ON THE EFFECTS CAUSED BY THE SHOCK DURING RAILWAY VEHICLE BUFFING
Journal Title: ROMANIAN JOURNAL OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES - APPLIED MECHANICS - Year 2011, Vol 56, Issue 2
Abstract
A theory of shock caused by the buffing of railway vehicles is presented. It considers kinematic parameters and forces as response of the mechanical system caused by the vehicles that are effectively taking part in the buffing.

EFFECT OF DENSITY, ANISOTROPY AND TEMPERATURE ON DYNAMIC COMPRESSION BEHAVIOUR OF PUR FOAMS
Polyurethane (PUR) foam is ideally suited as packing materials or dampers for many safety applications because of its chemical and design versatility and excellent energy absorbing properties. For this purpose, this pape...
COMBINED XFEM-COHESIVE FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSES OF SINGLE-LAP JOINTS
Cohesive Zone Modelling (CZM) and eXtended Finite Element Modelling (XFEM) available in Abaqus® are used together to simulate the behaviour and strength of a single-lap adhesively bonded joint. A distinct CZM model is al...
A VIRTUAL INTERNAL BOND MODEL FOR HYSTERETIC MEDIA
In this paper, the properties of the hysteretic media are investigated via the virtual internal bond model (VIB) derived from the hyperelasticity with the integration of the 6–12 Lennard-Jones atomic interacting potentia...
SONOELASTIC DETERMINATION OF THE KNEE CARTILAGE ELASTICITY
Sonoelasticity and Doppler imaging are applied in this paper to detect the damage process of the knee cartilage. The cartilage is a firm, thick, slippery tissue that acts as a protective cushion between bones. It is pres...
BEHAVIOUR OF PLASMONIC NANOPARTICLE-GENERATED CAVITATION BUBBLES
The transient dynamics of cavitation nanobubbles generated through the irradiation of gold nanoparticles, via the particle's plasmonic resonance, very close to the threshold laser fluence for bubble formation, is investi...
