The development of projectile guidance requires consideration of a large number of
possible flight scenarios with various system parameters. In this paper, the Monte-Carlo …

Locusts (Schistocerca gregaria) jump using a latch mediated spring actuated system in the
femur-tibia joint of their metathoracic legs. These jumps are exceptionally fast and display …

Structural strength and hydraulic capacity are two essential parameters in the assessment of
the need for sewer rehabilitation. Especially concrete pipes suffer from loss of wall thickness …

Advanced Flight Dynamics aim to integrate the subjects of aircraft performance, trim and
stability/control in a seamless manner. Advanced Flight Dynamics highlights three key and …

Directional presplit blasting (DPB) technology for an innovative no-pillar mining approach is
introduced. First, a mechanical model is established to analyze crack initiation and …

Wave Power is one of the most investigated energy sources today. So far, several devices
have been tested and built up to the pre-commercial stage. ISWEC (Inertial Sea Wave …

Floquet engineering is a convenient strategy to induce nonequilibrium phenomena in
molecular and solid-state systems, or to dramatically alter the physicochemical properties of …

Springs are critical components in mining vibrating screen elastic supports. However, long-
term alternating loads are likely to lead to spring failures, likely resulting in structural …

Various models of a projectile in a resisting medium are used. Some are very simple, like the
“point mass trajectory model”, others, like the “rigid body trajectory model”, are complex and …

The human activities in the offshore oil and gas, renewable energy and construction industry
require reliable data acquired by different types of hydrographic sensors: DGNSS …
