• Abstract

  In Brazil more than twenty thousand young people die each year in motorcycle accidents. At the same time, we market over one million new motorcycles annually. One of the most important safety items for motorcyclists is the helmet, compulsory throughout the country. Brazilian helmets should all be tested to assess their impact performance, according to Brazilian standards. In this scenario…

• Abstract

  The art of engineering resides in create models, i.e., simplified abstractions of reality that are capable of representing a desired behaviour. Those models might be analytical abstractions, theoretical models, material behaviour and, analogically, the use of similar structures to infer the behaviour of others. Fluid mechanics has many applications to scaled models, while its application …

• Abstract

  Ship collisions and grounding continue to occur worldwide regardless of continuous efforts to prevent such accidents. Given the recent investments of the Brazilian government in the oil production sector and taking into account the increasing demand for safety at sea and protection of the environment, the consideration of ship collisions in the Brazilian ship industry is of crucial import…
