A Finite-Element Model of Seated Human Body Representing the Distribution of Static Pressures and Dynamic Forces over a Rigid Seat During Vertical Vibration for Sitting Postures with Various Thigh Contact

Applied Sciences
Overall sitting comfort is related to both static pressure distribution and dynamic human–seat interaction during vibration. This study proposes a simplified finite-element model of the seated human body that could potentially be used to assess overall ...

High-speed trains: in microchannels? [PDF]

Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2016
Kahkeshani et al. (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 786, 2016, R3) have studied particle ordering in suspension flow in a rectangular microchannel. Experiments and numerical simulations reveal that inertial focusing and hydrodynamic interactions result in long-lived ‘trains’ of regularly spaced particles.

Wind Tunnel Testing on Crosswind Aerodynamic Forces Acting on Railway Vehicles

Journal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2010
This study is devoted to measure the aerodynamic forces acting on two railway trains, one of which is a high-speed train at 300km/h maximum operation speed, and the other is a conventional train at the operating speed 100km/h. The three-dimensional train

Integration of crosswind forces into train dynamic modelling [PDF]

, 2011
In this paper a new method is used to calculate unsteady wind loadings acting on a railway vehicle. The method takes input data from wind tunnel testing or from computational fluid dynamics simulations (one example of each is presented in this article ...

Multifunctional strut-plate composite lattice metamaterial for integrated acoustic, energy, and vibration management

Virtual and Physical Prototyping
In the pursuit of engineering solutions capable of managing persistent hazards such as noise, vibration, and structural impacts, materials that combine sound absorption, vibration damping, and deformation resistance are crucial.

AGAINTS AND FOR THE HIGH SPEED TRAINS’ MULTIMPLICATION [PDF]

Annals of the University of Oradea: Economic Science, 2008
In this exposure we intend to make visible the situation in which global warming is given by road and air transport, how could be revitalized railways, and how high speed trains could become a preferred mode of transport. But there is manifesting an opposition to railway development, nurtured by different interests, ranking from governments themselves,

Increased Risk of Sarcomas in Children With Congenital Anomalies: Findings From the Genetic Overlap Between Anomalies and Cancer in Kids (GOBACK) Registry Linkage Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pediatric sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of tumors that contribute disproportionately to cancer mortality in children. Although congenital anomalies are among the strongest known risk factors for childhood cancer, the risk of specific sarcoma subtypes among affected individuals has not yet been thoroughly evaluated. Procedure We

Hydrolysis behavior and mechanism of AlON powders

Materials & Design
AlON-C (∼25 μm) powders were prepared using the carbothermal reduction and nitridation (CRN) method. The powders were subsequently processed through milling to obtain AlON-M (∼1.6 μm) and AlON-F (∼456 nm).

Dietary Protein Intake and Peritoneal Protein Losses in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients lose protein in their waste dialysate, potentially increasing their risk for malnutrition. We wished to determine whether there was any association between losses and dietary protein intake (DPI). Methods DPI was assessed from 24‐h dietary recall using Nutrics software.

Tribo-Dynamic Behavior of Double-Row Cylindrical Roller Bearings Under Raceway Defects and Cage Fracture

Lubricants
High-quality data samples are essential for the early detection of bearing failures and the analysis of bearing behavior. The accurate simulation of bearing fault conditions can provide valuable insights into understanding failure mechanisms.
