The aim of this thesis has been to develop a proposition for a new type of snail barrier, whose function is not based on the use of toxic chemicals or electric current. We have mainly used Fredy Olsson´s methods described in the compendium "Princip- och primärkonstruktion" After a thorough review of previous research and the accompanying definition of criteria, we sketched out six different propositions. By weighting the criteria in a Kesselring matrix, we selected one of the proposals for further development. The main criteria we had to take into account were; the weight of the product, the a

This thesis argues for a number of fresh readings of and perspectives on Nabokov’s Ada. I am, however, equally interested in how Nabokov is read more generally, and argue against some of the worst habits of Nabokov scholarship to date. Nabokov’s own authority over how his works are to be read “correctly” is largely unquestioned by a great number of influential Nabokovians, chief among them Brian Boyd. Still, at least since Michael Wood’s The Magician’s Doubts, there has been enough work to challenge the author’s total authority over his own texts. Reading Nabokov with doubt, ambiguity, and eve

Randomly entangled fibers forming loosely bound nonwoven structures are evaluated for use in lightweight armor applications. These materials sacrifice volumetric efficiency in order to realize a reduction in mass versus traditional armor materials, while maintaining equivalent ballistic performance.

The response of fiberfill is investigated at a variety of strain rates, from quasistatic to ballistic, under compressio

Texts on Roman armor as well as commentaries and sermons on the scriptures were consulted for the basis of the musical materials.

Abstract:
In this study, AISI 450 stainless steel and ceramic-metal matrix composites (CMMCs) impacted by a 7.61x51mm armor piercing (AP) projectile, are numerically investigated by using Abaqus/Explicit. For AISI steel, three different failure criteria are used in order to determine the critical thickness values for perforation for different projectile impact velocities. Overall, the standard Abaqus and the elongation to fracture criteria yield comparable results, while the strain energy model yields critical plate thickness values nearly twice as large as those obtained using the two other models.

Abstract:
While military body armor is used among warfighters for protection on and off the battlefield, it has been suggested to impede performance and act as a risk factor for the development of musculoskeletal disorders, especially low back pain. Apart from personal suffering, low back pain in soldiers is a great economic burden on the US economy. The objective of this study was to quantify the changes in trunk mechanical and neuromuscular behavior following prolonged exposure to body armor compared to exposure without. A crossover study design was used where 12 sex-balanced participants completed a
