ABSTRACT This paper describes numerical simulation of a selected soft missile impact small scale test. The main aim of the testing program is to provide data for the calibration and verification of the numerical simulation models for soft missile impact time-history simulation. The experiments are conducted both with dry and fluid filled missiles. The objective of the tests with fluid filled missiles is to investigate the release speed and the droplet size of the fluid spray release in the impact

skull‚ small rostrum and a short masseter implies a diet of easily chewable and digestible soft foods‚ like berries and nuts‚ mainly found in forests. Also‚ their digitgrade limbs are most adaptable to a habitat requiring more maneuverability than speed. In a thick canopy forest‚ speed would be unnecessary as there would be obstacles of trees‚ shrubs and wet grounds. Rather‚ maneuverability would be much more efficient in a forest where the surroundings are bushes‚ shrubs and trees. This type of limb

Background Research I’m doing my science project on which food wrapping will prevent freezer burn the best aluminum foil‚ plastic bags‚ or freezer paper. This experiment seemed interesting to me because a lot of people get freezer burn on their foods. My mother also gets freezer burn on her foods a lot and she always tries different food wrappings but none of them seem to work. This project will benefit people from getting freezer burn on their food‚ and so they will know which wrapping
