Determination of the bending stiffness for a spiral strand by Mohammed Raoof, T.J. Davies

“…Beyond a certain limit of this ratio, plane sections do not remain plane and, depending on the level of axial tension and imposed radius of curvature, interlayer slippage takes place, starting from the outer layer and spreading towards the centre of the strand. On the theoretical side, apart from one publication in the mid-1980s and some fairly recent publications by the first author and his associates, all other theoreticians have previously assumed either plane-section bending or, in many cases, have totally ignored the ever-present interwire friction, assuming that the individual helical wires act as simple helical springs. …”

Analytical and finite element modelling of the elastic–plastic behaviour of metallic strands under axial–torsional loads by Francesco Foti, Alessandro de Luca di Roseto

“…Simple and accurate cross sectional constitutive equations a rederived, fully accounting for the evolution of plastic deformations in the wires, starting from a description of the internal structure of the strand. The proposed approach is suitable both for straightforward analytical calculations as well as for implementation into finite elements for the large-scale structural analyses of cable structures. …”

Body size affects the vertical movement of benthic amphipods through subsurface sediments in response to drying by C Patel, AN Vadher, Kate Mathers, Ciara Dwyer, Paul Wood

“…Using sediment columns (mesocosms) filled with different sized transparent substrates, we explored how varying speeds of drawdown affected vertical movement and stranding of individuals. We hypothesised that: (1) larger individuals would be less able to migrate within subsurface sediments compared to smaller ones; (2) smaller sediment particles would lead to more individuals becoming stranded and; (3) faster rates of water level drawdown would increase the likelihood of individuals becoming stranded above the waterline. …”

Desynchronised times? Chronobiology, (bio)medicalisation and the rhythms of life itself by Simon J Williams, Robert Meadows, Katie Coveney

“…On the other hand, a variety of new rhythmic interventions and forms of governance are now emerging within and beyond medicine, from chronotherapies and chronopharmacology to biocompatible school and work schedules, and from chronodiets to the optimisation of all we do according to our ‘chronotypes’. Conceptualising these developments, we suggest challenges us to think within and beyond medicalisation to wider processes of biomedicalisation and the biopolitics of our body clocks: a vital new strand of chronopolitics today indeed which implicates us all in sickness and in health as the very embodiment of these rhythms of life itself. …”

Constructing ‘the people’ of populism: a critique of the ideational approach from a discursive perspective by Giorgos Katsambekis

“…It suggests that the assumption found in the currently dominant strand of populism studies, the so-called ideational approach, that populism necessarily constructs a homogeneous and morally pure people is problematic and may lead to analytical and normative bias, as it automatically equates populism with an anti-pluralist and illiberal form of politics. …”

Gravitational vortices and clump formation in Saturn's F ring during an encounter with Prometheus by Phil Sutton, Feodor Kusmartsev

“…Fan, spiral, propellers, moonlets and streamer-channels observed by CASSINI in the F-ring have been attributed to encounters by Prometheus on the F ring, with investigations of optical thickness revealing large populations of transient moonlets. Taking into account gravitational interaction between particles and a multi-stranded F-ring structure we show that Prometheus' encounters create rotational flows, like atmospheric vortices and the self-gravity enhances the accelerated growth and size of moonlets. …”
