The aim of this study is to see what the influence of tow-bars is in rear-end collisions, hereby looking at the crash pulse. The database from the Swedish insurance company Folksam and some full-scale tests performed by Autoliv [I, 241 give an indication that the tow-bar increases the injury risk. The increased average acceleration correlates to the increased injury risk. First of all a literat...

A helical tow model of on-line curing of thermoset composites in winding is developed and solved numerically. Actual shape of tow in winding process is considered, and consequently, the modeling of the on-line curing process is more realistic. A numerical grid generation method is developed for the complicated geometry. Transformations of three-dimensional energy equation and its boundary condi...

In recent years, more and more automobile producers adopted the supermarketconcept to enable a exible and reliable Just-in-Time (JIT) part supply of their mixed-model assembly lines. Within this concept, a supermarket is a decentralized in-house logistics area where parts are intermediately stored and then loaded on small tow trains. These tow trains travel across the shop oor on speci c routes...

No study has ever been performed in Iran to investigate the relationship between awareness of cancer diagnosis and spiritual health in cancer patients. Therefore, the present study aimed to review the effects of awarenes...

15and 9-channel FM/FM physiological/force-field telemetry data acquisition systems utilizing microminiaturized signal conditioning modules, IRIG subcarrier oscillators and 220 or 1485.5 MHz transmitters have been utilized to monitor the responses of military test parachutists throughout intentional free-fall parachuting and continuously during highspeed (110-150 KIAS) through-the-air-tow by C-1...

This paper presents an agent-based model to analyze tow-away policy in a local community. We will focus on such a situation that (1) Outsiders of a local community make illegal parking in the residential area; (2) The habitants of the community must develop their tow-away policy; (3) They can form a policy group to stress both the outsiders and the local government; and (4) The local government...
