The experimental observations from full-scale impact tests undertaken at the Motor Industry Research Association are first presented.
The approach is based on a reliable numerical modelling validated by several experimental tests that include both component tests and full-scale impact tests.
The work presented herein represents a unique perspective into this critical area by describing the evaluation of full-scale impact damage with respect to the structures undamaged state.
A nonlinear dynamic finite element model of a standard shipping container including contents is developed and validated by comparing with the full-scale impact experiments.
The proposed design procedure, applied to a barrier structure with nominal energy level of 3500 kJ, is assessed by a full-scale impact test, proving that the design approach is reliable and efficient.
Yet in the absence of a credible plan outlining when and how Brexit will happen, it is impossible to predict the full scale of its impact.
However, demand, especially among men most at risk for HIV infection, remains a barrier to realizing the program's full scale and potential impact.
Since estimates of the residual stress are necessarily limited by the lack of three-dimensional strain data in the LV, the results presented herein are therefore primarily illustrative, and may not give the full scale of the impact of residual stress in the LV.
This volume presents the authors' reaction to reports, such as those from the Chernobyl Forum (organized by the International Atomic Energy Agency in cooperation with eight other international organizations and the governments of Belarus, Russian Federation, and Ukraine), that have not shown the full scale of negative impacts that have resulted from the Chernobyl accident.
"The full scale of this economic impact is probably unknown and is one of the reasons behind Prof Ian Hargreaves' call to map the creative industries sector in Wales in his recent report 'The Heart of Digital Wales'".
Second, the focus is on the discovery and management of uncertainties as they appear along the project: before the innovation is introduced to society in its full scale with possible broad negative impacts.
