Abstract: An analytical and experimental study was conducted regarding the effects produced by transverse impact of spherical steel projectiles on circular elastic tubes either empty or else containing ...

Abstract: A second-generation mechanical head-neck model was constructed, instrumented and subjected to pendulum impact tests against both the head and torso and directed from the front, rear and side. ...

Abstract: The transient compressive stress in a slender bar composed of a rate-dependent photoplastic material, subjected to uniaxial impact, has been determined by dynamic photoplasticity and compared to ...

Abstract: An experimental program was conducted to determine the increase in flow stress relative to simple uniaxial compression for 2024-0 aluminum plates subjected to symmetric quasistatic compression by ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation of elastic waves produced by the longitudinal impact of strikers with straight 2024 aluminum tubes of 1-in. dia and wall thicknesses of 0.035 in. (thin-walled), ...

Abstract: Longitudinal elastic waves were produced in a truncated hollow aluminum cone with a wall thickness of 1/4 in. and an apex angle of 20 deg by the central impact of steel spheres ranging in ...

Abstract: A structurally realistic model of the human head-neck system, consisting of a water-filled human cadaver skull and an artificial neck was subjected to pendulum impact under nondestructive conditions. ...
