Stress investigation on crack tip plastic zone - part II: sub-interface crack and crack in layered materials by Poh, Xuan You.

“…The values of plastic zone size, normal stress and shear stress are pre-determined by satisfying the conditions that both Mode I and Mode II stress intensity factors vanish and the Von Mises yield criterion is met. The value of J Integral is obtained by finding the average value when the loading is fully applied. …”

Smart farming and artificial intelligence (AI): how can we ensure that animal welfare is a priority? by Dawkins, MS

“…I will argue that for technology to deliver on its promise of being able to improve the lives of animals, three conditions need to be met: (i) Both the public and the agricultural industry must be satisfied that automated measures of welfare can capture what is meant by ‘good welfare’ (ii) There is scientific evidence that the technology genuinely improves animal welfare when deployed on commercial farms (iii) There are demonstrable financial, environmental and other benefits as well as welfare ones so that industry is convinced that prioritizing welfare is commercially worthwhile.…”
