Dynamic Mechanical Analysis

Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) is a powerful technique for understanding the viscoelastic properties of materials. It has become a powerful tool for chemists, polymer and material scientists, and engineers. Despite this, it often remains underutilized in the modern laboratory. Because of its high sensitivity to the presence of the glass transition, many users limit it to detecting glass transitions that can’t be seen by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). This book presents a practical and straightforward approach to understanding how DMA works and what it measures. Starting with the concepts of stress and strain, the text takes the reader through stress–strain, creep, and thermomechanical analysis. DMA is discussed as both the instrument and fixtures as well as the techniques for measuring both thermoplastic and thermosetting behavior. This edition offers expanded chapters on these areas as well as frequency scanning and other application areas. To help the reader grasp the material, study questions have also been added. Endnotes have been expanded and updated.Features Reflects the latest DMA research and technical advances Includes case studies to demonstrate the use of DMA over a range of industrial problems Includes numerous references to help those with limited materials engineering background Demonstrates the power of DMA as a laboratory tool for analysis and testing

An inspirational story of unbelievable courage and maturity in a 14-year old boy Dalton Hobby is no ordinary boy. Made a ward of the State after his mother dies and his father suddenly leaves town without him, he never smiles, never laughs, and almost never speaks. Bounced from one foster home to another, his caseworker has no idea what to do with him. Finally, she gets an idea: send him to an all-boys boarding school, so he can, at the very least, have stability throughout the school year. On a rainy afternoon, 14 year-old Dalton arrives at Capling Hall School for Boys carrying a small, beat-up yellow suitcase and a large green garbage bag, that he immediately hides inside the hollow of a dead tree. One by one, the dark and wonderful secrets that garbage bag holds are exposed, revealing just how tortured, and yet extraordinary, Dalton Hobby really is.WINNER: 2011 Readers' Favorite Book AwardReaders' Favorite Review wrote: "5 stars - Inside a Hollow Tree is a sad, yet intoxicating story about a young boy who has suffered many life tragedies that most people will never have to go through...

How do missiologists describe the cosmologies of those that Christianity encounters around the world? Our descriptions often end up filtered through our own Western religious categories. Furthermore, indigenous Christians adopt these Western religious categories. This presents the problem of local Christianities, described by Kwame Bediako as those that ""have not known how to relate to their traditional culture in terms other than those of denunciation or of separateness."" Kevin Lines's phenomenological study of local religious specialists in Turkana, Kenya, not only challenges our Western categories by revealing a more authentic complexity of the issues for local Christians and Western missionaries, but also provides a model for continued use of phenomenology as a valued research method in larger missiological studies. Additionally, this study points to the ways that local Christians and traditional religious practitioners interpret Western missionaries through local religious categories. Clearly, missionaries, missiologists, anthropologists, and religious studies scholars need to do a much more careful job of studying and describing the contextually specific phenomena of traditional religious specialists before relying on meta-categories that come out of our Western theology or older overly simplified ethnographies. The research from this current study of Turkana religious specialists begins that process in the Turkana context and offers a model for future studies in contexts where traditional religion and Christianity intersect. ""This is exactly the right question Lines has avoided picking up what anthropology has already discarded--colonial imaginations such as religion, witch doctors, animism, chiefs and tribe--and instead goes on a true journey of discovery. After a decade of living and conducting research among the Turkana of Kenya, Lines knows that life is never as neat as it seems when parsed with outsider categories. He provides us with a nuanced, complex, and contested account that draws the reader into the world of the Turkana and their Christianity."" --Michael A. Rynkiewich, Professor of Anthropology, Retired, Asbury Theological Seminary ""For Kevin Lines, missiological contextualization of other religious traditions is not just a theoretical idea, but a mission practice he has used with great effectiveness. His approach to understanding non-Christian religious specialists is the way forward to continued mission success in Africa--and around the world."" --Terry Muck, Author of Why Study Religion?

Analogy of the Wound

Analogy of the Wound

Kevin P. Considine

BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING PLC
2025

This book argues that communication can be a way of salvation for the sinned-against, sinners, and all of creation through an analogy of the wound. Rooted in Jesus' praxis of healing, this theology can assist in recognizing, understanding, and interpreting the harmful residue that remains in the aftermath of violence to repair human dignity and work for the common good. The author weaves together insights from methods of contextual theologies, the wisdom of Black and Womanist Theologies, Korean diaspora theologies of 'han', psychologies of trauma and moral injury, and the Catholic tradition of analogy to arrive at a unique synthesis: moments of salvation can be found in carefully communicating woundedness in the midst of building beloved community. Although the dissimilarities in our woundedness may always be greater than our similarities, the similarities convey truth and meaning and hold the possibility of the church living as Christ’s wounded and resilient Body. We aid each other’s healing in right relationship.
