Safety Performance Evaluation of a Novel Portable Concrete Barrier Based on Vehicle Impact Test
Journal of Advanced Transportation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Portable concrete barriers (PCBs) are modular structures widely used to separate traffic lanes from construction zones. However, these barriers often exhibit insufficient structural safety to effectively block intruding vehicles, leading to severe casualties.

Crashworthiness of Safe Fuels [PDF]
ASME 1972 International Gas Turbine and Fluids Engineering Conference and Products Show, 1972 Safety fuels such as emulsified and gelled fuels have been studied over the past several years as one means for reducing the post-crash fire hazard associated with aircraft accidents. However, through the work described herein, only recently has a quantitative evaluation been made to characterize the safety performance of these fuels.

Engineering Reports, Volume 7, Issue 12, December 2025.Bio‐inspired PLA‐hemp sandwich cores with honeycomb and lotus root geometries were 3D printed and tested. Lotus designs showed superior damping and stable dynamic response, while honeycomb cores offered higher stiffness. Simulations matched experiments closely. ABSTRACT This study investigates the elastic behavior and dynamic mechanical response of bio‐
