Side crash

About 50% of accidents involve frontal crashes. About 2% are rear-end coUisions. Side crashes have a higher death rate than other crashes. Of the approximately 50,000 motor vehicle accidents in a year, about 8,000 involved rollover of the vehicle and more than 5,000 involved impact with trees and utility poles. In 2012, 79% of vehicle occupants who totally ejected in a crash died. [Pg.176]

Solution. Many types of apparatus can be used such as pneumatic lever crushers, spring operated hand crashers or lead shot crashers. Also, the force can be applied to either side or ends of the catalyst. The Harshaw average side crashing strength is determined by automatically feeding shot into a pan at one end of a lever with a... [Pg.408]

The following ECC system impairments are analysed in turn failure of injection, failure of loop isolation and failure of steam generator secondary side crash cooldown. The first case is generally hmiting. [Pg.26]

An actual problem of a paper mill was the continuous measurement of the wall thickness of a heated roll which dries the paper in order to avoid severe crashes due to wearing. On one side the roll shall be used as long as possible because of economic aspects and on the other side the roll has to be replaced in time to avoid a severe crash. [Pg.762]

Some nitric acid had to be flown from the U.S. to the UK. Several U.S. regulations were broken the acid was packed in glass bottles instead of metal ones and was surrounded by sawdust instead of nonflammable material, and the boxes containing the bottles were not labeled as hazardous or marked This Side Up. The boxes were therefore loaded into the cargo aircraft on their sides, and the bottles leaked. Smoke entered the flight deck, and the crew decided to land, but while doing so the plane crashed, probably as the result of poor visibility on the flight deck, and the crew was killed. It is not clear why a common material of commerce had to be flown across the Atlantic [5]. [Pg.104]

When portable barricades are needed, they can be moved into position rapidly. To provide them with added strength and stability, they are typically anchored to buttress boxes that are located on either side of the road. These buttress boxes, which may or may not be permanent, are usually filled with sand, water, cement, gravel, or concrete to make them heavy and aid in stabilizing the portable barrier. In addition, these buttresses can help dissipate any impact energy from vehicles crashing into the barrier itself. [Pg.166]

When a molecule hits the sides, it exerts aforce on the container, and it is the force of all of these crashes that causes gas pressure. When the container gets smaller, there is less surface area for the molecules to crash into, which raises the pressure. [Pg.78]

MRS. GILL WALKED back with me to Selden as far as the gates, pushed me through, and shut them firmly after me. The ground shook with the pounding and crashing on the far side of the house. My head was full of red noise, but I was very clear about what to do next. [Pg.169]

The patient s pupils should be maximally dilated. Poor pupillary dilation, media opacities (cornea, lens, or vitreous), poor patient cooperation, and an insufficient concentration of fluorescein all contribute to suboptimal results. Improper injection technique most often contributes to decreased retinal-choroidal fluorescein concentration. A crash cart (cardiopulmonary resuscitation unit) must be on hand to handle any potential side effects. [Pg.617]

In developing these new algorithms, the requirements for sensors added more of them outside of the central control module for two reasons. First, some types of crash were difficult to detect within the short time frame required for deployment (such as offset pole crashes) and the solution was to provide a high-g precrash sensor within the front of the vehicle. And second, the need for side-impact detection required deployment decisions even faster that the frontal crashes (within approximately 5 ms). Both of these requirements moved accelerometers to satellite positions closer to the perimeter of the vehicle where they are more likely to pick up impacts from small objects. [Pg.277]
