New insights were made possible by applying anthropological theories and conceptual tools. In addition, social phenomena were better understood by comparing them to similar social phenomena in other cultures regardless of time and space. The book explores the rich and complex relationships between the Sages, Priests, and laymen who competed for hegemony in social, cultural, and political arenas. The struggle was not simply a case of attempting to displace the priestly elite by a new scholarly elite. Rather, in the process of constituting a counter-hegemony, the attitude of the Sages towards the Priests entailed ambivalent psychological mechanisms, such as attraction - rejection, imitation - denial, and cooperation - confrontation. The book further reveals that to achieve political and social power the Sages used the established hegemonic priestly discourse to undermine the existing social structure. The innovative discovery of this monograph is that while the Sages professed a new social order based on intellectual achievement, they retained elements of the old order, such as family attribution, group nepotism, endogamy, ritual purity and impurity, and secret knowledge. Thus, social mobility based on education was available only to privileged social classes. The conclusion of the book is that even though the Sages resisted the priestly hegemony and attempted to disengage from it, they could not free themselves from the shackles of the priestly discourse and praxis.Judaism and Jewish life.CohanimTannaimJewsHistory70-638JewsPalestineHistoryElectronic books.Cohanim.Tannaim.JewsHistoryJewsHistory.305.50933Ben-Zion Sigalit1033770MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457484803321A roadmap to the heavens2452485UNINA04411nam 22006375 450 991043804240332120251202135506.09783642379109364237910910.1007/978-3-642-37910-9(OCoLC)849317972(MiFhGG)GVRL6XRJ(CKB)2560000000104470(MiAaPQ)EBC1317294(MiFhGG)9783642379109(DE-He213)978-3-642-37910-9(EXLCZ)99256000000010447020130606d2013 u| 0engurun|---uuuuatxtccrFracture Mechanics and Statistical Mechanics of Reinforced Elastomeric Blends /edited by Wolfgang Grellmann, Gert Heinrich, Michael Kaliske, Manfred Klüppel, Konrad Schneider, Thomas Vilgis1st ed. 2013.Berlin, Heidelberg :Springer Berlin Heidelberg :Imprint: Springer,2013.1 online resource (viii, 301 pages) illustrations (some color)Lecture Notes in Applied and Computational Mechanics,1860-0816 ;70"ISSN: 1613-7736."9783642379093 3642379095 Includes bibliographical references and index.Rupture dynamics of macromolecules -- In-situ structural characterization of rubber during deformation and fracture -- Morphology and Micro-Mechanics of Filled Elastomer Blends: Impact on Dynamic Crack Propagation -- Linking Mesoscopic and Macroscopic Aspects of Crack Propagation in Elastomers -- Macroscopical Modeling and Numerical Simulation for the Characterization of Crack and Durability Properties of Particle-Reinforced Elastomers -- Technical Material Diagnostics – Fracture Mechanics of Filled Elastomer Blends -- Analysis of Dynamic Crack Propagation in Elastomers by Simultaneous Tensile- and Pure-Shear-Mode Testing.Elastomers are found in many applications ranging from technology to daily life applications for example in tires, drive systems, sealings and print rollers. Dynamical operation conditions put extremely high demands on the performance and stability of these materials and their elastic and flow properties can be easily adjusted by simple manipulations on their elastic and viscous properties. However, the required service life suffers often from material damage as a result of wear processes such as abrasion and wear fatigue, mostly caused by crack formation and propagation. This book covers interdisciplinary research between physics, physical chemistry, material sciences and engineering of elastomers within the range from nanometres to millimetres and connects these aspects with the constitutive material properties. The different chapters describe reliable lifetime and durability predictions based on new fracture mechanical testing concepts and advanced material-theoretical methods which are finally implemented in the finite element method for structural simulations. The use of this approach allows a realistic description of complex geometrical and loading conditions which includes the peculiarities of the mechanical behaviour of elastomeric materials in detail. Furthermore, this approach demonstrates how multi-scale research concepts provide an ambitious interdisciplinary challenge at the interface between engineering and natural sciences. This book covers the interests of academic researchers, graduate students and professionals working in polymer science, rubber and tire technology and in materials science at the interface of academic and industrial research.Lecture Notes in Applied and Computational Mechanics,1860-0816 ;70Mechanics, AppliedSolidsMechanicsSolid MechanicsClassical MechanicsEngineering MechanicsMechanics, Applied.Solids.Mechanics.Solid Mechanics.Classical Mechanics.Engineering Mechanics.620.194Grellmann Wolfgang1949-1756688MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910438042403321Fracture mechanics and statistical mechanics of reinforced elastomeric blends4194131UNINA
