In an automotive industry, to reduce product development time and increase quality of product, it is essential to reduce the number of physical prototypes and rely more on precise & reliable design for the final design of vehicles. This paper presents a mathematical model for the damping force of the hydraulic shock absorber which is implemented to analyse the shock absorbers mounting brackets ...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW To critically examine the mortality rates of septic shock over the last 25 years to determine if significant improvements have been accomplished. RECENT FINDINGS A gradual and progressive improvement in mortality rates associated with septic shock has been realized over the few decades. These improvements in outcome are quantitatively small but significant and they primarily...

This paper describes a new testing and analysis methodology for obtaining equivalent linear stiffness and damping of automotive shock absorbers for use in system-level chassis and vehicle computer aided engineering (CAE) models for noise and vibration prediction. Since most of the system-level CAE models in a vehicle are linear in nature, equivalent linear parameters of chassis components are m...

Acceleration, an important dynamic parameter, is used widely in researching on aircraft mechanical structure fatigue, shock and so on, as it is in proportion to force and load. Piezoelectric sensor is a kind of sensor that most widely used in measuring acceleration, is also called acceleration sensor or accelerometer, because its impulse response is excellent and is suitable for measuring shock...

the mothers may be infected during pregnancy with infectious agents. mumps induced myocarditis, especially endocardial fibroelastosis, was previously a common disease of infants but is rare now. a 25 day old male infant admitted to the intensive care of our hospital because of cardiogenic shock. further studies revealed ischemic electrocardiograms, poor ventricular function, and positive result...

Shock Induces a Deficit in the Recovery of Function after a Contusion Injury: Identifying the Relative Contributions of the Brain and Spinal Cord. (August 2005) Anne Caroline Bopp, B. S., Indiana State University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. James W. Grau Prior studies have shown that exposure to uncontrollable stimulation can have a variety of adverse consequences on plasticity. For exampl...

OBJECTIVE Limited evidence exists on the use of corticosteroids in pediatric shock. We sought to determine physicians' practices and beliefs with regard to the management of pediatric shock. DESIGN Cross-sectional, Internet-based survey. SETTING Canada. SUBJECTS Physicians identified as practicing pediatric intensive care in any of 15 academic centers. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Seve...
