A Modified Strain-Rate-Dependent Spring-Mass Model for Response Prediction of Composite Laminates Subjected to Low-Velocity Impact by Qiao Zhu, Zhefeng Yu

“…A modified strain-rate dependent (SRD) spring-mass model was first developed to capture the strain rate effect on response prediction of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates subjected to low-velocity impact (LVI). The constitutive relations of FRP material were modified with the impact-induced strain rate using Yen-Caiazzo’s function in space and time dimensions simultaneously. …”

Vulnerabilidade socioambiental, análise de situação de saúde e indicadores: implicações na qualidade de vida no município de São Paulo by Marilia Araujo Roggero, Luciana Ziglio, Marina Miranda

“…This initial information constitutes in itself important indicators of the complexity associated in this large urban area with regard to socio-environmental vulnerabilities.Thinking about to achieving more sustainable cities, something that converges with the United Nations Organization's sustainable development objectives in its Agenda 2030, the MSP still presents great challenges in this sense, being characterized by great unsustainability, as it is verified the prevalence of a process of expansion and occupation characterized by low environmental quality, which consequently reduces quality of life for significant portions of the population.ObservaSampa's indicators are quantitative representations of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) for the reality of the MSP for 2012 and 2015, which have been adapted to the Sustainable Development Objectives (ODS) - Agenda 2030. …”
