In this study, the effect of a high-speed AP 7.62 bullet on Ti6Al4V, AISI 4340, Inconel-718, AlSi10Mg and Al 6061 - T6 materials at different impact angles were investigated by using finite element package software LS-DYNA 971. 4340 was taken as material 850 m/s speed for ballistic investigation. Angle obliquity against plates has been in range 0-80º. Simulations carried out 5 degrees increment...

An agemodel not relying upon orbital assumptions is estimated over the last 2Ma using depth in marine sediment cores as a proxy for time. Agemodel uncertainty averages 10Ka in the early Pleistocene ( 2–1Ma) and 7Ka in the late Pleistocene ( 1Ma to the present). Twelve benthic and five planktic d O records are pinned to the agemodel and averaged together to provide a record of glacial variabilit...

This study numerically investigated heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics in a novel cylindrical heat sink with helical minichannels for the laminar flow of fluid with temperature-dependent properties. A finite volume method was employed to obtain the solution of governing equations. The effects of helical angle, channel aspect ratio, and Reynolds number, which were regarded as main para...

Large-scale variations in the obliquity of the planet Mars are produced by a coupling between the motion of its orbit plane due to the gravitational perturbations of the other planets and the precession of its spin axis which results from the solar torque exerted on the equatorial bulge of the planet. The obliquity oscillates on a time scale of approximately 1.2 x 10(5) years. The amplitude of ...

[1] The obliquity of the Martian spin axis is known to undergo quasiperiodic oscillations superposed over chaotic long-term variations. It is probable that within past history there were geologically long periods when the obliquity oscillated around low (10–15 ) mean values. During such low obliquity epochs the climate system is controlled by deposition of permanent solid CO2 deposits in the po...

The influence of obliquity, the tilt of the Earth's rotational axis, on incoming solar radiation at low latitudes is small, yet many tropical and subtropical paleoclimate records reveal a clear obliquity signal. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain this signal, such as the remote influence of high-latitude glacials, the remote effect of in-5 solation changes at mid-to high latitudes...

[1] We take a new look at expected atmospheric water vapor abundances on Mars during periods of high obliquity using the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory Mars General Circulation Model. For the first time, the sublimation and burial of the present-day residual polar caps beneath a sublimation lag is considered as the planet shifts from lower to high (45 ) obliquity periods. Following the e...

Differences in pelvic obliquity between small groups of persons with unilateral lower limb amputation and subjects without amputation were analyzed. Kinematic walking data were collected as six males with transtibial amputation and three males with transfemoral amputation walked over a range of speeds. The pelvic obliquity patterns and amplitudes from the groups with amputation were compared to...

In this article we will try to elaborate a reflection around aesthetic experience, more specifically phenomenology of artwork (Soutine/de Kooning), in dialogue with Emmanuel Falque's thought. Even if the French philosopher has not yet dedicated an autonomous work question, such appears abundantly dispersed and sparse his various writings. Among others, Francis Bacon Lucian Freud were artists ch...

Context. The orientation and rotation of Mars can be described by a set Euler angles (longitude, obliquity, angles) estimated from radioscience data (tracking orbiters landers), which then used to infer the planet's internal properties. are analyzed using modeling expressed within barycentric celestial reference system (BCRS). This includes several relativistic contributions that need properly ...
