"We see fatalities in the field where there's no evidence of contact with any part of the interior," says Saeed Barbat, who runs Ford Motor 's passive safety engineering department.
The passive and stimulated engineering stress-large strain mechanical properties of skeletal muscle were measured at the midbelly of the rabbit tibialis anterior.
Taking more practical conditions into account, the proposed method can be applied into automatic design of passive analog filters for engineering application without the guidance of experienced engineers.
The results obtained for the BFD are promising for its use as a passive seismic damper in engineering structures in order to improve the seismic behaviour of structures as well as dissipating the earthquake energy.
This suggests that, when thinking of practical engineering applications, passive systems based on flow-induced vibration might represent a feasible alternative, because of its simplicity, to active systems that require a more complex implementation that includes a motor to move the prism.
According to the function of useful heat gain and solar irradiance obtained through regression analyses of experimental data, a simple free running temperature prediction formula of passive solar house for engineering application was obtained, which can be expressed as the linear superposition function of three main factors, including outdoor temperature, internal gains and solar irradiance.
Accurate network performance parameters can help to improve the quality of network services, including active and passive resource management, traffic engineering, as well as providing quality of service (QoS) guarantees for end-user applications.
Recent reviews report that active learning is more effective than passive learning in undergraduate engineering and science education (Prince, 2004; Michael, 2006).
An aggressor could attempt to defeat a passive antibody defense by engineering the agent to express antigenic changes, proteases, or antibody-binding proteins.
After a general discussion of the NVH problems in automotive engineering, some principal passive and active measures are described.
