Assessing the Compressive and Impact Behavior of Plastic Safety Toe Caps through Computational Modelling [PDF]
Polymers, 2021 Toe caps are one of the most important components in safety footwear, but have a significant contribution to the weight of the shoe. Efforts have been made to replace steel toe caps by polymeric ones, since they are lighter, insulated and insensitive to magnetic fields.

Study on the impact behaviour of a new safety toe cap model made of ultra-high-strength steels
Materials and Design, 2016 Abstract In this study the crashworthy performance of an ultimate safety toe cap model made of high-strength steel was evaluated. The structural response to impact loading conditions under normative requirements was properly related to the potential of lightweight design for a significant thickness reduction.

Comparative life cycle assessment of safety shoes toe caps manufacturing processes [PDF]
International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, 2022 AbstractToe caps are fundamental components of safety footwear used to prevent injuries, which can be caused by falling objects. They can be realized by exploiting different materials (metal, composites, and polymers) and manufacturing processes (stamping, injection molding, compression molding, etc.). However, they have always to fulfill the stringent

Numerical Simulation of Quasi-Static Compression Behavior of the Toe Cap Component for Safety Footwear [PDF]
International Journal of Computer Theory and Engineering, 2014 Geometrical changes can improve stiffness substantially. The project S3 - Safety Slim Shoe presents the potential to reduce the weight in safety toe cap components combining a new geometric redesign deeply associated to local stiffeners to realize the full potential of AHSS - Advanced High Strength Steels.

Thermal Analysis of Safety Shoe Toe Cap
International Journal of Innovative Technology and Exploring Engineering, 2019 Shoe toe bonnets/caps are the shielding equipment worn in the production company to care for workers' feet from heat. Steel is generally used for safety heavy toe shoe caps that have high thermal conductivity but now the usage of polymer material is growing because of the low pressure & less thermal conductivity.

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...
