for controlled and predictive energy absorption. In this process, the kinetic energy of the colliding bodies is partly converted into internal work of the bodies involved in the crash. Crash events are non-linear and may involve material failure, global and local structural instabilities and failure of joints. In addition, strain-rate and inertia effects may play an important role in the response of the structures involved. Crashworthiness of a material is expressed in terms of its specific energy

The remuneration received from the work is not worthwhile to them hence the disinterest of young people joining the workforce of the long haul truck drivers.

my mother was involved in several years ago. The accident occurred as she was driving along Kipling Street in Lakewood, Colorado, on her way home from an appointment. A front end loader that was being used at a construction site on the side of the road, suddenly entered the traffic lane she was driving in. Her vehicle was partially lifted up off the roadway and was literally split open on the passenger side, totaling the vehicle in the damage that resulted from the collision. The driver of the
growing from an underdeveloped, mainly agrarian country into an industrial world power. Though this growth is remarkable, it has left many Chinese citizens behind. The Zhang family, depicted in the film Last Train Home, are among this group; the migrant worker parents struggle to provide for the family, failing to reap benefits from the economic boom. Thus, the family demonstrates the failure of modern China to follow through on the Maoist utopian vision of an empowered agrarian class. In fact, China has

However, despite the push to recognize the physical abuse that is inflicted on these children, the psychological effects can possibly be the bigger problem that the children
categories of construction projects in the industry, building and civil engineering. Building involves projects such as building houses, schools, stores, factories, railroad stations and so on. Civil engineering involves other built structures such as roads, bridges, dams, railways and much more. With all the good things that the construction industry provides for humans, there are problems that are affecting the industries future. The construction industry faces workforce challenges that could can cause

It is better to try to do something than doing nothing to end the global poverty. Africa is the continent with the lowest rates of development and quality life but with the help of sweatshops Africa would stop its poverty. According to Nicholas Kristof “Africa desperately needs western help in the form of schools, clinics

It is the issue of environmental impact. Building cars takes a considerable toll on the environment, while the product itself generates so much waste that environmentalists now measure carbon output of other disputed industries in terms of how

1. Introduction Construction industry in most countries amounts to 10–20% of the GNP, making it the largest economic employing sector. Construction work is labor intensive. Robots are used widely to help human workers in construction sites. They demonstrate an autonomous and simple approach to construction. Therefore, construction robotics has been a very hot research area in the construction industry [1]. The main goal of this paper is to convince the entire construction world to incorporate robotic

Mines are underground therefore it is extremely crucial to have electricity through renewable energy to create light for the miners underground because of the darkness being created. More importantly, if every corporation were to include the triple bottom line in their business goals, it would aid with climate change and global

Introduction We now live in a global pattern of flows of skills and human capital and those flows are no longer defined by narrow definitions of skills they are defined instead by talent, they are defined instead by entrepreneurship abilities and attitudes and they are defined instead by ability to innovate and even an interest to pursue innovation. This age of change, this movement to the human centric economy where human resources becomes the most important function of production, is a new age
