purpose: since explosive blasts continue to cause casualties in both civil and military environments, there is a need for an understanding of the mechanisms of blast trauma at the human organ level, plus a more detailed predictive methodology. the primary goal of this research was to develop a finite element model capable of predicting primary blast injury to the lung so as to assist in the dev...

Calculation of the specific charge and specific drilling before a blasting operation plays a significant role in the design of a blasting pattern and the reduction of the final extraction cost of minerals. In this work, the information from the Sungun, Miduk and Chah-Firouzeh copper mines in Iran was assessed, and it was found that there was a significant relationship between the specific charg...

vibration generated by vehicles during road transport has an important effect on the agricultural products damage process, particularly vegetable and fruit. modulus of elasticity is one of the most important mechanical properties of fruits and its variation can be described as one of the damage criteria during transportation. this research was conducted to evaluate the effects of vibration para...

Blasting is an essential part of any mining or civil engineering project along with all the benefits that it brings, such as cost and time effectiveness, safety. Still, there are a few downsides to blasting. Ground oscillation velocity most significant impact blasting has been studied broadly. However, not measured values should be used for PPV (peak particle velocity) predictor model developme...

this research is carried out to design and manufacturing of lathe vibration tool and their tests. firstly, one-dimensional vibration tool is designed and made of the bending vibration mode. one-dimensional vibration tool with half piezoelectric rings is considered to excite the bending mode of tool. structure of vibration tool is designed in abaqus software about 20 khz and then is made with re...

Physiological alterations, anxiety, and cognitive disorders are strongly associated with blast-induced traumatic brain injury (blast TBI), and are common symptoms in service personnel exposed to blasts. Since 2006, 25,000-30,000 new TBI cases are diagnosed annually in U.S. Service members; increasing evidence confirms that primary blast exposure causes diffuse axonal injury and is often accompa...

to determine rice yield loss resulting from blast disease (magnaporthe grisea) at the corp's different growth stages, a field experiment was conducted at the rice research institute of iran, rasht. rice local cultivar hashemi was transplanted to 3×4m plots for the experimental treatments (time of disease evaluation) each treatment was replicated 4 times. under natural infection conditions,...

Rice blast is a destructive disease caused by Magnaporthe oryzae, and it has a large impact on rice production worldwide. Compared with leaf blast resistance, our understanding of panicle blast resistance is limited. The japonica landrace Jiangnanwan from Taihu Lake region in China shows highly resistance to panicle and leaf blast. In this study, three generations (F2:5, F2:6, F2:7) consisting ...

Given the sophisticated nature of the blast phenomenon in relation to structures, it is of significance to accurately investigate the structure behavior under blast loads. Due to its rapid and transient nature, blast loading is one of the most important dynamic loadings on the structures. Since masonry materials are widely used as the partition and bearing walls in the existing and newly-built ...

background: deficiency of attention and concentration is one of great reasons of traffic incidents and it covers between 20 to 50 percent of events due to careless and mindedness. studies show that attention and concentration are considered as one of important cognitive components in safe driving. vibration is an important physical effect in all vehicles. till now has not been any organized stu...
