In this "primitive incantation," he danced a tender duet with Brown, strutted, flailed, leapt, stood rigid, crashed to the floor, and finally thrashed and kicked inside a plastic bag in a finale that was, in the words of the choreographer Kenneth King, "archly existential, also profoundly and magically mysterious".
The challenge is to realize more lightweight and at the same time still rigid and crash-stable car bodies, that are affordable for a large-scale production.
Computational physics can help us animate crashing rigid and deformable bodies, or fracturing solids, or splashing water, but the results are silent movies: virtually no practical algorithms exist for synthesizing synchronized sounds automatically.
The models also indicate the importance of protecting vehicles from crashes with rigid poles and tree stumps, as these are linked with greater severities and fatalities.
The structure is assumed to have stochastic properties and is studied during the crash against a rigid obstacle.
The 70 inter-city 125s still in use on the network are built to a tubular design known as "monocoque" which is intended to keep them rigid in a head-on crash.
The depth of several main parts for impact energy absorption is reduced according to the equation brought forward in this paper and the simulation results of the car crash into a rigid wall show that the method presented in this paper is valid.
These force-time histories are established by simulation techniques of crash tests on rigid barriers and are put to use on predefined geometries of piers.
The depth reducing equation is drawn from mechanical analysis and verified by finite element simulation of body parts crashing into a rigid wall.
The more rigid foundation should result in better crash protection and higher quality, with fewer squeaks and rattles.
