This work examines the performance of composite panels when subjected to underwater impulsive loads. The scaled fluid–structure experimental methodology developed by Espinosa and co-workers was employed. Failure modes, damage mechanisms and their distributions were identified and quantified for composite monolithic and sandwich panels subjected to typical blast loadings. The temporal evolutions...

There are many tactile devices for indentation examinations to measure mechanical properties of tissue. The purpose of this paper is to develop a portable indentation robotic device to show its usability for measuring the mechanical properties of a healthy abdominal tissue. These measurements will help to develop suitable mathematical models representing abdominal tissue. A 1-DOF portable robot...

Nowadays, the floating production storage and offload system (FPSO) is one of most common platform types for offshore oil production. The traditional arrangement stiffened panels creates obstacles automated cleaning inspections by remote devices. This paper summarizes results an initial study design construction FPSO hulls with SPS in order to overcome this problem. main goal have walls bottom ...

In order to solve the problems of limited installation space and strict additional quality, effects internal distributed nonlinear energy sinks (NES) considering optimal locations on a composite truss core sandwich plate are investigated in this paper. Choose five NESs here inset them different places suppress vibration plate, which is excited by half-wave shock. The coupled dynamic equations s...

staining. However, these visualization methods require either expensive or hazardous radioactive chemicals and Microsatellite DNA markers are widely used in genetic research. are time-consuming. Electrophoresis with MetaPhor Their use, however, can be costly and throughput is sometimes limited. The objective of this paper is to introduce a simple, low-cost, highagarose gels (Cambrex Corporation...
