Understanding behind-armor blunt trauma is important for developing effective personal ballistic protection solutions. Even if a bullet is stopped by the armor, some damage can still be transmitted to the body. By today’s standards, the protections are assessed on plastilina blocks … Read More
Subsurface mooring deployment, recovery, and performance in current and waves For many years moorings have been designed using basic mass-drag-buoyancy calculations, spreadsheets, rules-of-thumb, black magic scripts, and a dose of ‘salty-sea-dog’ experience. With these methods, we can frequently estimate a … Read More
