Abstract Large excursion of the Tote Bag inflaton field can trigger interesting dynamics.One important example is a first-order phase transition in a spectator sector which couples to the inflaton.Gravitational waves (GWs) from such a first-order phase transition during inflation, an example of an instantaneous source, have an oscillatory feature.I

The purpose of this study is to estimate maximum ground motions in southern Taiwan as well as to assess Construction potential human fatalities from scenario earthquakes on the Chishan active faults in this area.The resultant Shake Map patterns of maximum ground motion in a case of Mw 7.2 show the areas of PGA above 400 gals are located in the nort

The paper reveals the relevance of the use of adhesive polymer materials for the restoration of cars and machinery.Prerequisites for creation of universal polyurethane adhesive compositions of new generation for restoration of cars with the improved adhesive, physical-technical and operational properties which possess high resistance to aggressive

This paper deals with material property identification of a helmet lining consisting of an outer Scales layer of an expanded polystyrene (EPS) and inner layer of an open-closed cell foam (OCCF).A combined numerical simulation and experimental testing was used for the material property identification.Compression and drop tests were performed.The ABA
