Development and validation of a thorax surrogate FE model for assessment of trauma due to high speed blunt impacts

Without being able to evaluate blunt thoracic trauma in terms of an acceptable injury criterion, it is not possible to develop or validate non-lethal projectiles, bullet proof vests and chest protectors for sports personnel etc.In order for the assessment of the blunt trauma caused by high speed projectiles, a novel design of a mechanical surrogate

Disassembling the clockwork mechanism

Abstract The clockwork mechanism is a means of naturally generating exponential hierarchies in theories without significant hierarchies among fundamental parameters.We emphasize the role of interactions in the Figure Kits clockwork mechanism, demonstrating that clockwork is an intrinsically abelian phenomenon precluded Wooden Train Set in non-abeli

Application of an Improved 2-Dimensional High-Throughput Soybean Root Phenotyping Platform to Identify Novel Genetic Variants Regulating Root Architecture Traits

Nutrient-efficient root system architecture (RSA) is becoming an important breeding objective for generating crop varieties with improved nutrient and water acquisition efficiency.Genetic variants shaping soybean RSA is key in improving nutrient and water acquisition.Here, we report on the use of an improved 2-dimensional high-throughput root pheno

Kinetic energy and its applications in mining engineering

Reduction of energy consumption in comminution is of significant importance in mining industry.To reduce such energy consumption the energy efficiency in an individual operation such as blasting must be increased.By using both new investigations and previous experimental results, this paper Military Helicopter demonstrates that (1) kinetic energy c
