Incident Impacts

The purpose of layout and spacing is to design a workplace that will minimize personnel injuries, overall property damage, and related business interruption resulting from potential toxic releases, fires, and explosions. Areas to address during layout and spacing include both those that will minimize the incident size and those that will minimize the incident impact. The magnitude of a potential incident may be reduced by ...

Projections of future incident impacts based on analysis of historical loss patterns. They are not entirely accurate since they cannot predict the actual loss that will occur. See also Loss History.

Estimate the incident impacts on people, environment and property. The effect models take the incident outcomes of step 2 and determine the direct impacts— number of individuals affected, property damage, etc. Effect models are discussed in Chapter 4. 

These Ba reactions fall into a class of kinematically constrained reactions H + H L HH + L, where H and L denote heavy and light atoms, respectively [116,117], One consequence is that initial orbital angular momentum is channelled into rotational angular momentum of the diatomic product. With the assumption of constant product recoil energy, which can be used to interpret the dynamics of a number of Ba(lS) reactions [118], the formation of low and high v product vibrational levels is associated with large and small impact parameters, respectively. Thus, the variation of the spin-orbit effect with product vibrational level for the Ba( D) reactions provides information on the dependence of the reaction dynamics on incident impact parameter. 

Coincidence experiments explicitly require knowledge of the time correlation between two events. Consider the example of electron impact ionization of an atom, figure Bl.10.7. A single incident electron strikes a target atom or molecule and ejects an electron from it. The incident electron is deflected by the collision and is identified as the scattered electron. Since the scattered and ejected electrons arise from the same event, there is a time correlation... 

Figure Bl.10.7. Electron impact ionization coincidence experiment. The experiment consists of a source of incident electrons, a target gas sample and two electron detectors, one for the scattered electron, the other for the ejected electron. The detectors are coimected tlirough preamplifiers to the inputs (start and stop) of a time-to-amplitiide converter (TAC). The output of the TAC goes to a pulse-height-analyser (PHA) and then to a nuiltichaimel analyser (MCA) or computer.

Classical ion trajectory computer simulations based on the BCA are a series of evaluations of two-body collisions. The parameters involved in each collision are tire type of atoms of the projectile and the target atom, the kinetic energy of the projectile and the impact parameter. The general procedure for implementation of such computer simulations is as follows. All of the parameters involved in tlie calculation are defined the surface structure in tenns of the types of the constituent atoms, their positions in the surface and their themial vibration amplitude the projectile in tenns of the type of ion to be used, the incident beam direction and the initial kinetic energy the detector in tenns of the position, size and detection efficiency the type of potential fiinctions for possible collision pairs. 

When an ion beam is incident on an atomically flat surface at grazing angles, each surface atom is shadowed by its neighbouring atom such that only forwardscattering (FS) is possible these are large impact parameter (p) collisions. 

In the case of fast ions, the terminology of secondary ion emission mass spectrometry (SIMS) is more obvious in that a primary incident beam of ions onto a target releases secondary ions after impact. 

Probit models have been found generally useful to describe the effects of incident outcome cases on people or property for more complex risk analyses. At the other end of the sc e, the estimation of a distance within which the population would be exposed to a concentration of ERPG-2 or higher may be sufficient to describe the impact of a simple risk analysis. 

The output of these calculation processes is one or more pairs of an incident or incident outcome case frequency and its effec t (consequence or impact).

Many problems of practical interest are, indeed, two dimensional in nature. Impact and penetration problems are examples of these, where bodies of revolution impact and penetrate slabs, plates, or shells at normal incidence. Such problems are clearly axisymmetric and, therefore, accurately modeled with a two-dimensional simulation employing cylindrical coordinates. 

Eulerian codes are often used to simulate high-velocity impact and penetration events, such as shown in Fig. 9.26. Here the problem involves the penetration of armor steel by a tungsten projectile at normal incidence.
