High intensity noise/impulse transmission through a bench model consisting of the simplified ear canal, eardrum, and middle ear cavity was investigated using the CFX/ANSYS software package with fluid-structure interactions. The nondimensional fluid-structure interaction parameter q and the dimensionless impulse were used to describe the interactions between the high intensity pressure impulse and eardrum or tympanic membrane (TM). We found that the pressure impulse was transmitted through the straight ear canal to the TM, and the reflected overpressure at the TM became slightly higher than double the incident pressure due to the dynamic pressure (shocks) effect. Deformation of the TM transmits the incident pressure impulse to the middle ear cavity. The pressure peak in the middle ear cavity is lower than the incident pressure. This pressure reduction through the TM was also observed in our experiments that have dimensions similar to the simulation bench model. We also found that the increase of the pressure ratio as a function of the incident pressure is slightly larger than the linear growth rate. The growth rate of the pressure ratio in this preliminary study suggests that the pressure increase in the middle ear cavity may become sufficiently high to induce auditory damage and injury depending on the intensity of the incident sound noise.

With the increase of mining intensity, mining causes significant dynamic disturbance and dynamic disasters, which have exerted a great influence on the safety and high-efficiency of production. This article based on the study of the displacement tendency of the rock masses on or under fractured face of the key layer, deduces the vertical stress calculation formula of the rock mass under the fractured face which indicates that the vertical stress is correlative with the length of fault block in key layer, the depth of key layer, the distance between key layer and mining coal seam, the equivalent elastic modulus of coal stratum underlying the key layer and so on; And then by numerical simulation, it studies the dynamic disturbance effect on front coal-rock masses as the key layer fractures which shows that dynamic disturbance effect caused by high intensity mining is relatively conspicuous on the fractured stratum (the key layer), the stratum under the fractured one and the stratum in the advancing direction of working face; As for the stratum on the fractured one (the key layer),the dynamic disturbance effect becomes less conspicuous as they grow farther away from the fractured one.

A new high intensity grid cap has been designed for the RCA-EMU-3 electron microscope. Various parameters of the new grid cap were investigated to determine its characteristics. The increase in illumination produced provides ease of focusing on the fluorescent screen at magnifications from 1500 to 50,000 times using an accelerating voltage of 50 KV.The EMU-3 type electron gun assembly consists of a V-shaped tungsten filament for a cathode with a thin metal threaded cathode shield and an anode with a central aperture to permit the beam to course the length of the column. The cathode shield is negatively biased at a potential of several hundred volts with respect to the filament. The electron beam is formed by electrons emitted from the tip of the filament which pass through an aperture of 0.1 inch diameter in the cap and then it is accelerated by the negative high voltage through a 0.625 inch diameter aperture in the anode which is at ground potential.
