Hail impact on structures such as building envelopes and vehicles can cause huge
economic loss every year. Numerical simulation of the hail impact process is crucial for the …

Hail is one of the leading causes of annual property damage, that in turn results in economic
loss and material waste. The associated risk affects several industries and parties including …

In spite of colossal damage caused to aluminium panels in hailstorms, there is currently no
rational design procedure found on research to regulate the design of building claddings or …

Collision of overheight vehicles into bridge superstructures often leads to structural damage,
posing an immediate risk to the safety of motorists and the functionality of bridges …

Over-height collisions into bridge superstructures often lead to structural damage, posing an
