Flow Pressure Behavior Downstream of Ski Jumps

Kinematics and Kinetics of Squats, Drop Jumps and Imitation Jumps of Ski Jumpers

Squats, drop jumps, and imitation jumps are commonly used training exercises in ski jumping to enhance maximum force, explosive force, and sport-specific skills. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the kinetics and kinematics of training exercises in ski jumping and to find objective parameters in training exercises that most correlate with the competition performance of ski jumpers. To t...

The Relationship between Selected Kinematic Parameters and Length of Jumps of the Ski-flying Competition

The objective of this study was to analyse selected kinematic parameters (time of flying, in-run velocity, take-off velocity, out-run velocity, height of flying at 17 m, height of flying at 75 m, height of flying at 120 m, aerodynamic index at 17 m, aerodynamic index at 75 m, aerodynamic index at 120 m) of the best world-class ski jumpers participating in the two final individual competitions (...

Pressure-dependent flow behavior of Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5 bulk metallic glass

An experimental study of the inelastic deformation of bulk metallic glass Zr41.2Ti13.8Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5 under multiaxial compression using a confining sleeve technique is presented. In contrast to the catastrophic shear failure (brittle) in uniaxial compression, the metallic glass exhibited large inelastic deformation of more than 10% under confinement, demonstrating the nature of ductile deform...

Turbulent jet flow generated downstream of a low temperature dielectric barrier atmospheric pressure plasma device

Flowing low temperature atmospheric pressure plasma devices have been used in many technological applications ranging from energy efficient combustion through to wound healing and cancer therapy. The generation of the plasma causes a sudden onset of turbulence in the inhomogeneous axisymmetric jet flow downstream of the plasma plume. The mean turbulent velocity fields are shown to be self-simil...
