In the pharmaceutical industry, it is always important to have reproducible processes and raw materials of high quality to ensure good quality products. AstraZeneca, that is a leading manufacturer of different pharmaceuticals, works according to GMP to make sure that their processes deliver products of the same quality every time. A problem that has occurred at AstraZeneca is when a raw materia...

Composite corrugatedor honeycomb-type multilayer structures are considered for the use as cushioning elements for protection against shocks and vibration. Numerical model for prediction of the dynamic response of such structures to obtain the cushioning response maps and shock response spectrum maps in order to select the optimum static stress is presented, and results of simulations are discus...

Silicon (Si) is a promising anode material for next-generation Li-ion batteries. The nanometer-sized Si could alleviate the pulverization caused by large volume changes during deep cycling. However, compression between agglomerated particles causes cracking and electrode failure. Considering this, we engineered mechanical cushioning space via elastic hollow graphene shells (GSs) to flexibly buf...

Effect of air cushion layer right before impact of a rigid body onto water surface has been investigated in this paper. The study is mainly focused on evaluation of cushioning pressure and the resulting free surface elevation. The air flow is assumed to be an irrotational flow which is governed by Laplace equation. The air problem and the resulting response of the water free surface are suppose...
