Accordion

size, etc. Most crash boxes are designed with several grooves called “crash beads”. The beads are designed to be perpendicular to the frontal or rear crash direction. The beads undergo buckling deformation and make the crash box compress like an accordion, absorbing the energy of impact. The larger the number of plastic buckling is, the more crash energy is absorbed but the less durable the beads become. Thus, conventional crash boxes have the upper limit in the number of beads [2].…

AH, WHAT A MESS. DIVERSITY, that is. Before I launch into a preview of all the intertwined issues that make diversity such a misdirected drama, I’ll start with a simple question: Is diversity a good idea done wrong, or a bad idea done just right? As I will make clear throughout this book, there is nothing inherently wrong with the idea of diversity, and in fact as an idea it evokes tremendous promise. The problem therefore must lie in the execution and in the application, and that indeed is…

People’s lives change in many ways, but everyone experiences at least one time where their life is redefined, and that’s called loss of innocence. In Marigolds, Eugenia W. Collier uses internal conflict to illustrate how knowledge is gained through loss of innocence.

Flipping through this book made me feel as though I was up early on a foggy morning and decided to…

Where my dad grew up, there were few people that had anything above a high-school education. He taught himself how to play guitar and accordion, but that was all he could do besides schoolwork. Due to that, there were few people to help him. He was…
