Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStrengthening of Laminated Glass Windows against Windborne Debris ImpactXihong Zhang, Qingfei Meng, Chiara Bedon, Piotr W. SielickiThis paper presents numerical modelling to study potential mitigation methods to improve the impact resistance performance of laminated glass windows against timber windborne debris impact. A detailed numerical model of laminated glass window is generated and validated with laboratory impact tests. The influence of supporting frames made of different stiffness materials is examined. Numerical simulation shows that boundary condition has … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 16 Nov 2020 · 6,883 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOverview of Space Debris Mitigation Activities in ISROSantosh KosambeFor several decades orbital debris has been identified as a serious concern by all space-faring agencies and nations as it potentially threatens the current and future space endeavors. The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is well aware of the current space debris scenario and is committed to achieving the goal of preserving outer-space for humanity. ISRO works on different aspects … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 20 Sep 2019 · 8,116 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSpace Debris Removal Mechanism Using CubeSat with Gun Shot FacilitiesShankar Bhattarai, Jie-Rou ShangSpace derbies is a very perilous problem and most of the proposed methods for space debris removal are not successfully serviceable for all sized space junk. Keeping in view the limitation of the existing methods of debris removal techniques an active approach is needed and in this regard required to be instigated purposefully. In more than half a century of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 9 · 15 Nov 2018 · 8,211 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAn Applied Study on the Debris Recycling in TunnellingPierpaolo Oreste, Marta CastellanoProblem statement: A simple calculation has shown what the impact of muck created during the construction of a hypothetical 50 km long and 100 m2 cross section tunnel could be on the environment: around 8 million cubic meters would have to be discharged as waste material. One solution to such a problem could be to recycle (almost a part) the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 27 Mar 2012 · 7,518 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleImpact of Earthquake Demolition Debris on the Quality of GroundwaterM. S. Benmenni, K. BenrachediProblem statement: Debris from construction or demolition/deconstruction processes have no significant impact on the environment as they are res-usable and inert. This has been also long admitted for solid waste generated by the demolition of damaged cities following violent earthquakes. Approach: This study is a contribution to the assessment of actual impact on the quality of groundwater of buried demolition … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,236 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePore Water Pressure Contribution to Debris Flow MobilityChiara DeangeliProblem statement: Debris flows are very to extremely rapid flows of saturated granular soils. Two main types of debris flow are generally recognized: Open slope debris flows and channelized debris flows. The former is the results of some form of slope failures, the latter can develop along preexisting stream courses by the mobilization of previously deposited debris blanket. The problem … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2009 · 6,588 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRadar Cross Section Modelling and Analysis of Static and Dynamic Targets using MATLABPunam Pande, Sreemathy R, Mousami TurukRadar Cross Section (RCS) is an important characteristic of the electromagnetic system for target detection. This study presents detailed modelling of Radar Cross Section (RCS) of static simple objects like sphere, cylinder, triangular plate, circular flat plate, truncated cone and complex objects using MATLAB Radar toolbox. The RCS modelling of simple objects is also done with MATLAB POFACET GUI 4.3 … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 21 Mar 2022 · 11,024 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEXPOSURE TO SWINE HOUSING DUST MODULATES MACROPHAGE MORPHOLOGY AND FUNCTIONRuth J. Pender, Radiah C. Minor, Steven L. Hurley et al.Swine Confinement Facility (SCF) dust consists of a complex mixture of feed grain particles, bacterial components, organic particulates and gases. When these particles are inhaled they deposit along the respiratory tract and mediate respiratory symptoms and disease in swine farmers and facility workers. Macrophages ingest and eliminate microbes and debris under chronic conditions; however, the role of macrophages in agricultural-related … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2014 · 7,606 accessesView PDFCite
