Wire nets woven from high-strength steel wires have been used as applique armor against attack by short-range weapons. In this study, the mechanical behavior of chain-link wire under pressure a warhead was investigated quasistatic experiments and simulations. First, new rig, device, were designed; tests conducted; deformation, fracture nets, force vs. displacement curves obtained analyzed. Then...

1473 COVER The Genesis Concentrator target (6 centimeters in diameter), bearing atoms from the solar wind, is disentangled from its support frame and wire mesh following the crash of the sample return capsule in the Utah desert in 2004. Analyses of an unbroken silicon carbide quadrant (top) reveal the initial oxygen and nitrogen isotopic compositions of the solar system, which are distinctly di...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of the use of wire nets of various mesh sizes to enhance biosecurity in the poultry industry in Brazil by preventing other bird species from entering chicken houses. The Brazilian poultry industry is technologically advanced and employs updated technology. The current Brazilian guidelines recommend the use of 25.40 mm mesh. However, scientifi...

Wireless mesh networking is one of the most promising next generation network technologies. A wireless mesh network is a decentralized, self-organizing, self-configuring and self-healing multi-hop wireless network. In this thesis, we introduce the development, architectures, characteristics and applications of wireless mesh networks and present the existing channel assignments and routing proto...

Cryogen spray cooling (CSC) protects the epidermal layer during dermatologic laser surgery (DLS) of superficial vascular lesions. Because of spray characteristics the protection provided radially is relatively uniform only by the spray axis. The present work explores mass-deposition passive-control during CSC in order to increase the radial homogeneity of heat extraction. A stainless steel mesh...

We use a wire mesh mask placed in a dispersive region of the Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) at Brookhaven National Laboratory to produce a train of equidistant drive microbunches followed by witness bunch. This type of electron microbunch structure is appropriate for plasma wakefield accelerator experiments. These experiments aim at demonstrating the enhancement of the accelerating field when ...

For revision knee surgery with uncontained tibial bone defects, the authors report the containment of compacted morsellized allograft using metal-wire mesh, followed by implantation of a cemented total knee prosthesis. This method is comparable to the "impaction grafting technique" described for revision hip surgery and could be an alternative to metal wedges, augmented components, custom-made ...

A shear-induced structure (SIS) is formed under appropriate concentration and shear conditions in a surfactant micellar solution. In this study, we performed experiments of solution dosing fully developed two-dimensional turbulent channel flow from sintered metallic wire mesh plate attached to side wall. We investigated the behavior elongation during its passing through strong due flow. It was ...
