Comparative Study of Different Lightweight Head Protection Systems with Full-Face Visors for Humanitarian Deminers
نویسنده
چکیده
A key component for of any personal protective ensemble for demining is the helmet and/or face shield. For obvious reasons, protecting the face of a deminer is of utmost importance in the case of an accidental detonation of a mine. Currently, there is a wide range of different head and face protective devices available for the deminer, and this study attempts to perform a first evaluation of these devices from several different perspectives.

To the Editors: The incidence of sun-induced skin cancer is rising and the eyelid and face are frequent sites of involvement.1,2 Sun exposure can also predispose to pterygium, climatic droplet keratopathy, cataracts, and perhaps macular degeneration. The majority of the skin’s lifetime sun damage occurs during childhood.2 More than 70% of American children ages 5 to 14 years (27.7 million child...
متن کاملCyclic Loading Tests for Cold-Formed Steel Wall Frames with Lightweight Concrete
Lightweight steel framing is a method in housing and construction that have been widely used in lightweight steel construction. In this method, the structure is built by cold formed steel elements. They are cost-effective, light, and easy to assemble. However, the performance of lateral load resisting systems in cold-formed steel structures specially the behavior of cold-formed steel shear wall...

. This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on shear strength enhancement of reinforced concrete deep beams externally reinforced with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. A total of six deep beam specimens of two different classes, as-built (unstrengthened) and retrofitted were tested in the experimental evaluation program. Two composite systems namely carbon/epoxy...
متن کاملWorkplace protection of air-fed visors used in paint spraying operations.
Air-fed visors are commonly used for protection against exposure to airborne isocyanates during paint spraying. Protection levels for this class of equipment are theoretically adequate, yet isocyanate sensitization in this occupation still occurs. The work reported here set out to establish the level of respiratory protection that is achieved during real paint spraying activities when air-fed v...
