Evaluation of Steel Frame Equipped with the Replaceable Shear Link Made of Shape Memory Alloy under the Impact Load by Reza Kamgar, Seyed Ali Mahmoudy, Roham Zakavi

“…Also, the maximum displacement in the frame equipped with the shear link made of ordinary steel is less than the corresponding value in the frame equipped with a shear link made of an SMA (the maximum displacement reduction is about 43% for type 1 blast load), while the residual displacement of both frames is the same and equal to zero. It was concluded that the free vibration does not significantly affect the maximum responses of the mentioned structures under the impact load.…”

Correlation between Exposure to Bomechanical Stress and Whiplash Associated Disorders (WAD) by William HM Castro

“…From the work of Becke et al. (1999) and Becke and Castro (2000), we know that in side collisions with a Dv of just 3 km/h, head contact with the side window of the car is possible; it can be expected that in such cases the cervical spine will also be exposed to some biomechanical stress (notice however, that not every head contact is automatically equal to an injury of the cervical spine!). In conclusion, before using expressions like 'low velocity collisions', its definition with regard to Dv as well as the kind of collision, has to be discussed. …”
