和裂纹扩展。本文解给出了在动态断裂过程中固支梁裂纹扩展长度、裂纹扩展速度以及梁的轴向约束力随时间变化的规律,并给出了不同载荷幅值下梁的启裂条件和止裂条件以及最终裂纹扩展长度和最大挠度。该分析解也适用于固支筒形弯曲板的断裂问题。     

复合材料帽型加筋层合梁刚度的理论计算研究

根据层合板理论,首先利用三维应力、应变转换关系,推导出复合材料帽型加筋层合梁的总体刚度矩阵公式,建立了复合材料帽型加筋层合梁的拉伸刚度和弯曲刚度理论计算式;然后,计算了轴向或横向荷载作用下,复合材料帽型加筋悬臂层合梁的拉伸和弯曲变形,并和ANSYS有限元计算结果进行了对比;最后,计算分析了腹板倾斜角度对结构刚度的影响。计算结果表明:腹板倾斜角度为60°时,帽型加筋结构的刚度和所需材料的比值达到最优值;拉伸和弯曲刚度的理论解和ANSYS有限元计算结果吻合较好,说明上述方法以及推导的计算公式是准确、可靠的。     

金属泡沫断裂韧性的试验研究

金属泡沫在其实际应用中,断裂性能和断裂韧性对于承载的多孔金属泡沫有着重要的意义。基于美国试验材料学会相关标准,采用三点弯曲试样测定了铝泡沫的I型断裂韧性。研究表明,金属泡沫的断裂为脆性断裂,在裂纹尖端附近,孔壁最薄弱的区域最容易发生变形;随着进一步加载,一些孔壁发生断裂,微裂纹在断裂尖端附近出现。随着载荷的增加,主裂纹在缺口根部形成或由微裂纹合并而成,并开始在多孔结构内传播。裂纹沿着结构最薄弱处传播,并产生次生裂纹和裂纹桥。裂纹总的扩展方式还是I型断裂。根据试验P-V曲线特点,取最大载荷点对应的力与位移求解出铝泡沫的裂纹尖端临界张开位移的平均值为0.051 mm。     

梁的蠕变脆性各向同性弯曲损伤模型

本文在梁的纯弯曲损伤基本假设条件下,导出了弯曲损伤的基本方程,与Ｋａｃｈａｎｏｖ的材料刚度劣化（受载横截面积减小）定义拉伸损伤变量类似,以梁的弯曲刚度劣化（惯性矩减小）定义弯曲损伤变量,从而建立了与Ｋａｃｈａｎｏｖ拉伸损伤模型相类似的梁的各向同性弯曲损伤模型。最后,以受蠕变纯弯曲梁为实例进行了损伤分析,在一次近似条件下,该弯曲损伤模型的材料常数可由Ｋａｃｈａｎｏｖ拉伸损伤模型的材料常数确定,且所得计算结果与Ｋａｃｈａｎｏｖ拉伸损伤模型所得结果比较吻和,表明该弯曲损伤模型是合理适用的。     

45号钢三点弯曲试样断裂韧度K_(IC)测试

带裂纹的构件,裂纹尖湍附近的弹性应力场强度由应力强度因子K来度量。K_(IC)是材料在平面应变条件下Ⅰ型裂纹发生失稳扩展时应力强度因子K_1的临界值,是材料的一种性能,称平面应变断裂韧度。我们按照YB947标准对45号钢进行三点弯曲试验,顺利地完成了断裂韧度K_(IC)的测试。

球面冲击波作用下船体梁运动响应特性

将船舶结构简化为刚塑性等截面船体梁,以炸药在船体梁中部正下方爆炸工况为研究对象,提出了一种计算船体梁在近场爆炸冲击波作用下发生整体运动响应的理论方法。根据冲击强度的不同,将整体运动划分为刚体运动和塑性运动,分别建立了相应的运动理论模型,并进一步分析了两种运动形式的一般特性。结果表明:船体梁发生刚体运动时,结构的整体运动速度和位移随着时间的增加而非线性增大,但运动幅值较小;船体梁进入塑性运动后,其运动过程可看作是正向刚体上升过程中叠加了一个反向塑性变形过程,且梁中部以反向变形损伤为主。

Terrorism,insurgency, kidnapping,and security in Africa's energy sector

Energy continues to serve as the bedrock of modern economies and the main driver of modern society. For Africa, the production and supply of energy resources such as crude oil, natural gas, uranium, coal, biomass, biofuels and other renewables are an important source of employment, rents, taxes, royalties and profits. This sector brings in several tens of billions of dollars of revenue annually. The production and delivery of such resources, however, depend on critical infrastructures such as pipelines, refineries, processing plants, terminals, rigs, electrical energy pylons, substations, pump stations, vessels, and tankers. These infrastructures have been attacked by terrorists, insurgents, vandals and saboteurs, all of whom see them as targets against which to register their grievances and extract concessions from the state. This paper is a chronological account of some of the documented incidents of terrorism, insurgency, kidnapping, destruction, sabotage, and human casualties suffered in the oil and gas sectors in Africa between 1999 and 2012. It is based on data extracted from the databases of the RAND Database of World Terrorism Incidents and the University of Maryland's Global Terrorism Database (GTD).     

Helping hands: civil–military cooperation and Italy's military operation abroad

In the Post-Bipolar Era the growing complexity of the military operations requires a new approach for the resolution of international crises. Since the end of the Cold War, peace support operations (PSO) have become the mainstay and principal occupation of most Western armies. At the same time, Italy has been one of the most important actors in such an area. The article focuses on the cooperation between military and civil components (a process called CIMIC) as a key variable in the Italian PSOs. We will analyse in detail the main lessons learned from past military interventions as well as the general context in which new tendencies are taking place. The maintaining of a minimum security frame becomes essential to fulfil activities ‘collateral’ to the mission: reconstructing services and infrastructure, food distribution, water and medication, law and order, de-mining, training of local forces, and supporting local institutions. These are the main tasks to obtain thrust and support from the population.     

Tacit support for terrorism: The rapprochement between the USSR and Palestinian guerrilla organizations following the 1967 war

This article demonstrates the inconsistent and wavering Soviet attitude towards national liberation movements in general and the Palestinian organizations in particular. Until the late 1960s, the Soviets viewed these organizations with suspicion, hesitating to engage in political dialogue with them. However, in the 1970s, political and military events in the region, as well as modifications in the Kremlin's Cold War strategies, led to a general shift towards the Middle East in Soviet foreign policy. Soviet leaders showed increased willingness to provide certain Palestinian organizations with arms with which to conduct terrorist activities against Israeli, pro-Israeli, Jewish and Western targets. The article explores the complex relations between Palestinian organizations and the USSR in the field of international terror. The study also exposes and analyzes the nature and content of Soviet–Palestinian arms dialogues and transactions. It provides clear evidence that Soviet policymakers and other luminaries were fully informed of, and sometimes directly involved in, these transactions and dialogues at the highest levels.     

A1 Qaeda and the radical Islamic challenge to western strategy

The September 11 global crisis prompted by the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon raises major questions concerning the nature and trajectory of terrorism in the post-Cold War global order. Hitherto, terrorism has been largely debated by analysts at the level of nation states. Terrorist and insurgent movements have also been largely anchored in nationalist and ethnic power bases even when they have sought to mobilise a transnational ideological appeal on religious or class grounds. There have been a few exceptions to this pattern such as the alliance between the German Baader-Meinhof group and the Japanese Red Army Faction, but even such international alliances as this did not, until at least the 1980s, presage anything like a global terrorist network necessitating a global strategic response. This study examines terrorism and global strategic responses.     

Helping hands: external support for the KNU insurgency in Burma

This article analyses to what extent the Burmese KNU insurgency made use of external support from states, refugees, and diasporas. Based on extensive fieldwork it is concluded that support from neighbouring states and refugees has for years kept the Karen rebellion alive. Western countries perceived forms of resistance to the illegitimate Burmese regime as just and have therefore played a crucial role in the continuation of conflict in Karen State. It is important that policymakers and donors as well as executing organizations continue to reflect critically on the way they exercise their work.

Cyber sheiks and grassroots jihadis: the war in Syria and the devolution of the Bosnian Salafi communities

ABSTRACT

What was the scope of the Bosnian jihadi participation in the war in Syria? Did the Bosnian volunteers tend to join one particular faction? Why did the Bosnian youngsters decide to join the holy war in the Levant? Was this an organized and hierarchical process or was this a grassroots movement? Last, were all the Salafis in Bosnia supportive of this dynamic or did this process cause internal frictions? These are some of the questions that this research will try to answer.     

The UK,interrogation and Iraq, 2003–2008

The UK’s interrogation operations during the conflict in Iraq (2003–2008) are often portrayed by the media as involving significant amounts of mistreatment. This article demonstrates that these practices are not necessarily representative of the UK’s interrogation operations across this conflict. In doing so it contributes to the limited literature on the practice of interrogation and on the UK’s combat operations in Iraq. The UK’s interrogation capability, and therefore its intelligence-gathering capability, is shown to have rested primarily with the military’s Joint Forward Interrogation Team (JFIT). The JFIT suffered from limitations to the number, training and experience of its interrogators and interpreters. It is argued that maintaining a permanent, higher level of preparedness for interrogation by the British armed forces is desirable.     

Remembering and forgetting Mirambo: Histories of war in modern Africa

ABSTRACT

While the study of organised violence is considered essential to understanding the history of the West, and accordingly imbued with various layers of meaning and remembrance, war is widely regarded as inimical to the modern nation in Africa and stable development more broadly. Using examples drawn from primarily from East Africa, this paper considers the ways in which warfare in the deeper (‘precolonial’) past has been framed and envisioned in recent decades, in particular by governments whose own roots lie in revolutionary armed struggle and who began life as guerrilla movements. While in some cases particular elements of the deeper past were indeed mobilised in pursuit of contemporary political goals, in many other scenarios histories of precolonial violence were beheld as problematic and unworthy of remembrance. This paper highlights the paradox and ambiguity which has attended the memory of key aspects of Africa’s deeper past.
