Abstract:

On 18 February 2002, the Communicable Disease Unit was notified by the local Public Health Service Laboratory of a child with a positive skin swab for Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This child had attended the local swimming pool and played on an inflatable, subsequently presenting to a Primary Care Nurse Practitioner with folliculitis. A total of 35 cases was identified during the outbreak. This paper describes a case–control study and microbiological sampling of the cases, the suspected inflatable and a survey of 10 swimming pool inflatables in the local area.

Although the police action was almost unanimously rejected, pictures of hooded people and burning cars that started circulating in the web. But the protest had begun peacefully and a very different picture could have shaped the perception of the ‘black block’: a giant inflatable black cube that was being carried by the protesters above their head

AbstractPneumatically activated systems enable myriad types of highly functional inflatables employing a wide range of architectural approaches affecting their form and function, making systematic conceptual design difficult. A new architectural class of pneumatically activated systems, constrained layer inflatable systems, consists of hierarchically architected flat layers of thin airtight bladders that are internally and/or externally constrained to generate a variety of functionalities.

Abstract:

Architecture, a discipline called to design the living places, usually operates within a logic that has as main objective welcoming human acts. Its status as a built object requires an adequate response not only material, structural, spatial and environmental, but also in meeting the most vital demands of these acts. Art, on the other hand, can respond with almost absolute freedom, uncompromising with the proper habits of living, in which the act of dwelling can be questioned, freeing itself from its responsibilities related to life.

Abstract:

Inflatable structures offer a path for light deployable structures in medicine, architecture, and aerospace. In this study, we address the challenge of programming the shape of thin sheets of high-stretching modulus cut and sealed along their edges. Internal pressure induces the inflation of the structure into a deployed shape that maximizes its volume. We focus on the shape and nonlinear mechanics of inflated rings and more generally, of any sealed curvilinear path. We rationalize the stress state of the sheet and infer the counterintuitive increase of curvature observed on inflation. In addi

Most of the recent research in the field of marine target detection has been concentrating on ships with large metallic parts. The focus of this work is on much more challenging targets represented by small rubber inflatables. They are of importance, since in recent years they have largely been used by migrants to cross the Mediterranean Sea between Libya and Europe. The motivation of this research is to mitigate the ongoing humanitarian crisis at Europe’s southern borders.

Results on the large deflection and stability behavior of spherical inflatables subjected to axisymmetric hydrostatic loading are presented. Using an Eulerian description and assuming inextensibility, a set of integro-differential equations of the Volterra type defining the problem are solved numerically in the pond region. Using a numerical algorithm, the complete load-deflection behavior is determined for structures of different initial geometries and for various densities. Special attention is paid to γ = 9.0.

A series of pull-out tests were conducted in this framework by changing the number, spacing, and layout of inflatable anchors. Additionally, the effect coefficient (ECO) of multiple inflatable anchors is discussed. It is found that the failure

Isolated pump erosion is a rare complication in patients with inflatable penile prosthesis. We describe a case of a diabetic patient who underwent inflatable penile prosthesis implantation with subsequent isolated pump erosion. Repeated attempts of conservative repair of the erosion failed.

In case of isolated pump erosion, replacement of the inflatable penile prosthesis with a malleable one looks to be a good alternative salvage treatment for the patient.

Abstract:

Considering the deficiency of traditional anchors, we propose a new type of inflatable controlled anchor system in this paper. The working mechanism and its structural composition of newly designed inflatable controlled device are discussed in detail. To investigate the performance and pull-out capacity of this new anchor system, a series of field tests were carried out under different inflation pressure conditions. By comparing these test results with those of traditional grouting anchors, a full-process constitutive model of anchor-soil interface is proposed to depict the pull-out characteri

Abstract:

The body wall structure of Clanis bilineata larva exhibits strong stability. This characteristic prompted the development of a new inflatable tube to improve the stability under axial pressure. The C. bilineata larva was chosen to observe the connection between its body wall and nearby muscle tissues, as well as the distribution of these tissues, by using the tissue section technique. Using this method, an inflatable tube with reinforcing ribs was designed. Simulation using the finite element method and experimentation were employed to compare and analyze the stability of the inflatable tube w

Abstract:

The history of the use of inflatable dams has been a long one in Hong Kong. The first three inflatable dams were constructed in the sixties as an integral part of the Plover Cove Water Supply Scheme. Up to December 1996, a total of 16 inflatable dams had been constructed. The use of rubber as a construction material has been subject to much skepticism. There are many reasons for this and one of them is clearly the problem of durability. Despite the many problems, rubber dams have been successfully implemented in Hong Kong. Most of the rubber dams in Hong Kong had been constructed by the Agricu

Abstract:

Dynamic testing of an inflatable beam has been performed to evaluate structural natural frequencies and modal damping ratios. The inflatable beam has a pattern of six composite fiber strips inside thin-film structure that increases its local stiffness that the structure can be self-supporting in the gravity environment when the internal pressure is released. A measurement setup was installed, and the dynamic testing was performed in this self-supporting state. Dynamic characters of the beams were tested with internal pressure or not when the beam had a 2.0kg mass on the top. Moreover, the dyna
