  • Tinted with ontological concern, Ted Hughes passes through an existential climate, eventually confirms death( or nothingness) as the new foundation of his poetry, and explores the various paradoxical effects of nothingness. Nihilism, fraught with rather negative and traumatic themes such as death, melancholy, and despair can, however, generate being (even in multiple modes), animalistic vitality, and insubstantial specters. Among these new functions of nothingness animality and spectrality are the most notable in Hughes's poetry. A considerable number of animals and bioorganisms that Hughes introduces exhibit the enormous energy derived from the dignity of death, from subversive challenges against the established hierarchy, and from new and dynamic multifaceted sources of nothingness. In other words, Hughes's animals, yield surplus power beyond themselves, as if they are demi-gods; in short, they feature the sublime as unidentified terrifying effects of nothingness. In a sense, animality means allowing some level of violence without legal sanction. Hughes inaugurates this kind of all bigotry-eradicating violence and attempts to subvert higher beings such as humans and gods, and existing doctrines: thrushes rise up against the animal and human worlds; a rush of ghostly crabs at night press through the human world. Hughes also resists the highest being, God, employing the technique of rewriting God's theology. Dirty, anomalous crows attack, subvert, and dismember the delicate, indurate, and thorough system of logos. Hughes, of course, does not place the animals merely in lofty regard, aware of the ulterior deprivation of the sublime animality, the trace of existential negativity. Thus, a seemingly omnipotent crow can become a mere beggar guzzling ice cream from the garbage bin on the beach. In addition, the violent and dignified aspects of nothingness can be transformed to reveal the thin and trivial traits as unreliable specters. Dark, heavy, and terrible nullity lessens its own volume and mass, and exposes the airy waves of shadows or specters. However, owing to nullity's untraceable track, the scarcity and unfamiliarity of the phantoms inversely display their foreign gigantic effects such as fantasy and violence.

  • This paper presents the theoretical developments of an exact finite strip for the buckling and initial post-buckling analyses of isotropic flat plates. The so-called exact finite strip is assumed to be simply supported out-of-plane at the loaded ends. The strip is developed based on the concept that it is effectively a plate. The present method, which is designated by the name Full-analytical Finite Strip Method in this paper, provides an efficient and extremely accurate buckling solution. In the development process, the Von-Karman's equilibrium equation is solved exactly to obtain the buckling loads and the corresponding form of out-of-plane buckling deflection modes. The investigation of thin flat plate buckling behavior is then extended to an initial post-buckling study with the assumption that the deflected form immediately after the buckling is the same as that obtained for the buckling. It is noted that in the present method, only one of the calculated out-of-plane buckling deflection modes, corresponding to the lowest buckling load, i.e., the first mode is used for the initial post-buckling study. Thus, the postbuckling study is effectively a single-term analysis, which is attempted by utilizing the so-called semi-energy method. In this method, the Von-Karman's compatibility equation governing the behavior of isotropic flat plates is used together with a consideration of the total strain energy of the plate. Through the solution of the compatibility equation, the in-plane displacement functions which are themselves related to the Airy stress function are developed in terms of the unknown coefficient in the assumed out-of-plane deflection function. These in-plane and out-of-plane deflected functions are then substituted in the total strain energy expressions and the theorem of minimum total potential energy is applied to solve for the unknown coefficient. The developed method is subsequently applied to analyze the initial postbuckling behavior of some representative thin flat plates for which the results are also obtained through the application of a semi-analytical finite strip method. Through the comparison of the results and the appropriate discussion, the knowledge of the level of capability of the developed method is significantly promoted.

  • 강원도 지역과 그 주변에 설치된 21개의 광대역 지진관측소 하부에 대한 지각속도구조를 분석하기 위해 2019년 3월 18일부터 2022년 12월 31일 사이에 발생한 139개 원거리 지진자료(Mw ≥ 5.8, 진앙거리 30° - 90°)에 H-κ 중합법을 적용하여 각 관측소 하부에서의 모호면 깊이와 Vp/Vs 비를 추정하였다. H-κ 중합법으로 추정한 모호면 깊이는 24.9 - 33.2 km, Vp/Vs 비는 1.695 - 1.760으로 나타났으며, 추정한 Vp/Vs 비를 수신함수와 표면파 분산의 연합 역산에 적용하여 각 관측소 하부에 대한 1차원 지각속도 모델을 획득하였다. 이에 따른 모호면 깊이는 25.9 - 33.7 km로 H-κ 중합법과 유사한 결과를 보여주었고, 두 방법의 모호면 깊이 결과는 에어리의 지각평형설을 대체적으로 따르는 일치된 양상을 보인다. 1차원 지각속도 모델 해석 결과 태백산 분지에 위치한 일부 관측소의 직하부에서 P파 속도 5 km/s 이하의 저속도층이 2 km 두께로 존재함을 확인하였으며, 강원도 북부에 위치한 CHNB, GAPB 관측소도 같은 결과를 보이는데 이 관측소들은 신생대에 생성된 퇴적층 위에 위치하고 있다. SH2B 관측소는 퇴적층 위에 위치하지 않음에도 불구하고 표층의 P파 속도가 낮게 나왔으며, 이는 기반암의 풍화와 같은 여러 요인으로 인한 것으로 보인다. 계산된 1차원 모델들을 살펴볼 때 모든 관측소의 4 - 12 km 깊이 사이에서 깊어짐에 따라 속도가 감소되는 속도역전층이 관측되었고, 이중 일부 관측소의 하부 10 km 부근에서 암석의 밀도차로 인한 것으로 여겨지는 중간지각 불연속면이 나타났다.
