GLARE (GLAss REinforced) belongs to a family of fibre-metal laminates currently being used as a skin material for the upper and side shells in the forward and rear fuselage body of A380. This composite material consists of thin layers of aluminium sheets and unidirectional prepreg layers of glass fibres embedded into an epoxy based matrix. GLARE demonstrates excellent resistance to fatigue crac...

Impact is one of very important subjects which always have been considered in mechanical science. Nature of impact is such that which makes its control a hard task. Therefore it is required to present the transfer of impact to other vulnerable part of a structure, when it is necessary, one of the best method of absorbing energy of impact, is by using Thin-walled tubes these tubes collapses unde...

Incidence of upper-limb overuse injuries among the manual wheelchair population has been found to be associated with hand-rim loading characteristics such as impact and peak loading on the hand rim during propulsion. One proposed method to reduce impact and peak loading is the use of a compliant hand rim, one that can displace relative to the wheel when impacted by the hand. A Variable Complian...

The current study presents synthesis and characterization of high impact polystyrene - TiO2 nanoparticles mixed matrix membranes for separation of carbon dioxide from nitrogen. The solution-casting method was used for preparation of membranes. The nano mixed matrix membranes were characterized using scanning electron microscopy to ensure the suitable dispersion of nano particles in high impact ...
