Geometric and scale effects on energy absorption of structural composites [PDF]
PhDThe challenge faced by structural designers is becoming increasingly difficult as the imposed design criteria of energy absorbing structures requires weight reduction of structures without compromising cost and crushing performance.

Origami Metamaterials Based on Low-Melting-Point Alloy Phase Transition: Breaking the Trade-Off Between Reusability and Energy Absorption Quality. [PDF]
This work presents an origami metamaterial that integrates a low‐melting‐point alloy skeleton into an elastomeric shell. It dissipates energy through the metal's plastic deformation and recovers through the solid–liquid phase transition of the alloy together with the hyperelasticity of the shell.

Crush Injuries and the Crush Syndrome [PDF]
Combat related injuries bring untold misery to the victims and their loved ones. While injuries to vital organs cause immediate death, delayed mortality after reaching a hospital may occur due to several reasons, rhabdomyolysis or the crush syndrome being the most important. Crush syndrome predominantly affects the kidneys leading to renal failure, but

Exploring the Consequences of Crowd Compression Through Physics-Based Simulation
Statistical analysis of accidents in recent years shows that crowd crushes have become significant non-combat, non-environmental public disasters. Unlike common accidents such as fires, crowd crushes may occur without obvious external causes, and may ...

On the dynamic crushing of open-cell aluminum foams [PDF]
textThis study was designed to examine the effect of impact velocity on the crushing behavior of open-cell aluminum foam over a range of velocities similar to what would be encountered for impact mitigation and blast protection applications.
