The general form of the virtual work expression for the large strain Euler–Bernoulli beam theory is derived using the nominal strain (Biot's) tensor. From the equilibrium equations, derived from the virtual work expression, it turns out that a linear relation between Biot's stress tensor and the (Biot) nominal strain tensor forms the differential equation used to derive the elastica solution.

The objective of this paper is to briefly examine and contrast the two audiovisual productions of Swedish author Stieg Larsson’s first novel The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo from the perspective that the two films were prepared, shot and finalized within vastly dissimilar production economies. The rationale behind the examination is that it seemingly reveals certain paradoxes that appear to challen

Friction is a subject of importance from many points of view. It controls the relative motion between two bodies in contact and most manufacturing methods based on engagement between a tool and a workpiece are dependent on the prevailing frictional conditions. The outcome in terms of part quality from manufacturing methods like sheet forming is directly connected to the frictional state. The aim
In the increasingly global educational enterprise and all that it entails,a number of substantial changes can be traced in what is commonly viewed as education, its goals, its uses and usefulness. Over and above the broardly defined phenomenon of globalisation, the influence of suprantional regimes can be discerned. Supranational regimes have increasingly grown in power and importance, not least a
Hospital care is a joint production involving a wide range of services; ranging from medical services to support services to hotel services. This paper, focusing on the cooperation between these services, models the internal organization of public hospitals. The analysis is based on the property rights approach to organization (aka the Grossman-Hart-Moore model) and adopts it to the realities of p
