CRASHWORTHINESS ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF A SANDWICH COMPOSITE ELECTRIC BUS STRUCTURE UNDER FULL FRONTAL IMPACT

The transition toward sustainable transportation includes adopting ecofriendly electric vehicles in public transport, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions and increases energy efficiency.One of the critical features in fuel economy improvement of electric vehicles lies in lightweight structural design.Nevertheless, the crashworthiness of the stru

The permanent attachment of Myxococcus xanthus V-25 and M.xanthus 422 to the hydrophobic and hydrophilic surface was studied.The strains attached mostly to the hydrophobic surface.Protease and chloramphenicol did not promote the cells to detach from both surfaces, but sodium periodate did.This suggests that exopolysaccharide may play a role in thei
