Human cadavers (Post-Mortem Human Subjects, PMHS) are routinely used to determine responses to impact loading for crashworthiness applications including civilian (motor vehicle) and military environments.
Rocks in engineering works and as building materials are always suffering freeze-thaw (F-T) and thermal shock (TS) weathering, and engineering rocks usually involve responses to impact loads from blasting operation, mechanized construction and seismic oscillation.
Combined with other small-body responses to impact cratering (e.g., greater widespread distribution of bouldery ejecta), such processes may also help explain the unexpected small-scale character of geology on Eros.
One of the most consequential changes of the whole body in response to impacts originating from tumors is the metabolic imbalance in tumor patients.
In 1966, he became chairman of the Head Injury Model Conference of the National Institutes of Health, a project with neurosurgeons to help understand the head's response to impact.
An energy balance approach successfully related impact response to impact severity.
The evaluation procedure is based on the measurement of electrical response to impact excitation.
However, their response to impact is complex, due to the woven architecture and rate-dependent behavior of their constituent yarns.
The visualization of thermal signatures, caused by local dissipation of impact energy, allows gaining information which is useful for understanding the material response to impact.
Human response to impact noise, generated by wheel flats and rail joints of electric trains, was investigated in a laboratory experiment.
