Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have found that soldiers using military helmets one size larger and with thicker pads could reduce the severity of traumatic brain injury (TBI) from blunt and ballistic impacts.

“LSTC SID-IIs-D FAST” Finite Element Model

Christoph Maurath

At the end of September, LSTC released time costs. It is intended for a new dummy model as part of their developments that require many dummy model family. All models are simulations where cpu time savings can available to LS-DYNA customers, at no add up to significant numbers, like extra cost. The model is called “LSTC optimization runs, or as a ballast where SID-IIs-D FAST”. dummy injury values are not the major importance.

Even with the simplifications in the FAST model over the detailed SID-IIs model the injury channels match physical tests fairly well. All important injury channels are output in the FAST model.

The mesh of the fast SID-IIs version is For the model calibration, test data from based on LSTC’s detailed model of the regular certification tests was available. SID-IIs. The mesh of the detailed finite The certification tests are head drop test, element model of the SID-IIs ADT was neck pendulum tests, shoulder impact developed by LSTC by use of the tests, thorax impact test with arm, TrueGrid software. TrueGrid is a thorax impact test without arm, Hexahedral Mesh Generator. The mesh is abdomen impact test, iliac impact test, based on scanned data of an actual and acetabulum impact test. dummy. Further, the drawing package of the dummy was utilized for details that More detailed information and all were unclear in the scanned data. calibration test results are available in the documentation that is included in the The SID-IIs-D FAST is a coarsely meshed model package that is available on model, which results in very low cpu LSTC’s ftp site.

The Snelson Atom

The following information is on the website by Kenneth Snelson. “My art is concerned with nature in its primary aspect, the patterns of physical forces in three dimensional space.”

Please visit the site for full animations, and information - http://snelsonatom.com

Atom Self Contructs these sets of forces the electrons interact (see site for animation) with one another and build shells. Larger shells admit more electrons. When a shell is filled new members begin another shell until finally all energy states are filled and the whole atom becomes electrically neutral.

Energy Shift (See site for animation)

My fantasy atom assembles itself in this animation. First the nucleus appears. Then one-by-one electrons arrive. They are free particles until they are snatched up by a ravenous nuclear electrical field and transformed into circular atomic orbits. They instantly become matter waves (Louis de Broglie) keyed to an This animation represents a hydrogen energy level or shell. The electrons have atom’s single electron undergoing energy entered with only a small mass, their transformations. In this sequence light negative electrical charge and a top-like (energy) enters the atom from outside spin. Within their orbit, revolving at one and transfers the electron’s matter-wave percent of the speed of light, the orbit to a higher energy state, moving it negative electrical charge is smeared from shell to shell. The light is again throughout the matter-wave ring and expelled and the electron falls to a lower provides an orbital magnetic field. Unlike energy level. Incoming light expands the light waves matter-waves are atom. Outgoing energy contracts the impenetrable to one another (Pauli atom, a process analogous to breathing principle) enabling the electrons to pack in and breathing out. the atom’s shells like eggs in a box.

Cray Lands $97 Million Contract to Upgrade Supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory

SEATTLE, WA, Oct 11, 2011 -- Global able to apply the resources of one the supercomputer leader Cray Inc. world's most powerful supercomputers to (NASDAQ: CRAY) today announced the solving some of today's most pressing Company has signed a contract to energy and environmental challenges. upgrade the Cray XT5 supercomputer nicknamed "Jaguar" located at the "ORNL and Cray have been working Department of Energy's (DOE) Oak Ridge together to optimize the Cray XK6 National Laboratory (ORNL) to a new hardware and software architecture for Cray XK6 supercomputer, which will be several years. The result of this nicknamed "Titan." When completed, the collaboration is a system specifically Titan system will have a peak developed for scientific applications," performance between 10 and 20 said Jeff Nichols, Associate Laboratory petaflops (quadrillion mathematical Director for Computing and calculations per second) of high Computational Sciences at Oak Ridge performance computing (HPC) power.
