Honeycombs Inspire Safety Designs

Honeycombs Inspire Safety Designs Honeycombs Inspire Safety Designs Honeycombs Inspire Safety DesignsWhen you think of designs that assist safety, honeycombs might not immediately come to mind. But they have been utilized for years and Carolyn Conner Seepersad, associate professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Texas at Austin, believes the negative stiffness honeycombs her team is working on could increase the safety of a wide variety of products, from automobiles to helmets.Think a honeycomb cant stand up to high speeds? Seepersad says a honeycomb the size of a human hand can stop a 100-mph fastball. With the honeycombs that are made out of plastic, the problem is bouncing back after impact but, with what were working on with negative stiffness, it can withstand impact many times, she says.But what is negative stiffness? Prof. Michael Haberman, member of the team and research scientist at the school, says one example to think of would be if you pushed on a spring an d it actually assisted your pushing instead of the reverse.Conventional honeycomb structure (left) vs new NS honeycomb (right). ansehen The University of Texas at AustinFor the honeycomb, it bounces back through the cell geometry they devised, Seepersad says.A honeycomb structure like the one we have gets lots of energy absorption typically youll buckle the cell walls, Haberman says. We do it elastically, while the aluminum ones do it plastically instead. They end up damaged when load is applied. For us, its done elastically and they absorb energy and can bounce back to the original configuration.This can be isolated in a personal protection helmet, for example. What will happen is once you have an impact with the outside of the helmet, you start to absorb energy at what we call a forced threshold, Seepersad says. This means whatever is underneath it can isolate at a constant rate of G level, she explains. The honeycombs buckle at a particular load. When you can predict it, you can design it for a particular G level.As far as the testing, Haberman says they started by doing vibration transmissionability tests, getting the idea of how negative stiffness would respond to vibration. Those transmission cases were measured, for example, by putting it on a shaker or vibration table and measuring aspects such as input acceleration and output acceleration.They also did drop tests. This was where they put the honeycomb structures on a base and drop a mass on top of them. They used accelerometers to measure mass as it was falling onto the honeycomb.But that still leaves mora testing to be done, and the team wants to move into creating dimensions to absorb different types of impact from a different direction. Still, the design has many potential applications, even auto racing, and that can require more modifications.Seepersad says the honeycomb type structure is in everything from tree trunks to the interior part of human bone. In the end, she believes this work may help us appreciate nature inspiring science to help save lives.Eric Butterman is an independent writer.

How to Bounce Back from 3 Common Job Interview Blunders

How to Bounce Back from 3 Common Job Interview BlundersHow to Bounce Back from 3 Common Job Interview BlundersMistakes are a part of life, so dont beat yourself up if you happen to make one during a job bewerbungsinterview. Instead, quickly turn your energy toward rectifying the situation youll show the prospective employer that youre a competent problem-solver who knows how to make the best out of a bad situation.Heres a look at three common job interview blunders and how to bounce back from them1. Youre going to be late.You forgot to set your alarm clock or underestimated how long it would take to drive to the interview site, and now theres no way youll make it in at the scheduled time. Do you still have a shot at the job?Yes. While such a scenario doesnt get the relationship off on the best note, call to apologize and give the interviewer a heads-up. Youll show respect for the rolles time and demonstrate that you own up to mistakes. Ask if it is still okay to come in today or if y ou might have a second chance on another day. And then get there2. Nerves are getting the better of you.Youre having trouble focusing or the answers coming out of your mouth arent the ones you practiced, and now youre worried that the interviewer has a bad impression (which makes your palms sweat even more). How can you right the ship?Take a few breaths to center yourself and shake off the interview jitters, rather than worry about what youve already said or done. Time still exists for you to shine.And if you find yourself rambling- a common occurrence when nervous- heed this advice from Michelle Petrazzuolo, senior HR professional at Petrazzuolo HR. Take a pause. Its perfectly okay to stop and say, Let me think for a moment I want to give you a thoughtful answer to this. That gives you a couple of beats to collect yourself and try again.3. Youre underprepared.A series of disruptions kept you from completing much research on the company. Or you left your list of questions on the din ing room table. How can you still come off as a competent, interested candidate?Valerie Streif, senior advisor for Mentat, says its crucial to still try to make the interview an exchange rather than an interrogation. Ask general questions like Whats your favorite part about working for this company? or What do the next five years of growth goals look like for the company? as a way to save yourself and gather more information about the role.And then follow up with an exceptional thank-you note, even if you dont feel the interview went very well. Thoughtfully elaborate on an issue discussed or present a possible solution to a departmental problem- whatever you can todemonstrate your concern for this company and your desire for this job.Know someone looking for a job?

Sales Manager Finds a Job Close to Home

Sales Manager Finds a Job Close to HomeSales Manager Finds a Job Close to HomeDonald Wroble welchesnt ready to uproot his family from Atlanta. So he turned to Ladders to find his third job through the site.Donald Wroble has had a lot of practice selling himself the past several years. Thats why, when the SalesLadder member started looking for a new job in January, he was ready to attack the job search with confidence.I would say, as a professional marketer, the best thing you can do for yourself is to stay on top of what is happening in your field, and find out what unique skills you can market, he said. That way, youre ready when you have to find a new job.In 2005, Wroble had left his position as a sales manager for BASF, a weltumspannend chemical company, when the company went through a number of restructurings. In the next four years, he worked for two other companies that also went through reorganizations, each time finding aleidher position through Ladders.By January 2008, he ha d landed at GE Energy, in a marketing role, working to get the company into the chemical industry. In January 2009, GE Energy was changing gears. The company asked him to relocate to Houston. It was not an ideal time for him to move his family, so it was time once again to use Ladders.There was no way I was going to relocate my family, he said. I had one kid in high school and another in middle school, and houses were not selling. I wanted to stay in Atlanta. So I started looking for another job.An interim stay in HoustonStill, he continued working for his employer, living in Houston while his family stayed in Atlanta. He devoted his off-hours to looking for a job. It was a good four-month search, he said. I did the normal networking that everyone recommends, but in a down market, that wasnt as fruitful as it might have been.And, while he wanted to stay in Atlanta, there were a few other cities he considered, including Louisville, Ky., and Chicago. I didnt want to limit my opportuni ties, he said. But I knew my kids didnt want to move. So we picked just a few cities where we wouldnt mind being.One of the features Wroble said he likes best about Ladders is the fact that he can search keywords specific to the type of job he is looking for and the geographical area he would like to be in, and that Ladders will send him alerts when those jobs appear. In his case, director jobs in sales in Atlanta. Its a great matching service, he said.The fact that he was working full time while conducting his search made it all much easier for him. The best thing is I could be traveling anywhere in the world but could still check on my job hunt, he said. It was key for me to be able to spend at least 30 minutes to an hour every day on it. Youve got to stay focused on your search.Wroble said he sent hundreds of resumes during his six-month search before he found his perfect job.I saw a job listed on Ladders that I knew was the perfect job. I knew the company, it was well respected in the chemical industry, and they were looking for a global sales director, something I had learned in previous jobs. It involved customer service and tech service. And, theres room to grow.And, best of all, it was based in Atlanta.Wroble sent his resume, and the company, PolyOne, the worlds largest compounder and distributor of plastics, responded immediately. After a phone conversation with the hiring manager, they set up an in-person meeting for the following week, when he would be home visiting his family. Even though he got off the airplane with a case of laryngitis from allergies, he was able to make enough of an impression on the folks at PolyOne that a few weeks later his eventual boss flew to Houston to meet with him. One more meeting in Atlanta with more PolyOne executives, and he was offered the job.He started in mid-July as the global director of sales, in the specialty-ink division.Why you should watch the job market while youre employedWroble said he believes that bei ng in the job market so much over the past several years may have been stressful, but it was also good preparation for this position. I was at BASF for 20 years, and I had a good job, so I never looked outside to see what was happening in the marketplace. I didnt know my value in the market. But once things changed there, and I had to go outside, I learned a lot from researching other companies, interviewing and working other places. And I was able to better assess my value Ive been able to almost double my salary since working at BASF.Wroble suggested that people, whether they feel the need to change jobs or not, should go out into the market every year or so, just to see what is available. That way you can stay in practice, so when you do need a job, youve got the skills down.As for himself, Wroble said hes had enough practice for a while. There is a lot of great opportunity with this job, and I am hoping to stay put for a while, he said. The thought that we might have to move put a lot of stress on our family. Id certainly like to stick around and let the kids schliff school here.

Spa Manager Exercises Her Options

Spa Manager Exercises Her OptionsSpa Manager Exercises Her OptionsCharisse transparent found her dream job at a brand new Lasik spa but it welchesnt opening for another year. Undeterred, she moved to her parents home to be closer to the spas headquarters and win the job.Moving back in with yur parents after youve lost a job might signal defeat for some people. For 36-year-old Charisse Banner, it welches a sign that shed won over her new employer as she staked out a job that she knew welches a perfect fit.The OpsLadder member had been manager of a spa in Northern California last December when the chain decided to close all its California locations. Banner, who loved working in the spa industry and the region, welches determined to find another job in her industry and stay in the San Francisco Bay area. So she did what most Northern Californians do when they are looking for a job.I went to Craigslist, she said. Anyone who lives in San Francisco does that. But the listings service, whi ch advertises everything from free couches to tech services, didnt really deliver the personal touch that she was hoping for.I did end up finding a few jobs that interested me, but when I got a call back, I felt the people who were doing the preliminary interviews were very rushed I didnt feel I could get across who I was, Banner said. One reason Im in the spa business is I like accommodating people and giving great service. I know they were trying to weed through 500 applicants. But there was no personal connection.After about a month of searching through Craigslist, Banner started looking for other sites and signed up for Ladders.What I loved about Ladders is that they would send you an e-mail, matching jobs with what you were looking for, she said. Its almost like a dating site. They do the work, they tell you whats right for you. Youre not looking through pages and pages of stuff that isnt right for you.Banner said the job postings that she received were jobs she was interested, but nothing was located in the Bay area.Determined to stay put, she didnt apply to any of them. Still, those kept her spirits up as she entered the second month of unemployment. There were a lot of great jobs, just not in the area where I wanted to live, she said. But it kept my hope alive. I saw there were good jobs out there, and I saw that Ladders knew the kind of job that I wanted.The perfect jobIn February, Banner saw a job on Ladders that she knew was the perfect job for her. Except for one thing. The job was based in Los Angeles, she said. But I looked at it, and I rewrote my cover letter, because I was willing to make some changes for this perfect job. I spent a few hours rewriting my cover letter. Then, when I went back to the site to actually apply for the job, the location of the job had changed to San Francisco.What Banner later found out was that the company, which had spas in other locations, was looking to expand. It had determined that the Los Angeles area was satur ated and decided to move the spa to the Bay area. The position, a center director for a new location that was being built, required someone who could also talk about site selection and help with construction and build-out decisions. Banner, who had worked in condominium sales before coming to the spa industry, felt she was the perfect candidate for the job.Who would have thought that spa and real estate would go together? she said. I couldnt have been more excited, and I think one of the reasons they responded to me was because I was able to express that excitement in my cover letter.Two hours after sending her resume, Banner received a call from the founder of the company, a doctor who owned several Lasik eye centers with medical spas attached. Banner spoke to him for over an hour she learned that he was based in south Florida, where she had gone to college and her parents now live, and shared her interest in his project. It was a real personal connection he was interested in heari ng about me, and I think he was happy to talk to someone who was as excited about his project as he was.It was early February, and because the job had just been listed, the doctor was cautious as he moved ahead. He mentioned hed be in San Francisco in April and suggested they set up a meeting. Banner had another idea. I bought a plane ticket to visit my parents and suggested we get together and talk while I was in Florida, she said.In early March, she met with him as well as the companys national manager. At the conclusion of those meetings, she felt even more sure the job could be hers. But the company was still moving slowly. Like any new project, deadlines kept changing, and they didnt expect to need anyone in the position until at least June. And I was thinking, what would I do until June? she said.A new moveDisappointed but still determined, she made sure they had plans to meet when the doctor came to San Francisco in April. At that meeting, said Banner, as they discussed plans for the spa, I asked him something about the business, and he said, Thats not my job, thats your job. It was sounding more and more like it was my job. At the end of our two-hour conversation, when he asked me if I could recommend someone to help in the call center in Florida, I said, Why dont I just come and do it? If you can assure me that the director job is mine, this would give me an opportunity to learn about the business and get to know the national director. It would be a good way to know one another. He agreed. Banner put her belongings in storage, gave up her San Francisco apartment and moved in with her parents.She is now the center director for the Viso Lasik Medspa, which will open in San Jose in January. She expects to be in Florida until at least the end of October and will then head back to the Bay area to supervise the opening of the spa, which is planned for January.In on the ground floorDespite the long wait and the moves, Banner is very happy with the way things have gone. Its an opportunity for this to be my baby from the beginning. How often do you get the opportunity to be with something from the get-go? Ill be selecting the staff on the spa side and working to set up the spa.Banner said she felt that this job was perfect for her, so she said convincing the owners of the spa that she was the right person was not so much a sales pitch as convincing them of the truth. You have to have the confidence that this is the right job for you. If you do, then you shouldnt be afraid to put yourself in front of the people you need to.As for living with her parents, she said, Most people move back in with their parents because they dont have a job. I was lucky enough to have them to move in with to help me get this job. Besides, she adds, They are snowbirds, so they are gone during the summer. So Im basically on my own here.
