Introduction to Engineering Plasticity

Fundamentals with Applications in Metal Forming, Limit Analysis and Energy Absorption

By: Tongxi Yu,Pu Xue

The theory of plasticity is a branch of solid mechanics that investigates the relationship between permanent deformation and load, and the distribution of stress and strains of materials and structures beyond their elastic limit. Engineering plasticity underpins the safety of many modern systems and structures. Realizing the full potential of materials as well as designing precise metal processing and energy absorption structures requires mastery of engineering plasticity. Introduction to Engineering Plasticity: Fundamentals with Applications in Metal Forming, Limit Analysis and Energy Absorption presents both fundamental theory on plasticity and emphasizes the latest engineering applications. The title combines theory and engineering applications of plasticity, elaborating on problem solving in real-world engineering tasks such as in metal forming, limit analysis of structures, and understanding the energy absorption of structures and materials. The five main parts of the book cover: Plastic properties of materials and their characterization; Fundamental theory in plasticity; Elastic-plastic problems and typical solutions; and Rigid-plastic problems under plane-stress conditions. This title provides students and engineers alike with the fundamentals and advanced tools needed in engineering plasticity. - Brings together plasticity theory with engineering applications and problem solving - Elaborates problem solving methods and demonstrates plasticity in various engineering fields - Covers the recent decades of research on metal forming and limit analysis - Includes energy absorption of new structures and materials where plasticity dominates analysis and design - Gives a systematic account of the theory of plasticity alongside its engineering applications

Strange Tales from Liaozhai - Vol. 6

By: Pu Songling

The weird and whimsical short stories in Strange Tales from Liaozhai show their author, Pu Songling (1640-1715), to be both an explorer of the macabre, like Edgar Allan Poe, and a moralist, like Aesop. In this first complete translation of the collection's 494 stories into English, readers will encounter supernatural creatures, natural disasters, magical aspects of Buddhist and Daoist spirituality, and a wide range of Chinese folklore. Annotations are provided to clarify unfamiliar references or cultural allusions, and introductory essays have been included to explain facets of Pu Songling's work and to provide context for some of the unique qualities of his uncanny tales. This is the sixth of 6 volumes.

Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio

By: Pu Songling

The Strange Tales of Pu Songling (1640-1715) are exquisite and amusing miniatures that are regarded as the pinnacle of classical Chinese fiction. With their elegant prose, witty wordplay and subtle charm, the 104 stories in this selection reveal a world in which nothing is as it seems. Here a Taoist monk conjures up a magical pear tree, a scholar recounts his previous incarnations, a woman out-foxes the fox-spirit that possesses her, a child bride gives birth to a thimble-sized baby, a ghostly city appears out of nowhere and a heartless daughter-in-law is turned into a pig. In his tales of humans coupling with shape-shifting spirits, bizarre phenomena, haunted buildings and enchanted objects, Pu Songling pushes back the boundaries of human experience and enlightens as he entertains.

The Translatability of Revolution

By: Pu Wang

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Translatability of Revolution

By: Pu Wang

The first comprehensive study of the lifework of Guo Moruo (1892–1978) in English, this book explores the dynamics of translation, revolution, and historical imagination in twentieth-century Chinese culture. Guo was a romantic writer who eventually became Mao Zedong’s last poetic interlocutor; a Marxist historian who evolved into the inaugural president of China’s Academy of Sciences; and a leftist politician who devoted almost three decades to translating Goethe’s Faust. His career, embedded in China’s revolutionary century, has generated more controversy than admiration. Recent scholarship has scarcely treated his oeuvre as a whole, much less touched upon his role as a translator.Leaping between different genres of Guo’s works, and engaging many other writers’ texts, The Translatability of Revolution confronts two issues of revolutionary cultural politics: translation and historical interpretation. Part 1 focuses on the translingual making of China’s revolutionary culture, especially Guo’s translation of Faust as a “development of Zeitgeist.” Part 2 deals with Guo’s rewritings of antiquity in lyrical, dramatic, and historiographical-paleographical forms, including his vernacular translation of classical Chinese poetry. Interrogating the relationship between translation and historical imagination—within revolutionary cultural practice—this book finds a transcoding of different historical conjunctures into “now-time,” saturated with possibilities and tensions.

Contos fantásticos chineses

histórias de amor e heroísmo

By: Songling Pu,Menglong Feng

Foi através de diversos exemplares de antologia de lendas chinesas que pude chorar junto com Zhinü e Niulang pela triste separação imposta por imperador celestial Jade, jurar ser uma mulher forte e sábia como Mulan quando crescer, sentir pena de Chang'e, aprender a importância de controlar a mente tal como Tang Sanzang treina o macaco Sun Wukong, entender que o orgulho pode levar uma pessoa à tragédia, e desenvolver meu senso do justo, do bom e do belo. Esse complexo mundo espiritual chinês a partir de narrativas, que envolvem o fantástico e maravilhoso e que misturam a realidade e o místico, é interesse e tema de estudos de muitos estudiosos chineses e sinólogos ocidentais, e a tradução é parte dos trabalhos desses intelectuais. Como tradutora, ouso dizer que é com a tradução que um chinês entende melhor sua cultura e um estrangeiro enriquece o próprio mundo. E não posso deixar de mencionar que nesta obra temos as traduções e adaptações de Richard Wilhelm (1873-1930), Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904), Rev. John MacGowan (1835-1922) e Norman Hinsdale Pitman (1876-1925). Nela, também há traduções de contos fantásticos de Pu Songling (1640-1715), um escritor chinês da dinastia Qing conhecido por compilar relatos populares de fatos estranhos, e algumas narrativas de Feng Menglong (1574-1646), um literato da dinastia Ming. Os contos de amor e de heroísmo selecionados para integrar esta obra compartilham o mesmo propósito dos autores previamente apresentados: trazer uma outra forma de ver e entender o mundo e as relações sociais para o imaginário brasileiro. Há ainda muitos trabalhos a serem feitos na comunicação ocidente-oriente, este é apenas um dos primeiros passos. Espero que você – cara leitora e caro leitor – consiga sentir junto com as personagens o que são o amor e o heroísmo na visão dos chineses." Yu Pin Fang (Peggy), tradutora

Research On Efficiency And Fairness Of Resources Allocation By China's Governmental Administration

By: Hong Sheng,Pu Qian

In China, the government controls a large part of resources, such as land, energy, bank savings, and so on. This book studies the efficiency and fairness of resources allocation by governmental administration in China. The book states that it is neither fair nor efficient to allocate resources by the governmental administrations. These resources should be allocated by the market.The book analyzes the resources allocation by government administration in three key areas namely education, health care, and land. A quantitive analysis is developed for describing more precisely the situation of unfairness in fiscal resources allocation. This book also describes how ordinary people address the misposition of resources by governmental administrations by migrating from the provinces with less resources to the provinces with more resources in education or health care. Thus, the book concludes that the actual allocation of resources is determined by the interactions between ordinary people and the government.

Rebranding China

Contested Status Signaling in the Changing Global Order

By: Xiaoyu Pu

China is intensely conscious of its status, both at home and abroad. This concern is often interpreted as an undivided desire for higher standing as a global leader. Yet, Chinese political elites heatedly debate the nation's role as it becomes an increasingly important player in international affairs. At times, China positions itself not as a nascent global power but as a fragile developing country. Contradictory posturing makes decoding China's foreign policy a challenge, generating anxiety and uncertainty in many parts of the world. Using the metaphor of rebranding to understand China's varying displays of status, Xiaoyu Pu analyzes a rising China's challenges and dilemmas on the global stage. As competing pressures mount across domestic, regional, and international audiences, China must pivot between different representational tactics. Rebranding China demystifies how the state represents its global position by analyzing recent military transformations, regional diplomacy, and international financial negotiations. Drawing on a sweeping body of research, including original Chinese sources and interdisciplinary ideas from sociology, psychology, and international relations, this book puts forward an innovative framework for interpreting China's foreign policy.

Critical Thinking in Academic Writing

A Cultural Approach

By: Shi PU

The book inquires into critical thinking through a cultural approach. Based on an ethnographic study, it compares Chinese postgraduate students’ conceptualisations and applications of critical thinking in three different settings in China and the UK. From an insider’s perspective, it analyses the intricate interplay of multiple cultural and individual factors that conditions students’ critical thinking development as they learn to write an academic thesis and to manage postgraduate learning. The book offers insights into the nature of problems that Chinese students encounter with critical thinking and envisions possibilities for the ideas for critical thinking to have a transformative power in an intercultural space. The book will primarily be of interest to academics and educators who work on critical thinking and academic writing, especially those who work with Chinese students. Scholars interested in intercultural issues in higher education may also find it relevant.
