This paper presents a user-friendly rapid prediction tool of damage to struck and striking vessels in a ship collision event. To do this, the so-called upper bound theorem is applied to calculate internal forces and energies of any substructure involved in the ships crushing process. At each increment of indentation, the total crushing force is transmitted to the external dynamics MCOL program,...

ABSTRACT The present study evaluates shoulder kinematics of the Hybrid III and THOR NT, with the first version of a new shoulder design (SD-1), in 45° far-side, full frontal and 30° near-side collisions. In total eleven dummy tests were conducted in the three collision angles, while film and instrument data were generated and compared with those of PMHS data from Törnvall (2008). For the 45° fa...

This paper presents experimental measurements of the approach and rebound of a particle colliding obliquely with a wall in a viscous fluid. Steel and glass particles 12.7mm in diameter were used. The experiments were performed using a thick Zerodur wall (a glass-like material) with various mixtures of glycerol and water. Normal and tangential coefficients of restitution were defined from the ra...

[1] Oblique convergence is the general rule along convergent boundaries. Such convergence produces asymmetric deformation (topography) along the collision boundary. To quantify this asymmetry, we develop a method that allows us to calculate the asymmetry in topography with respect to a reference line drawn perpendicular to the collision boundary. The asymmetry in topography is presented as a nu...

The northeast Banda margin is affected by the arc-continent collision between Australian continental and arc. Unlike margin-parallel strike-slip faults in other subduction zones, margin-oblique Seram-Kumawa Shear Zone (SKSZ) has greatly deformed forearc with 80 km displacement along plate boundary. It trends ∼ WNW-ESE comprising Kawa shear zone (KSZ, >200 km) on Seram island Kumawa fault (KF, o...

purpose : to evaluate the results of anterior and nasal transposition (ant) of the inferior oblique muscle (io) in patients with the io muscle overaction methods : this retrospective case series included patients with io muscles overaction, in whom ant of the io muscle was performed. in patient with simultaneous horizontal deviation, horizontal strabismus surgery was also performed. they were e...
