Assessing the behavior of composite structures which are subjected to impact loads is one of the important subjects in the field of mechanical sciences. Using thin-walled tubes which collapsed and absorbed the impact energy is a well-known method to prevent damages to the other parts of the structures. In this paper, deformations, crushing length, peak load, mean force and energy absorption cap...

In this study, Quasi-Static Punch Shear Test (QS-PST) for AISI-304 stainless steel sheet material with 0.5 mm thickness was performed experimentally and numerically, then the results were compared. QS-PST designed non-standard according to need is especially used determine puncture resistance of composite plate materials against low-speed loading. Since obtained from are similar those ballistic...

In the published literature there are controversial data to the biomechanical stability of monocortical comparing to the bicortical fixation of metacarpal fractures. The aim of this study was to compare the biomechanical stability of monocortical and bicortical locking osteosynthesis in quasi-static and dynamic 4-point bending tests of composite third metacarpal bone (4th Gen third metacarpal, ...

One of the parameters identified as influencing the structural response of buildings is the dynamic Modulus of Elasticity of masonry. The Longitudinal Vibration Test Method and the Ultrasonic Pulse Methods were developed for the dynamic testing of concrete specimens. These two dynamic procedures are to be tested on masonry prisms to provide a verification of the methods. The first aim of this p...
