Towards Safer Helmets: Characterisation, Modelling and Monitoring [PDF]

, 2016
Bike and ski helmets are mainly made up of two layers: the external shell and the foam liner. The foam liner, typically made of expanded polystyrene (EPS) or polypropylene (EPP), is asked to provide energy absorption in case of impacts.

Lightweight Concrete Produced Using a Two-Stage Casting Process [PDF]

, 2015
The type of lightweight aggregate and its volume fraction in a mix determine the density of lightweight concrete. Minimizing the density obviously requires a higher volume fraction, but this usually causes aggregates segregation in a conventional mixing ...
