Adaptive phasefield modelling of crack propagation in orthotropic functionally graded materials

In this work, we extend the recently proposed adaptive phase field method to model fracture in orthotropic functionally graded materials (FGMs). A recovery type error indicator combined with quadtree decomposition is employed for adaptive mesh refinement. The proposed approach is capable of capturing the fracture process with a localized mesh refinement that provides notable gains in computational efficiency. The implementation is validated against experimental data and other nu-merical experiments on orthotropic materials with different material orientations. The results reveal an increase in the stiffness and the maximum force with increasing material orientation angle. The study is then extended to the analysis of orthotropic FGMs. It is observed that, if the gradation in fracture properties is neglected, the material gradient plays a secondary role, with the fracture behaviour being dominated by the orthotropy of the material. However, when the toughness increases along the crack propagation path, a substantial gain in fracture resistance is observed.

Praying for Rain? Water Scarcity and the Duration and Outcomes of Civil Wars

Recent anecdotal evidence from the civil wars in Somalia and Yemen suggest that water scarcity may shape the dynamics of civil wars. While a considerable body of research has examined the connection between water scarcity (such as low rainfall) and the onset of civil war, very little research has examined how water scarcity may shape the duration and outcomes of civil wars. Looking specifically at rainfall, this paper argues that changes in access to water play a key role in the duration of civil wars. As rainfall declines, there is a reduction in resources available to both the government and the rebel group, leading to a stalemate in fighting. Furthermore, this paper argues that declines in rainfall are felt more acutely by rebel groups who seek to challenge the government through conventional warfare. This paper tests these propositions using hazard models. The results provide robust support for the propositions.     

An air cavity method for increasing the underwater acoustic targets strength of corner reflector

In order to improve the underwater acoustic target strength of corner reflectors, according to the principle of acoustic impedance mismatch of the boundary layer, the method of using air cavity to increase the underwater acoustic target strength of corner reflectors is proposed. The acoustic reflection coefficients of underwater air layer and single layer metal sheet are calculated and compared. The results show that the reflection coefficient of single layer metal sheet is greatly affected by frequency and incidence angle, and the reflection coefficient of air layer in water is large and little affected by frequency and incidence angle. On this basis, a new kind of airfilled cavity corner reflector is designed. The acoustic scattering characteristics of underwater airfilled cavity corner reflector are calculated cumulatively, and the results are compared with the monolayer metal sheet corner reflector. The simulation results show that the acoustic reflection effect of the airfilled cavity corner reflector is better. In order to verify the correctness of the method, the test was carried out in the silencing tank. The experimental results show that the simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental results, and the airfilled cavity can improve on acoustic reflection performance of the underwater corner reflector.
