shock wave. Basics of safe life

Fundamentals of Safe Life Activities (OBZhD)

blast wave - this area of compressed air, rapidly spreading in all directions from the epicenter of the explosion with great speed and characterized by excess pressure in the front of the shock wave (the value by which this pressure exceeds atmospheric pressure). The blast wave consumes up to 50% of the energy of a nuclear explosion.

Under the influence of a shock wave there is a destruction of buildings, constructions, transport highways. Unprotected people receive closed and open injuries, because due to the small size of the human body, the shock wave instantly covers the person and subjects him to strong compression within a few seconds. An instantaneous increase in pressure is perceived by a living organism as a sharp blow. The cause of open damage is most often the secondary factors of the action of the shock wave - flying debris of buildings, structures, etc. In addition, the dynamic pressure creates a significant frontal pressure, which can lead to the displacement of the body in space. The duration of the shock wave is about 15 s.

Excessive pressure in the front of the shock wave of 10 kPa or less for people and animals located outside the shelter is considered safe. Light lesions occur at an excess pressure of 20-40 kPa and are expressed by short-term violations of body functions, dislocations and bruises are possible. Defeats moderate severity occur at an excess pressure of 40-60 kPa, while there are dislocations of the limbs, concussion of the brain, damage to the hearing organs, bleeding from the nose and ears. At an excess pressure of 60-100 kPa, severe concussions and injuries, characterized by severe contusion of the whole body, bone fractures, bleeding from the nose and ears; possible damage to internal organs and internal bleeding. And with an excess pressure of more than 100 kPa, there are also ruptures of internal organs (especially those containing a large amount of blood or filled with gas, as well as having cavities filled with liquid), concussion with a prolonged loss of consciousness. Often these injuries incompatible with life.

The radius of damage by debris from buildings at an overpressure of 2-7 kPa can exceed the radius of direct damage to the shock wave.

air wave also works on plants. Trees are uprooted, broken and discarded, forming solid blockages, from 30 to 50% of forest plantations perish, depending on the magnitude of excess pressure.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Photons instead of electrons for revolutionary processors 18.01.2021

Modern computing capabilities of classical processor architectures have exhausted themselves, IBM is sure. Moreover, they have become an obstacle to the development of machine learning and artificial intelligence systems. A breakthrough is seen in the development of silicon photonics and memory computing, where data is processed where it is stored. And today, IBM proved that they have found the way to the electronics of the future, in which photons will fly through circuits instead of electrons.

IBM teamed up with scientists from several countries to develop and implement an optical computing system to accelerate neural networks. In particular, the company created a "photonic tensor core" that is capable of performing the so-called convolution operation - a mathematical operation on two functions that outputs a third function - in one time step. This is usually a simple addition or multiplication, but processing a single piece of data requires billions of such operations, so low latency and low consumption are vital requirements for such systems.

Performing operations on data in memory is an additional opportunity to save both consumption and latency, since data does not need to be transferred to the processor and back. In IBM's design, data was stored and processed in memory cells based on phase change memory.

The next step to speed up data processing is Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM). In other words, the data was sent to the memory block in the form of light with different wavelengths. This approach allows both expanding the data transmission channel (frequency expansion) and performing operations on the photon data stream in parallel. Where electrons flowed sequentially in circuits, photonic circuits allow parallel flow of data and simultaneous processing of each of the flows. This is a huge speedup of data processing!

As an experiment, a 9 x 4 matrix was created with a maximum of four input vectors per time step, each of which was transmitted as light radiation with a different wavelength. For MAC (multiply-accumulate) operations, the matrix showed a performance of 2 TOPS/s at a modulation rate of 14 GHz. IBM expects that the proposed circuit design will help achieve in-memory performance of photonic circuits at levels of PetaMAC/s per mm2 (thousands of trillions of MAC operations), which is three orders of magnitude higher than today's 1 TOPS/mm2 level for current electronics.
