Rouillard2 School of Architectural, Civil and Mechanical Engineering, Victoria University PO Box 14428 MCMC, Melbourne 8001, Australia 1 michael.sek@vu.edu.au 2 vincent.rouillard@vu.edu.au Keywords: impact loading, shock response, cushioning, paperboard Abstract.
With this approach, it is generally acknowledged that the cushioning element is engineered to provide adequate protection for statistically likely events but not for extreme events with low statistical likelihood.
Even if some extreme drop heights were included in the sampled data, it is often the case that such events are considered as accidental or unlikely to occur and are thus discounted to attain an engineering and economic compromise.
We believe that these variations in the spectra can be exploited to enable both the product and the package to be concurrently engineered so that true optimisation of protective packaging material can be achieved.
This variation in elasto-plastic behaviour was exploited to engineer a composite cushioning system designed to withstand small, repetitive shocks and well as occasional large level impacts.

Abstract: In order to grasp the force performance and stress distribution of shaped pylon steel anchor box under the action of the cable tension, with a main span of 555m length of three towers cable-stayed and self-anchored suspension combined system bridge as the engineering background, through the APDL command stream parametric programming, the different finite element models of pylon steel anchor box is established by the spatial solid element and shell element, the mechanical properties of cable-pylon anchorage zone were studied under the most unfavorable load combination, considering the stress state and distribution characteristics of steel anchor box under different orthodontic force.
Engineering Background The bridge is a three-tower cable-stayed and self-anchored suspension composite bridge in shaanxi hanzhoung, which is 555m, including the cable system of main tower and self-anchored suspension system.

Calculation on the Internal Force of Deeply Buried Anti-slide Pile by Using Finite Difference Method Based on the m-k Type Method FAN Qiu-yan 1, *, WANG Mei-qian 2, XU Sheng-cai 1College of resource and metallurgy, Guangxi University, guangxi, nanning, 530004,China 2College of civil engineering, Guangxi University, guangxi, nanning, 530004,China aemail address: qiuyan@gxu.edu.cn Keywords: deeply buried anti-slide pile; “m-k” method; finite difference method Abstract: In the past, when used the foundation coefficient to calculate the internal force of anti-slide pile, power series method is usually adopted.
As long as the equal differential step length is small enough, the calculation accuracy can meet the demand of engineer design and the program graph processing result can optimize the design of anti-slide pile. 1.Introduction The anti-slide pile is laterally loaded pile, which endures the horizontal landslide thrust.

PPT was initially applied in the aeronautical and aerospace engineering to the detection and quantification of defects in materials with either high or low thermal conductivity, such as aluminium and composite materials.
It was firstly applied in the military, and then as a quality control technique in the aeronautical and aerospace engineering [1].
