AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON IMPACT BEHAVIOR OF FIBER/METAL LAMINATES

An Experimental Study on Impact Behavior of Fiber/Metal Laminates

During the last decades a new class of materials named fiber/metal laminates (FMLs) brazmallows hyde flavor was introduced.It is a hybrid composite consisting of alternating thin layers of metal sheets and fiber-reinforced composite material.FMLs have both low weight and good mechanical properties.In this study, the impact behavior of this attracti

Time-varying auditory gain control in response to double-pulse stimuli in harbour porpoises is not mediated by a stapedial reflex

Echolocating animals reduce their output level and hearing sensitivity with decreasing echo delays, presumably to stabilize the perceived echo intensity during target approaches.In bats, this variation in hearing sensitivity is formed by a call-induced stapedial reflex that tapers off over time after the call.Here, we test the hypothesis that a sim
