Abstract: The use of combat helmets has greatly reduced penetrating injuries and saved lives of many soldiers. However, behind helmet blunt trauma (BHBT) has emerged as a serious injury type experienced by soldiers in battlefields. ...

Abstract: A new experimental method for three-dimensional cutting analysis based on times series models and the Dynamic Data System methodology is introduced. Its theoretical formulation allows the treatment ...

Abstract: Hierarchical structures are structures that themselves contain structural elements. Hierarchical lattice structures are counterparts of the traditional lattice structures, whose walls are replaced by some kind of structure. ...

Abstract: For any undercut region of a plastic molded part, a side core has to be designed to form the complex geometry while avoiding the interference between the injection mold and the plastic molded ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an investigation into the potential application of rubber-modified asphalt in railroad trackbeds by measuring its shear modulus and damping ratio. The measurements of the shear modulus ...

Abstract: The paper reports on the erosion resistance of two types of hydraulic concrete, a plain concrete and a concrete reinforced with a low volume of steel fibers. Flow velocities ranged up to

Abstract: A procedure for assessment of bridge expansion joints making use of long-term monitoring data is presented in this paper. Based on the measurement data of expansion joint displacement and bridge temperature, the normal ...

Abstract: A good understanding of environmental effects on structural modal properties is essential for reliable performance of vibration-based damage diagnosis methods. In this paper, a method of combining principal component ...

Abstract: Aerostatic stability of super long-span bridges is a much concerned issue during the design stage. Typical aerostatic instability is the so-called torsional divergence which may lead to abrupt structural failure. The ...

Abstract: This article describes the research work relating to the assessment and control of human-induced vibration of an unusual curved cable-stayed bridge with separate road and pedestrian decks. Dynamic simulations of human-induced ...
