III Abstract: This study aims at the energy absorption problems in the crash of high speed vehicles, bird impact and crashworthiness design of aircraft, and the dynamic enhancement and multi-axial behavior of honeycombs under combined shearcompression are investigated. The study consists mainly of two parts. The first part is related to the dynamic strength enhancement of honeycombs under uniax...

A non-equilibrium molecular dynamics method is employed to study the mechanical response of soda-lime glass (a material commonly used in transparent armor applications) when subjected to the loading conditions associated with the generation and propagation of planar shock waves. Specific attention is given to the identification and characterization of various (inelastic-deformation and energy-d...

This paper presents a novel experimental methodology for the study of dynamic deformation of structures under underwater impulsive loading. The experimental setup simulates fluid–structure interactions (FSI) encountered in various applications of interest. To generate impulsive loading similar to blast, a specially designed flyer plate impact experiment was designed and implemented. The design ...

Introduction: The tensile properties of the shoulder ligaments under dynamic loading have not been investigated. A recent finite element model showed the ligaments in the shoulder were subjected to dynamic tensile loading during 8.65 m/s lateral shoulder impact [1]. The mechanical properties of shoulder joints under dynamic loading are needed to better understand shoulder injury mechanisms, to ...

REASONS FOR PERFORMING STUDY Although track surfaces are a risk factor of tendon injuries, their effects on tendon loading at high speed are unknown. Using a noninvasive ultrasonic technique, it is now possible to evaluate the forces in the superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT) in exercise conditions. OBJECTIVES To compare the effects of an all-weather waxed track (W) vs. a crushed sand tr...

Intelligent knowledge based system (IKBS) is developed for optimizing dry CNC turning process using Taguchi method, CNC Machine, EN19 steel as the work piece material, andCutting Insert. Tool wear and spindle loading which are the machining parameters, spindle speed, feed rate, and depth of cut, areoptimized through the intelligent knowledge based system (IKBS). The experimental CNC turning mac...
