Study on the Dynamic Response of the Carbody–Anti-Bending Bars System by Ioana-Izabela Apostol, Traian Mazilu, Mădălina Dumitriu

“…A parametric study of the FRF of the carbody shows that the vertical stiffness of the fastening should be sufficiently high enough to eliminate the influence of the modes of the anti-bending bars upon the carbody response and to reduce the anti-bending bars vibration in the frequency range of interest. …”

Performance evaluation of four cascade impactors for airborne ultrafine-particle (UFP) collection: the influence of particle type, concentration, mass, and chemical nature by E. Eckenberger, A. Mittereder, N. Gawlitta, N. Gawlitta, J. Schnelle-Kreis, J. Schnelle-Kreis, M. Sklorz, D. Brüggemann, R. Zimmermann, R. Zimmermann, A. C. Nölscher

“…We compared two additional impactor-specific factors crucial for mass-based analyses of organic marker compounds: the evaporation of semi-volatile compounds due to a high-pressure drop across the impactor and material addition from larger particles bouncing off upper stages. “Bounce-off” was influenced by the particle number concentration in the sampled air and could be partially mitigated by applying a coating to the upper impaction plates.…”

Investigating the Effect of Preimpact Energy Dissipation on Coefficient of Restitution regarding the Slope-Boulder Interaction by Ran Bi, Shaoying Li, Gou Liu, Jianxi Ren, Yongjun Song

“…The results show that (1) as the inclination of initial velocity, higher rebound height, and the declining normal coefficient of restitution occur, a determinable linear function could demonstrate relationships among energy dissipation and all coefficient of restitution; when initial velocity exceeds 5 m/s, the recovery ability shows and produces an increasing trend with respect to the variation of kinematic coefficient of restitution and kinetic energy coefficient of restitution. (2) As the surface material varies, slope hardness and rebound ability influence normal coefficient of restitution, and the surface roughness and rotation feature dominate tangential coefficient of restitution; considering preimpact slope and boulder interactions, four types of coefficient of restitution follow declining trend with different material sequence. (3) Slope angle affects normal coefficient of restitution, and tangential coefficient of restitution relatively descends 18% and inclines 10% when the angle ranges from 30° to 75°; regarding preimpact moving status, it differs from bounce times. …”
