Shock absorber

absorbing foam or other material on the inner surfaces facing the body because hard armour by itself does not provide impact/shock absorption qualities. Viscoelastic: The use of viscoelastic materials in motorcycle armor has allowed for hand (glove) elbow, knee, shoulder, tail-bone, and back armor to be manufactured in a soft and pliable state at rest. Upon the introduction of shock the armor adopts extremely rigid and protective properties. Examples of this armor are SAS-TEC, SW, d3o, Rukka APS…

consequence, the knee takes a lot of abuse and can wear out prematurely as a result of the constant loads that one puts it under day in and day out. The knee is made up of a collection of bones, ligaments, and cartilage that work together to act as shock absorbers to transfer load throughout the leg. The femur comes down along the thigh and enters the patella (also known as the knee cap), which connects to the tibia below the knee. Ligaments such as the ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) and…

Earthquakes for been a constant force of nature since the beginning of the Earth. The damage done by earthquakes over time cannot be over looked. The damage has been monetary, emotional, and has taken many lives. Today, a capstone in Civil Engineering, Earthquake Engineering is trying to reduce all of these damages using modern technology and resources to build structures that can withstand the mass forces of earthquakes. Earthquake engineering is broken down into two major parts, the first…

What is Back Pain? Back pain is common Back pain is a common complaint. Most have periods of life with back problems. For many it is about short-term problems that emit themselves. But for some, the attacks occur frequently and last for long. The pain can affect how to manage both work and other chores of daily life. Usually has pain in the lower back - the lumbar The most common is that the symptoms sits in the lower back, lumbar spine. The pain often comes on suddenly and can be cutting,…

Intervertebral discs are the rubbery pads that fill the space between the bones of the spine, known as vertebrae. They act as shock absorbers for the spine, making the spine more flexible than it would be without the discs. The discs separate the vertebrae and keep them from rubbing together and causing damage to the bones but unfortunately, the discs themselves can suffer injury and cause a multitude of problem and significant pain. When a there is an injury or a large amount of stress is…

• Muscle tissue: Cardiac and skeletal muscle Cardiac and skeletal muscles have very few similarities and many differences. Firstly cardiac muscles location is found in the heart and the skeletal muscle location is found all over the body in every single bone present in humans. The similarities of cardiac and skeletal to start with is that they are both striated muscle structured, but cardiac is lightly striated and skeletal is heavily striated. Now to describe the differences, initially…

collateral ligament attaches to the lateral meniscus allowing them to both flex and extend. The posterior cruciate ligament and anterior cruciate ligament are limited by anterior and posterior translation. The lateral and medial meniscus are shock absorbers and stabilizers that absorb 40% of our body weight (Drake, Mitchell, & Vogl, 2012). In order for the leg and foot to start turning a bluish color, the popliteal artery would have to be pinched or clamped off causing the patient to lose blood…

History and Styles of 1920’s Cars Automobiles began development before the 1920s, and when they were mass produced they became affordable luxuries that every American sought. These first publically available cars were always being tweaked to break new speed records. Automobiles changed the lives of all Americans and revolutionized the transportation industry. Automobiles changed the economy. They opened up new organizations to take care of the becoming demand for vehicles.…

zones are the areas of a vehicle that are designed to absorb impact during a collision in an intended way. The structural areas are typically in the front and rear of a vehicle. The factors to consider for designing a vehicle that can withstand shock is the size and weight of the vehicle, and also the stiffness of the frame and the stresses the vehicle is likely to be opened to during impact (Gabiranowski, 2015). When a vehicle comes Energy is the ability to do work and it can be…

Some refer to the 1970 Chevelle SS as the "ultimate American muscle car". The 1970 Chevelle SS454 is considered to be "the ultimate Chevelle". With its intimidating body style, powerful motor and growling dual exhaust the 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS is every bit pure American muscle. Two engines were available in Chevelle's1970 super sport package. The SS396 was powered by a 396 cubic inch Turbo-Jet V8 putting out 350 horsepower. The SS454 was a powerhouse with its LS-6 454 cubic inch V8 motor…
