car body lightening and crashworthiness are two important objectives of car design. due to their excellent performance, composite materials are extensively used in the car industries. in addition, reducing the weight of vehicle is effective in decreasing the fuel consumption. hat shape energy absorber is used in car’s doors for side impact protection. the aim of these numerical models and exper...

background: the optimal strategy in percutaneous coronary intervention (pci) for coronary artery bifurcation lesions has yet to be agreed upon. we compared a strategy for stenting the main vessel to provide a complete perfusion flow in the side branch, namely thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (timi) - iii, with a strategy for intervention in both the main vessel and the side branch (mv + sb...

This is a summary of a paper which first appeared in the International Journal of Crashworthiness under the title: “Side Impact Protection Occupants in the Far-Side Seat”, Vol. 3, No. 2, pp 93-122. Readers are directed to the full paper for a more comprehensive discussion of the issues presented here. Much of the applied vehicle side impact occupant protection research to date has concentrated ...
