Abstract. Grain entrapments remain a major concern in the grain industry, with 1,100 incidents documented since the 1970s. One particular concern is the ability of a victim to breathe while entrapped in grain. Anecdotal reports suggest that victims struggle to breathe when entrapped in grain to a depth that covers their chests, yet some evidence indicates that victims should be able to breathe normally as long as their airways are not blocked regardless of depth. The hypothesis for this discrepancy is that previously published experiments measured an active stress state in the grain, while a person breathing also experiences a passive stress state during inhalation. The passive stress is significantly larger than the active stress. The objective of this study was to measure the passive stress when pushing against grain, such as during inhalation, and compare it to active stress state measurements. An MTS Criterion testing machine, which is a force deformation testing device, was used to push a block horizontally against a column of grain and record the force and displacement during the movement. The measured passive stress was calculated from the force and displacement values and ranged from 9.4 to 11.0 kPa at a depth of 20 to 30 cm. These values are three to four times larger than previously published measurements of stresses at similar depths. This result indicates that the discrepancy between experimental results and anecdotal reports is most likely due to the type of stress state experienced in grain entrapment. Findings imply that the pressures on the victim’s chest during entrapment are sufficient to cause breathing difficulties or crush/positional asphyxiation in some cases. A full-scale study is recommended. Keywords: Active pressure, Corn pressure, Farm safety, Grain rescue, Passive pressure, Rib cage.

In this paper, the influence of the inplane boundary conditions on the vibration frequencies and the buckling load of plates reinforced with a system of parallel beams is presented. The adopted model for the dynamic analysis of the ribbed plate takes into account the resulting inplane forces and deformations of the plate as well as the axial forces and deformations of the beam, due to combined response of the system. The analysis consists in isolating the beams from the plate by sections parallel to the lower outer surface of the plate. The analysis of the vibration problem of a ribbed plate subjected to inplane forces is based on the capability to establish a flexibility matrix with respect to a set of nodal mass points using the Analog Equation Method (AEM) for the static ribbed plate problem. Moreover, a lumped mass matrix is constructed from the tributary mass areas to the nodal mass points. The buckling load is established using the dynamic criterion. From the obtained results it is shown that both the vibration frequencies and the buckling load may be significantly influenced by the inplane boundary conditions.
