The response of biological phantoms against high velocity impact is actively sought for applications in defense, space, soft robotics and sensing.Towards this end, we study the ballistic response of silicone based skin simulant against Ottomans fragment impact.Using a pneumatic gas gun setup, six chisel-nosed and three regular shaped (sphere, cylin

The bare rock areas along the eastern coast of Lutzow-Holm Bay are topographically classified into (1) strandflat, (2) hilly lands, (3) mountains, and (4) recessional moraines, which had been described as divisible into two: hilly lands and mountains (YOSHIKAWA and TOYA, 1957), or flat surface and mountains including hilly lands (TATSUMI and KIKUCH
