The potential of blast induced traumatic brain injury from the mechanism of localized cavitation of the cerebral spinal fluid is investigated. While the mechanism and criteria for non-impact blast-induced TBI injury is still unknown, this study demonstrates that local cavitation in the CSF layer of the cranial volume could contribute to these injur...

Cavitation was investigated as a possible damage mechanism for war-related traumatic brain injury (TBI) due to an improvised explosive device (IED) blast. When a frontal blast wave encounters the head, a shock wave is transmitted through the skull, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and tissue, causing negative pressure at the contrecoup that may result in...

One of the problems encountered in supporting large payloads by a cable system exposed to longitudinal excitation simulating ocean wave motion is referred to as cable snap. This is due to a combination of wave amplitude and frequency that causes slack in the cable which subsequently becomes taut and experiences a severe impact load. This phenomenon...

The long-term goals of the mine vulnerability task are to: (1) Identify key damage mechanisms leading to the development of kill criteria for explosive neutralization of a variety of anti-tank, and anti-personnel Surf Zone (SZ) threat mines, (2) develop and exercise a methodology for assessing the vulnerability of SZ mines to explosive mine neutral...

This paper deals with the analysis of the dynamic stresses and displacements in a cable subjected to longitudinal excitation simulating ocean‐wave motion. The cable is considered to be made up of two segments of different materials and different physical dimensions. External damping due to fluid action and internal damping due to viscoelastic mater...
