Polyakov et al. (1995) showed errors in dose estimation as a function of grain size for enamel grains given beta irradiation after crushing. We tested the effect of gamma irradiation applied to the specimens before and after crushing. We confirmed Polyakov's observations and found that post-crushing irradiation altered the slope of the dose-response curve of the hydroxyapatite signal and produc...

In the study of honeycomb crushing under quasistatic loading, two parameters are important, the mean crushing stress and the wavelength of the folding mode. The previous theoretical models did not consider the true cylindrical curvature effects and the flow stress in the folding mode of honeycomb material. The present paper introduces a modification on Wierzbicki’s model based on considering tw...

Sandwich tube structures bio-mimicking horsetail and human tendons offered significant improvement over traditional single multi-cell tubular energy absorbers. The present research aims to investigate three manufactured hybrid aluminum GFRP sandwich tubes subjected quasi-static low-velocity axial compression. crashworthiness characteristics crushing failure mechanisms of are discussed compared ...

Open porous lattice structures have found a wide range of applications as lightweight load‐bearing and energy absorbent in various fields. A common requirement for any application is the preliminary assessment mechanical response proposed architecture. Herein, uniform continuous functionally graded (FGLSs) made titanium alloy, Ti–6Al–4V, are designed using cubic pillar octahedron unit cells at ...

This study explores the evolution of molluscivory in the marine teleost family Sciaenidae by comparing the motor activity patterns of the pharyngeal muscles of two closely related taxa, the molluscivorous black drum (Pogonias cromis) and the generalist red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus). Muscle activity patterns were recorded simultaneously from eight pharyngeal muscles. Electromyographic (EMG) act...

The initiating explosive devices are prohibited in rock breaking near the goaf of the highly gassy mine. It is effective and applicable to cracking the hard roof with static cracking agent. By testing the static cracking of cubic limestone (size: 200 × 200 × 200 mm) with true triaxial rock mechanics testing machine under the effect of bidirectional stress and by monitoring the evolution process...

Cylindrical thin-walled tubes due to construction and easy installation, high energy absorption capacity are used in the automotive industry as an impact energy absorber. However, the main weakness of cylindrical tubes is in the high initial peak load. Therefore, in this paper, to overcome this weakness, a buckling initiator is used at the top of the tube. This buckling initiator is a steel rod...

Mainly composed of elastic materials, ship fenders are utilised on all kinds vessels for the protection berthing structures and prevention damage due to heavy crash loads. This study aims enhance deformation mode performance foam-filled under quasi-static dynamic loadings. Six models fender’s structure chosen simulation test. The examined crashworthiness parameters such as crushing force effici...

the static strain aging is a phenomenon that can change the mechanical properties of low carbon steels. thus, the static strain aging behavior of low carbon steel wires after drawing process is studied. to do so, the wires are austenitized at different temperatures and cooled in different rates. then the wires are drawn and aged at a specific temperature and time. before and after aging of each...
