Drawing from a deep passion for cinema and extensive scholarly experience, the author presents a dynamic exploration of films and filmmakers, examining the essence of the art form. This study, recognized as a significant contribution to film scholarship, reflects on the evolving landscape of cinema over the past decade. With a blend of personal insight and critical analysis, it engages with key themes and influential works, showcasing the intricate relationship between film and its cultural impact.
Focusing on the design and analysis of a parabolic spring for C2 unit trucks, this work highlights the advantages of parabolic suspension over traditional semi-elliptic springs, particularly in material efficiency and distributed effort. It proposes a novel design method that utilizes numerical analysis to reduce the need for costly and time-consuming fatigue tests. The study includes static analysis for stress and deformation assessment, fatigue analysis for service life estimation, and the identification of five vibration modes to ensure safety and performance.
A lifetime of cinematic writing culminates in this breathtaking statement on film's unique ability to move us Cinema is commonly hailed as "the universal language," but how does it communicate so effortlessly across cultural and linguistic borders? In The Eloquent Screen, influential film critic Gilberto Perez makes a capstone statement on the powerful ways in which film acts on our minds and senses. Drawing on a lifetime's worth of viewing and re-viewing, Perez invokes a dizzying array of masters past and present--including Chaplin, Ford, Kiarostami, Eisenstein, Malick, Mizoguchi, Haneke, Hitchcock, and Godard--to explore the transaction between filmmaker and audience. He begins by explaining how film fits into the rhetorical tradition of persuasion and argumentation. Next, Perez explores how film embodies the central tropes of rhetoric--metaphor, metonymy, allegory, and synecdoche--and concludes with a thrilling account of cinema's spectacular capacity to create relationships of identification with its audiences. Although there have been several attempts to develop a poetics of film, there has been no sustained attempt to set forth a rhetoric of film--one that bridges aesthetics and audience. Grasping that challenge, The Eloquent Screen shows how cinema, as the consummate contemporary art form, establishes a thoroughly modern rhetoric in which different points of view are brought into clear focus.
Der Entwurf und die Analyse einer Parabelfeder für einen C2-Einheits-LKW stehen im Mittelpunkt dieser Arbeit. Die innovative Konstruktion bietet Vorteile gegenüber herkömmlichen halbelliptischen Federn, indem sie eine gleichmäßige Kraftverteilung und eine effizientere Materialnutzung ermöglicht. Die Arbeit schlägt eine optimierte Auslegungsmethode vor, die auf numerischer Analyse und analytischen Vergleichen basiert, wodurch zeit- und kostenintensive Ermüdungstests minimiert werden. Zudem werden statische und Ermüdungsanalysen durchgeführt, um Spannungen, Verformungen und Lebensdauer zu bestimmen sowie Schwingungsformen zu ermitteln.
