In order to study the anti-penetration mechanism of composite structures and influence foamed aluminum on performance structures, two were designed processed. Penetration tests carried out finite element models established correctness verified. The results show that has a cushioning effect can reduce ceramic damage. However, cannot provide support for deformation Kevlar, which leads shear damag...

BACKGROUND Foot orthoses are frequently used in sports for the treatment of overuse complaints with sufficient evidence available for certain foot-related overuse pathologies like plantar fasciitis, rheumatoid arthritis and foot pain (e.g., metatarsalgia). One important aim is to reduce plantar pressure under prominent areas like metatarsal heads. For the forefoot region, mainly two common stra...

— We examine the cyclical properties of development aid using bilateral data for 22 donors and 113 recipients during 1970–2005. We find that bilateral aid flows are on average procyclical with respect to the business cycle in both donor and recipient countries. While aid outlays contract sharply during severe downturns in donor countries, they rise steeply when aid-receiving countries experienc...

A solid plate about to slam onto a water surface makes it presence felt before the actual contact by squeezing out mediating air cushioning layer. This layer has regions of low and high pressures. At point (stagnation) pressure, is deflected away from impactor. While in pressure region, Kelvin-Helmholtz instability initiates suction towards Using new measuring technique we measure such deflecti...
