Estimations of rip current rescues and drowning in the United States [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2019 Rip currents are the greatest hazard to swimmers on surf beaches, but due to a lack of consistent incident reporting in many countries, it is often difficult to quantify the number of rip-current-related rescues and drowning deaths occurring along surf ...

Lessons on the Rip Current Hazard from Survivor Experiences
, 2022 Rip currents are strong, narrow, and fast-flowing currents of water that initiate along the shorelines of many beaches globally. They are considered a major hazard to beach users and are responsible for most surf rescues conducted by lifeguards and ...

Electrified Damage in Motion Systems
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.The electrified damage in motion systems is a fundamental framework presenting the degradation pathway arising from the coupling of electrical energy transport with mechanical contact and interfacial chemistry. The framework positions electrified damage as a distinct degradation regime with unique characteristic surface morphologies and failures of ...

Hybrid Metal–Carbon Ink for Printed Stretchable Temperature Sensors
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.We prepare conductive inks for temperature sensing with silver flakes and carbon or graphite flakes in a silicone elastomer matrix. Silver dominates the temperature‐dependent conductivity, while the carbon filler network ensures the stability of the conductive pathways and retains function under strain.

Pulsing and circulation in rip current system
, 2004 Current pulsations from a longshore bar and trough rip system located on the eastern coast of Moreton Island, Australia are presented. These pulsations occur over 10-20minute intervals through the rip system and are correlated to both water level ...
