Blast Load Simulation of Floating Barricade System to Protect Anchored Vessels

submitted by: Risknology
Simulation created using the CFD code named CEBAM (Computational Explosion And Blast Assessment Model). CEBAM is capable of simulating blast loads from high explosive, vapor clouds, and bursting vessels. Floating barricade system used to increase standoff and hence reduce blast loading on anchored vessels. Research performed by Risknology, Inc.

Blast on Humvee from an IED

Robust source-seeking hybrid controllers for nonholonomic vehicles (experiment)

submitted by: mayhew
This video shows an experiment involving a mobile robot, an IR-camera vision system, and a wireless network. The robot queries the vision system for position information. The robot uses this position information to simulate a potential function in its environment. The hybrid controller uses these measurements in a coordination of vehicle steering and an optimization algorithm to drive the vehicle to the minimum of the function (shown as a blue 'x').

Safe Hydrogel Padding: use in safe clothing

submitted by: GZE
Polymer effect (Hydrogel particles inside PU melt matrix):
The polymer coating will absorb and bind the excess of moisture migrating through the FR cotton fabric if the temperature is maintained below the threshold.
In case temperature increases, the coating will release the sweat accumulated, reproducing the human natural sweating process through evaporative cooling.

Oricalco - thermal shape memory fabric

submitted by: GZE
The first orthogonal weaving example of Nitinol. The 'Thermal Shape Memory Alloy' is characterized by its extraordinary ability to recover any shape, pre-programmed, upon heating. Until today this light weight alloy with about 50% Titanium inside has been used in advanced sectors like space and recently in medical applications. Moreover this fabric is the first for which the shape memory alloy, named Nitinol, was weaved orthogonally that is to say that Oricalco is the first fabric with...
