Some U.S. states allow semi-trucks with three trailers. The truck configuration can total up to 105 feet by adding a rear trailer. Terry Sumter, a UPS driver for 30 years, has experienced the back trailer moving into the oncoming lane. “The most significant condition is… Read more
Curiosity is a car-sized robotic rover exploring Gale Crater on Mars as part of NASA’s Mars Science Laboratory mission (MSL). Curiosity was launched from Cape Canaveral on November 26, 2011 aboard the MSL spacecraft and landed on Aeolis Palus in Gale Crater on Mars on… Read more
The following is based on a description from Dennis Kern, NASA/JPL, which Isam Yunis, NASA Langley, referenced in a shock presentation. Shocks travel through structure as a combination of propagating waves and vibration response, with the vibration response concentrated more in lower frequencies and the… Read more
