Identification of a Multicriteria Decision-Making Model Using the Characteristic Objects Method by Andrzej Piegat, Wojciech Sałabun

“…Rank-reversal is a paradoxical feature in the decision-making methods, which is caused by determining the absolute evaluations of considered alternatives on the basis of the alternatives themselves. In the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method and similar methods, when a new alternative is added to the original alternative set, the evaluation base and the resulting evaluations of all objects change. …”

A New Stress Field Model for Semiclosed Crack under Compression considering the Influence of T-Stress by Mingyu Feng, Xiaoguang Zhou, Yanbin Zhang, Saifeng Wu

“…To reflect the actual state of crack, a comprehensive stress field model around the semiclosed crack is established based on the complex potential theory, and the stress intensity factor KII at the crack tip related to the closure amount of crack surfaces, deep-water pressure, friction coefficient in the closed region, and crack inclination angle is derived. The analytical solution of the stress field around the semiclosed crack contains three T-stress components, i.e., Tx, Ty, and Txy. …”
