If compressor manifolds are thin compared to the shortest wavel~ngth of i:r:tt~rest, the gene!al procedure developed by the authors [1, 2] for the analysis of curved, t~l? gas cav1hes can be apphed to the analysis of gas pulsations in multi-cylinder compres~?r head cav1t1es. The procedure for smgle input single output systems is extended to systems of multl-mputs. Four pole parameters and trans...

Blast waves generated in the field explosions impinge on the head-brain complex and induce mechanical pressure pulses in the brain resulting in traumatic brain injury. Severity of the brain injury (mild to moderate to severe) is dependent upon the magnitude and duration of the pressure pulse, which in turn depends on the intensity and duration of the oncoming blast wave. A fluid-filled cylinder...
