Comparison of the results to baseline tests with industry standard impact absorbing foam, wherein the spines exhibit similar energy absorption, verifies the dynamic impact absorption capabilities of hedgehog spines and their candidacy as a structural model for engineered impact technology.
In this paper, several widely used material models for plain concrete under dynamic loading, especially the Concrete Damage model and the Elastic Plastic Hydrodynamic model are evaluated so as to determine an appropriate material model for engineered cementitious composite (ECC) materials under dynamic loading.
By combining X-ray absorption spectroscopy and first principles calculations we have determined the electronic structure of synthetic and natural kaolinite as a model system for engineered and natural clay materials.
Most of its meat is in its eight arms, which are so elegant an evolutionary design that they've become a model for robotics engineers, who call them "hyperredundant manipulators".
The feasibility of tailoring the moisture resistance of bioadhesives by activating relaxation-controlled diffusion mechanisms is demonstrated herein using gelatin, a hydrophilic biopolymer, as a model biobased resin for engineered wood products.
Most recently, a model for ICF syndrome has been engineered by generating Dnmt3b mutations in mice [18].
Academics have studied the company's benefit-enhanced corporate culture as a model for nurturing creativity and loyalty among engineers and other workers.
Fracture mechanics based flexural model for layered engineered cementitious composite (ECC -concrete bECC -concreteed.
A material model for hybrid-fibre engineered cementitious composites (ECC) under impact loading is developed and calibrated in this paper, and size effect, appropriate erosion criteria and strain rate effect are investigated and accounted for in the model.
This study proposes a paradigm model for designers, engineers and scientists, using three barriers to separate the professions.
