abstract = {This article discusses microlevel actions undertaken by owner?managers, and how such actions affect stakeholders in enhancing the sustainability of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), the knowledge on which is lacking in the extant literature. The paper, by adopting an inductive analytical approach, draws key insights from the literature on microfoundations and sustainability and evidence from representatives of 5 Cultural and Creative Industry SMEs in Italy and of 5 in the United Kingdom. The findings suggest that owner?managers play a crucial role when engaging in sustainability activities jointly with employees and other stakeholders, through which individual?level actions enhance collective organizational?level sustainability practices. The U.K. and Italian cases highlight 2 contrasting approaches to dealing with sustainability; thus, the paper contributes to the emerging literature on SME microfoundations and sustainability.},

abstract = {By underlining the relevance of the use of ICTs, knowledge sharing and electronic markets for SMEs, it emerges the need for stimulating a debate on digitisation process of supply chain management (SCM). Electronic infrastructure in the service sector are reducing each kind of cost and improving multiply buyer-supplier relationships, facilitating negotiations and transactions. However, since the coordination costs are still high, the use of ICTs is limited. This phenomenon thus attracts the interests of scholars and practitioners. Although it still needs to further investigate. Especially, the optimal use of ICTs within SMEs' SCM have not been studied yet. Therefore, by leveraging on four proxies: ICTs specialised human resources, knowledge sharing activities, buyer-supplier relationships, adoption of electronic markets this optimal was analysed via structural equation modelling based on a sample of 1254 SMEs operating in the service sector in Italy.},

As the technical substrate is the physical medium in which the innovation materializes, we analyze its role in this process. Our research is based on a longitudinal analysis of management innovation in a large industrial group. We demonstrate that the creation of managerial innovation rests on a strong interaction between the technical substrate and a managerial philosophy. The legitimate rise of new actors, integrated in a new relationship system thanks to managerial innovation, reinforces the appropriation process.},

abstract = {A method is proposed to compute the response of highly heterogeneous structures by constructing homogenized models when no scale separation can be assumed. The technique is based on an extended homogenization scheme where the averaging operators are replaced by linear filters to cut off fine scale fluctuations, while maintaining locally varying mechanical fields with larger wavelength. As a result, the constitutive law at an intermediate scale, called mesoscale, arises to be naturally nonlocal by construction, where the kernel operator is fully constructed by computations on the unit cell associated with the microstructure.},

sandwich structures is presented. The prediction of the TL uses a numerical tool based on

a finite element formulation for the sandwich plate coupled to a boundary element

method for the acoustic medium. This tool can be used for arbitrarily shaped three-layer

sandwich plates with various boundary conditions and it is well adapted to parametric

and optimization studies. First, a parametric study was conducted to choose the objective

function, the constraints, and the pertinent design variables to use in the optimization

problem which consist in reducing the sound power transmitted by a viscoelastically

damped sandwich plate. Next, by constraining the acoustical behavior of the sandwich panel,

the surface mass of the sandwich structure was minimized. It is shown that a significant

reduction in the transmitted sound power can be achieved by selecting the appropriate

geometric configuration and damping layer material.},

abstract = {The constrained-layer damping treatment is widely used to control the resonant response of vibrating structures,

particularly in the automotive and aerospace industries. This technique requires design tools in order to select the

best location, type and thickness of the damping and constraining-layer materials for optimum damping while

minimizing the total weight of the damping treatments. In this study, a numerical tool is presented to analyze the

vibration response of plates partially or fully covered with a constrained viscoelastic damping material. This tool

is based on a finite element approach. The undamped plate structure is modeled using a discrete Kirchhoff theory

(DKT) element. However, a sandwich plate element is specially derived to model the damped plate structure.

This element is formulated in such a way that it is compatible with the DKT element. The natural frequencies

and modal loss factors are derived from the modal strain energy method. The proposed approach is validated

by comparing predictions with the results of various examples published in the literature. Hence, this approach

is shown to predict accurately the damping characteristics of arbitrarily shaped sandwich plates, with different

material properties and boundary conditions, fully or partially covered with constrained viscoelastic layers. The

influence of the damping patch locations and the viscoelastic material's shear modulus on the vibration and

damping characteristics is investigated. To damp the plate effectively using partial coverage, the damping patches

must be distributed appropriately. To select the best damping patch locations, an indicator based on the energy

dissipated through the viscoelastic layer is proposed.},

abstract = {Predicting the vibro-acoustic behaviour of a structure is usually done by using the well

established finite element (FE) method and boundary element method. This paper presents

a vibro-acoustic prediction case performed on a metal box using less accurate but simplified

methods: sub-structuring for the calculation of the dynamic response of the structure, and a

monopole distribution for the radiated noise calculation. Both are less accurate but faster

methods than previous ones. An experimental validation was performed. It led to the conclusion

that these methods give precise results and are sufficient for the pre-design of structures in

the low frequency domain. However, this conclusion must be moderated by the fact that in

spite of the simplicity of the structure, the FE model had to be adjusted to the experiments

to yield to a result close to the experiments.},
