The responses of metallic plates and sandwich panels to localized impulse are examined by using a dynamic plate test protocol supported by simulations. The fidelity of the simulation approach is assessed by comparing predictions of the deformations of a strong-honeycomb-core panel with measurements. The response is interpreted by comparing and contrasting the deformations with those experienced...

in this paper the design, implementation, and evaluation of an experimental-scale potato yield monitoring system is presented. the main objective of this research was to develop a method for accurate mapping of potato yield. at the first stage an instantaneous yield monitoring system was mounted on a potato harvesting machine. this system consisted of a weighing tray, two load cells, a shaft rp...

In this paper, the periodic double-layer graphene ribbon arrays placed near a metallic ground plate coated by a dielectric layer are proposed and analyzed by the coupled-mode theory (CMT) to predict the perfect absorption response in the mid-infrared region. Numerical simulations of the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method confirm this effect and give the underlying physical origin. The ...

Goods that are shipped world-wide travel protected by packages that are frequently made of corrugated board. Therefore, the strength of corrugated board containers is crucial for preserving the content, while an optimization of corrugated board containers is essential to save money and resources. Unfortunately, standard compression tests show a wide dispersion in container performance, and so, ...
