MECHANICAL EVALUATION OF POLYMER COMPOSITE HIP PROTECTORS

Mechanical Evaluation of Polymer Composite Hip Protectors

Hip fractures often result in serious health implications, particularly in the geriatric population, and have been related to long-term morbidity and death.In most cases, these fractures are caused by impact loads in the area of the greater trochanter, which are produced in a fall.This work is aimed at developing hip protectors using composite Blan

Investigation of a cold-based ice apron on a high-mountain permafrost rock wall using ice texture analysis and micro-14C dating: a case study of the Triangle du Tacul ice apron (Mont Blanc massif, France)

The current paper studies the dynamics and age of the Triangle du Tacul (TDT) ice apron, a massive ice volume lying on a steep high-mountain rock wall in the French side of the Mont-Blanc massif at an altitude close to 3640 m a.s.l.Three 60 cm long ice cores were drilled to bedrock (i.e.the rock wall) in 2018 and 2019 at the TDT ice apron.Texture (
