TUBULAR THIN-WALLED ENERGY ABSORBING STRUCTURES WITH TRIGGERS – RECENT ADVANCES
Journal Title: ROMANIAN JOURNAL OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES - APPLIED MECHANICS - Year 2018, Vol 63, Issue 3
Abstract
In the present paper the state of art review concerning recent advances in research into crashworthiness performance and energy absorption capacity of tubular thin-walled energy absorbing structures with triggers promoting the most desirable crushing process is presented. Particularly recent results of the crushing behavior analysis of thin-walled rectangular cross-section columns with non-periodically situated flaws (dents or slots) are presented. Some final remarks about further research perspectives in this field are derived.

HUMAN-ROBOT INTERACTION AND TRACKING USING LOW COST 3D VISION SYSTEMS
This paper describes a platform which allows humans to interact with robotic arms using augmented reality. Low cost “kinect” cameras (Xbox 360) are used for tracking human skeletons and locations of robot’s end effectors...
EVOLUTION OF EUROCODE 3 – AMENDMENTS TO EN 1993-1-5 FOR PLATE BUCKLING
Starting in 2010 the European Commission initiated the process of evolution of the first generation of Eurocodes. Based on Mandates M/466 EN and M/515 EN, CEN/TC250 created several expert groups which deal with this evol...
PROBABILISTIC SEISMIC VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS OF REINFORCED CONCRETE COLUMNS
Estimating the response of reinforced concrete columns to a transitory action, represented by a ground motion, is an uncertain task. The randomness of the seismic event and that of the response should be accounted for. T...
AN ANALYTICAL MODEL FOR THE STRUCTURE OF THE DETONATION WAVES. APPLICATION FOR HYPERSONIC PROPULSION
The gas flow field within an 1D normal detonation wave at variable specific heats and viscosity with temperature is considered. Such detonation waves appear in the so called air-breathing scramjet engines used at hyperso...
