CHAPTER 1 – INTRODUCTION 1.1 INTRODUCTION From year to year, the number of vehicles on the road based on the development of automobile and transportation industry has increased year by year. To more dependence on transportations frameworks. The interest for vehicles has been expanding for a current society is all the more better. Subsequently, the vehicle crash accident has become a major problem for worldwide health. This is caused by road vehicles such as vans, trucks, cars, buses and heavy vehicles. A motor vehicle can be involved in the variety of crash events, each causing human injury of the different method. Table 1-1 provides a more detailed analysis of the nature of crashes in Malaysia in 2010 grouped by the severity of each crash type. Table 1-1 Crashes by nature of crash and severity in Malaysia in 2010 (http://www.mot.gov.my) [Accessed May 2014] In addition, Figure 1-1 shows how the nature of crashes changes in relation to the severity of crash. From this information, the road crashes obviously constitute a great economic for worldwide health problem. The energy absorption capacity of protective and vehicles structures has become more important for safety requirements. …show more content…
It has higher specific stiffness, higher specific strength, and better thermal insulation properties compared with other engineering materials. The characteristics of foam are usually described by its relative density, (are the densities of foam and solid material of the cell wall, respectively), and stating whether it is open or closed cell, as reported by Gibson and Ashby [45]. For the open-cell foam, the cell walls are broken and air fills all the spaces in the material (Figure 2-3a). Thus, this type of foam is soft and weak. While in the closed-cell foam (Figure 2-3b), most of the cell walls are not broken and they are resembled together in a compact configuration in order to make them strong enough to undergo large
The type of board I will be using has a density of 100 kg/m but will retain the same thermal conductivity but using a different grade of polyurethane foam that has fire resistant properties. This type of insulation has a relatively high compressive and tensile strength but during its production it does give off quite large amounts of Co2 and does contain toxic materials that could prove to be harmful to the surrounding environment. Although more costly the insulation having a higher strength and fire resistance will ensure that less maintenance will have to occur and so could be less expensive long
Bio-foam has a far lower petroleum content than traditional mattress materials. The cutting-edge mattress compression methods used during product packaging make it easy to move the mattress through doorways before unpacking. Making it extremely simple to get the mattress into any room.
Even with side-impact airbags, the energy of the crash is not able to be absorbed through the vehicle’s engine compartment
Polyurethane is a safe liquid polymer foam that is injected into small drilled holes. After the material is injected, it turns into foam and expands under the slab. Loose soils are stabilized and all voids are filled. Polyurethane takes up to 15 minutes to cure, then it is ready for immediate use. Polyurethane is lightweight, and weighs 2 to 4 lbs per cubic foot.
Even after six years, there are times when this family feels the pain and pressure of the life changes after that horrific accident. There are many such individuals and families who face similar situations every year. A data research on road accidents reveal that more than 6 million traffic accidents occur in our nation annually. Those who have been in an accident, they might have experienced the shock, after-incident trauma, physical discomfort and post-trauma stress for a longer period of time. The victim alone is not the sufferer.
University of Albert found “The technological and social phenomenon contributing to one of leading of unintentional death and injuries motor vehicles
Collisions involving large commercial vehicles and smaller automobiles are all too common in Ventura County, and throughout California. Due to the size differential of the vehicles, among other factors, these types of crashes often result in serious and catastrophic injuries, as well as in death. In fact, the California Highway Patrol reports that there were 256 fatal trucking accidents, and more than 5,200 truck-related wrecks resulted in injuries, in 2013 alone. While not all commercial vehicle collisions are avoidable, there are things that people can do to help improve their safety when sharing the road with truckers. Do understand the limitations of large trucks
The energy of motion of a car is responsible for the destructiveness of car accidents. It 's the reason parking lot fender benders don 't approach the destructiveness and injury potential of high-speed collisions on the highway. This energy also increases with the square of your speed. Doubling your speed from 30 mph to 60 mph for example, quadruples the destructive potential of a collision. This is why your ability to rapidly slow down is so important.
The material created replaced the normal material used for previous swimsuits like Nylon, Spandex and the paperlike material. The suits material is extremely thin and foam like and covers the swimmer from the neck to the ankles. The modification of the new material polyurethane has improved performance in various ways. The new material is able to enclose and trap tiny pockets of gas
Vehicle-related injuries may occur where they lose control of the vehicle or collide with another car(accident).Commercial truck drivers are an integral part of the African economy. Without truckers, few of us would be able to enjoy the access to the wide variety of groceries and consumer goods that we currently take for granted. Truck drivers regularly make a number of sacrifices in order to keep our economy moving. It is not rare for truckers to spend days at a time away from their friends and family. In addition, the nature of their job regularly subjects them to the risk of serious injury.
This crash is just one of the millions of deadly crashes caused by texting and driving that happen every year. Ultimately, use of cell phones caused this physical harm. As one could see, cell phones have and will lead to physical harm to people. In addition to the physical harm due to car accidents
SUMMARY In this report, I am explaining how the impact of External Business Environment on Automobile industry in UAE. Also, how the external environment factors are dominant on the growth of an industry including dimensions of management, human resource, marketing and IT tools used in the Industry. INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION In June 2008, TATA Motors announced the acquisition of brands Jaguar and Land Rover from the car producing giant Ford Motors. The deal was valued at US$ 2.3 billion and is considered an overall success even from intercultural perspective. On the contrary, the deal was speculated to be a huge failure as the world was entering into recession in 2008 and Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) was incurring huge losses. The deal was an all cash deal with 100% acquisition of Jaguar Land Rover’s businesses.
The Honda Motor Company, Ltd. was formerly established in the great country of Japan in 1949 by Soichiro Honda and Takeo Fujisawa. The first product that was introduced to the world was called the “Dream” D-type motorcycle. The main focus that founder Soichiro Honda built the company around was to create new values and not to imitate other companies who produced similar products. In 1959, Honda Motor Company, Ltd. entered into the Unite States as the American Honda Motor Company. They settled in Los Angeles, California and was known as the first international subsidiary of Honda Motor Company,
Neuromorphic technology is that Computer chips are used which mimic the human brain. Even today's best super-computers cannot rival sophistication of human brain. Computers are the linear, moving data back and forth between the memory chips and a central processor over a high-speed backbone.
