A new Approach for experimental evaluation of contact stresses
(2005)n metal forming operations, t he intensity and distribution o f stresses at the tool/material interface have great influence on the pattern and mode of deformation. This is due to the effect ... -
A Comparison of Coherence Based Acoustic Source Identification Techniques
(2005)Four techniques of source identification are examined and the performance of each evaluated with experimental data. The procedures are all frequency domain methods and depend to some extent on the coherence function. The ... -
Under surface pressure sensing technique for the evaluation of contact stresses
(2005)In metal forming operations, the intensity and distribution of stresses at the tool/material interface have great influence on the pattern and mode of deformation. This is due to the effect of frictional forces, being ... -
Sports Utility Vehicles and vulnerable road users
(British Medical Journal, 2006)Two independent trends in the developed world are likely to reverse some of the hard won improvements that have been made in road safety. One is the ageing of the population; the other the increase in the use of sports ... -
Pedestrian Risk from Cars and Sport Utility Vehicles - A Comparative Analytical Study
(2006)Analysis of real-world crash data from the USA shows that 11.5 per cent of pedestrians struck by large sport utility vehicles (SUVs) are killed, compared with 4.5 per cent of pedestrians struck by passenger cars. The ... -
Characterization of a single 90-degrees 'UREAD' energy channel
(2006)Most engineering products are designed to either deliver or withstand a specific maximum force or level of energy. It is important however that the design of a struct ure or a machine incorporates an external or ... -
Analysis of tool cavity stresses in channel angular extrusion
(2006)The Channel Angular Extrusion (CAE) technique is a process, in which a deformable solid material is led to yielding through the intersection of inclined c hannels. Compared to classic plastic deformation, ... -
The influence of expansion rates on mandibular distraction osteogenesis: a computational analysis
(Springer, 2007)Mandibular distraction osteogenesis is a clinical procedure used for modifying the mandibular geometry when problems of dental overcrowding and arch shrinkage occur. The objective of this study is to use a computational ... -
Mechanobiology of embryonic limb development
(2007)Considerable evidence exists to support the hypothesis that mechanical forces have an essential role in healthy embryonic skeletal development. Clinical observations and experimental data indicate the importance of muscle ...
