In this paper, numerical simulation of FRP composite cylinder tubes progressive crushing processes is conducted using LS-Dyna. Details on the numerical modeling strategy are given and discussed. It is found that triggers introduced in the numerical simulation can effectively model the bevel trigger at the end of the tubular specimens. It is also found that two-layer finite element model based o...

This study investigated 24 tablet crushing devices for drug loss using different methods to recover the crushed tablet. 24 devices were compared: 3 with disposable cups, 6 with disposable bags, 12 without separate vessels and 3 types of mortar and pestle. One paracetamol tablet was crushed and recovered by tapping the powder out. Where appropriate, depending on crusher size and manufacturer ins...

assessing the behavior of composite structures which are subjected to impact loads is one of the important subjects in the field of mechanical sciences. using thin-walled tubes which collapsed and absorbed the impact energy is a well-known method to prevent damages to the other parts of the structures. in this paper, deformations, crushing length, peak load, mean force and energy absorption cap...

Lightweight Clay Aggregate (LWCA) is a kind of highly porous granular particle which often used as lightweight backfilling geomaterials. However, the easy breakage LWCA plays negative role in its geotechnical application. This study focuses on internal structure and compressive behavior single using experiments numerical simulations. The uniaxial strength loading stiffness attributed to special...

high performance fiber reinforced cementitious composite (hpfrcc) materials exhibit strain hardening behavior with multiple cracking under tensile loading. in this paper, experimental and parametric studies are performed to assess the influence of using hpfrcc material instead of normal concrete in reinforced concrete beams. after calibrating the experimental results, the analytical results inc...

Lansoprazole fast-disintegrating tablet (LFDT) is a new patient-friendly formulation of lansoprazole. Since lansoprazole is an antiulcer agent and is unstable under acidic conditions, we have developed LFDT as an orally disintegrating tablet containing enteric-coated microgranules. The effect of compression on dissolution behavior was investigated, as compression affected cleavage and crushing ...

This study set out to assess the respirable mass, surface area, and number concentrations of the alpha-quartz content particles (C(r-m), C(r-s) and C(r-n)) to which workers were exposed in six different exposure groups, the raw material handling (n=10), crushing (n=12), mixing (n=12), forming (n=10), furnace (n=10), and packaging (n=10), in a refractory material manufacturing plant. For C(r-m),...
