At the end of the Eighteenth century, British writers began to
celebrate work in a strangely indirect way. Instead of describing
diligence as an attribute of character, poets and novelists
increasingly identified work with impersonal 'energies' akin to
natural force. Chemists traced mental and muscular work back to its
source in sunlight, giving rise to the claim (beloved by
Nineteenth-century journalists) that 'all the labour done under the
sun is really done by it'. The Work of The Sun traces the emergence
of this model of work, exploring its sources in middle-class
consciousness and its implications for British literature and
science.

A goal of structural health monitoring (SHM) is to increase
aircraft readiness through condition based maintenance (i.e.
servicing an aircraft only when it is known to be necessary). The
lead ziconate titanate (PZT) is a commonly used piezoelectric
transducer that has shown potential to detect damage in aircraft
structures without time consuming manual inspections. But many
locations identified by the USAF for SHM have restricted
geometries, presenting difficulties using the PZT transducers
successfully. One known fatigue location in an aircraft bulkhead
has been selected as a basis to evaluate some of the challenges of
using PZT transducers for SHM. The goal of this research is use
analytical and experimental investigations to detect fatigue cracks
in plates representing the restricted geometry of the aircraft
bulkhead. This research shows that detecting closed fatigue cracks
can be more challenging than detecting open cracks, but that
opening the cracks using an applied static load presents new
challenges.
