Vehicular Disruption Tolerant Networks

Vehicular Disruption Tolerant Networks Introduction Traditional networks suppose the existence of some path between end-points, short end-to-end round-trip delay time and small loss ratio. Today, however, new applications, environments and types of devices are challenging these assumptions. In Disruption Tolerant...

Transmission mode procedure and test parameters

Impact damage Impact damage is categorized into low-velocity impact damage (LVID) and high-velocity impact damage (HVID). The low-velocity impact is caused by quasi-static force, the higher limit of impactor velocity ranging from one to a few tens of ms−1 depending...
