This paper presents research into the energy balance of stressing conveyor belts by impact processes. Research is described in areas measuring resistance to puncture, process, and effect changes height on tensile forces. Measurements were performed a rubber–textile belt with polyamide carcass. Hammers pyramidal spherical impactors used compare examined conveyor. Values obtained for maximum ener...

BACKGROUND Modern life is full of hassles, deadlines, frustrations and demands. Mental stress or psychosocial stress is one of the major risk factor for hypertension which itself is the risk factor for various other cardiovascular diseases. OBJECTIVES To find out the prevalence of hypertension among rural study population above 40 years of age and analyze the relationship between mental stres...

Overall death from cardiovascular disease (CVD) has declined over the past 20 years; yet, the population with diabetes has seen minimal benefit (1,2). When broken out by diabetes type, individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) have approximately a 10-fold age-adjusted increased risk of CVD, even higher than that observed in those with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), with women being mor...

Residual stresses in fibre reinforced composites can give rise to a number of undesired effects such as loss of dimensional stability and premature fracture. Hence, there is significant merit in developing processing techniques to mitigate the development of residual stresses. However, tracking and quantifying the development of these fabrication-induced stresses in real-time using conventional...

In volcanic regions, reliable estimates of mechanical properties for specific volcanic events such as cyclic inflation-deflation cycles by magmatic intrusions, thermal stressing, and high temperatures are crucial for building accurate models of volcanic phenomena. This study focuses on the challenge of characterizing volcanic materials for the numerical analyses of such events. To do this, we e...
