系缆龙须角对筒型基础拖航影响试验

系缆龙须角是影响气浮筒型基础拖航的主要因素之一。通过模型试验对顺浪拖航时结构在横向、纵向以及垂向振荡的加速度、筒内气压力和水压力以及拖缆力进行测量。试验结果表明：拖航加速度随着系缆龙须角从0°增大到90°呈先减小后增大的趋势;龙须角为0°时,拖航的加速度、筒内气压力和水压力以及拖缆力变化均明显大于有角度拖航;拖缆力呈脉冲变化,且在45°时取得较小值。因此对于该结构的拖航,为了保证在拖航中既具有较小的拖缆力,又具有较小的横向和垂向振荡,建议选取系缆龙须角为45°。

运用AUTODYN非线性显式动力学程序,对半无限厚钛合金靶板抗105mm钨合金穿甲模拟弹的倾角效应进行了数值模拟计算。结果表明：本数值模拟条件下,倾角小于30°时,半无限厚钛合金靶板抗105mm钨合金穿甲模拟弹的倾角效应不明显;倾角在中大角度（≥30°）时,呈较明显的倾角正效应;105mm钨合金穿甲模拟弹侵彻半无限厚钛合金靶板的跳弹角β在65°～70°间。     

圆柱-双锥结合药型罩结构参数对侵彻性能的影响规律

为提高聚能破甲战斗部的毁伤能力,设计了一种圆柱-双锥结合药型罩。用数值模拟方法,通过对该药型罩的正交优化设计,研究了药型罩圆柱部直径d、高度h、上锥角α、下锥角β对射流头部速度和侵彻深度的影响。研究结果表明,上锥角和圆柱部直径分别是影响射流头部速度和侵彻深度的主要因素。因此,在优化设计中得到了兼顾射流速度和侵彻深度的最佳药型罩结构：d=8 mm、h=12 mm、α=36°和β=56°时,射流头部速度为8 667 m/s,侵彻深度达到173.7 mm。优化设计的研究结果具有一定的实际工程指导意义,可为聚能破甲战斗部的性能提升提供有效的设计方案。     

内置式环形耐压液舱不同周向范围的应力分析

为研究内置式环形耐压液舱在液舱周向范围变化时的力学规律,采用ANSYS有限元法对单壳体内置式耐压液舱进行了强度计算,对液舱与外界是否连通两种载荷工况下的应力情况进了比较分析。结果表明:在两种载荷工况下,液舱周向范围的变化对液舱应力变化的影响规律相同,但液舱内外相连通时的应力值更高;液舱周向范围280°左右时对结构的变形最为有利。     

超声速静风洞设计和流场校侧

论述了静风洞概念并设计和建立了一座小型静风洞SQWT-120。SQWT-120的设计马赫数为4.0,喷管出口直径为120mm,Re=0.46~1.78×107,运行时间为6~60s。测量结果表明,喷管出口马赫数为3.8,在x从160~438mm一段轴向距离内,ΔM/-M≯±1.2%。在P0=0.4MPa,喷管出口6cm处,静压脉动值不超出0.1%,风洞工作时间15s,具备静风洞试验能力。     

陶瓷破片侵彻钛合金薄靶实验及数值模拟研究

为了研究非金属陶瓷破片对钛合金薄靶的侵彻效能,采用弹道冲击实验与有限元数值模拟相结合的方法,开展了破片直径和着靶角度对靶板破坏形态及弹道极限的影响研究。结果表明：在弹道极限情况下,陶瓷破片对钛合金薄靶的侵彻形态主要分为瓣裂穿孔和冲塞穿孔。其中,钛合金靶厚度为0.5～0.8 mm时,靶板的破坏形式主要以瓣裂穿孔为主,靶板厚度为1.0～1.5 mm时,对靶板的破坏形式为瓣裂穿孔和冲塞穿孔2种方式的耦合状态,靶板厚度为2.0 mm时,靶板的破坏方式为冲塞穿孔。随着破片直径的增大,陶瓷破片对靶板的弹道极限(V₅₀)逐渐减小,靶板背面造成的盘式隆起越明显。同时,随着陶瓷破片着角的增加,侵彻靶板的V₅₀也随之增加,当着角大于75°时,破片发生跳飞现象。研究结论对于反卫星武器战斗部威力设计具有重要意义。

基于ABAQUS的曳光管套结构设计与强度分析

曳光弹丸发射过程中,在高过载和高膛压作用下曳光管壳可能发生大的塑性变形甚至断裂,影响曳光药剂正常燃烧,因此设计了用来固定和保护曳光管的管套。压螺与弹体螺纹连接和曳光管壳在高过载作用下的强度校核结果满足要求的前提下,利用ABAQUS软件仿真分析曳光管壳和管套在360 MPa膛压作用下的应力应变,结果显示：曳光管与方案1管套配合时的最大应力为1 026 MPa,最大应变为0.8;与方案2管套配合时的最大应力为844.7 MPa,最大应变为0.05。经分析可知,采用方案1管套时,曳光管壳的局部变形量可使曳光药剂断层、松散;而采用方案2管套时,曳光药剂强度不会发生破坏性变化。通过曳光性能射击试验验证了ABAQUS软件仿真分析结果。     

Putin – the masked nemesis of the strategy of ambiguity

Recent events demonstrate the complex and adaptive approach employed by Russia to reassert influence in Europe. The changing face of Russia’s strategy commenced in 2007 when it launched a crippling cyber-attack against Estonia. This was followed by a large Russian conventional attack against Georgia in 2008, occupying two large areas of the nation. 2014 witnessed the Russian annexation of Crimea where in just a week, Russia seized control of Crimea “without firing a shot.” The annexation of Crimea was rapidly followed by a Russian inspired and led subversive war in eastern Ukraine. The common thread among these diverse Russian operations is its use of ambiguity to confound and confuse decision makers in the West.     

India's counter-insurgency experience: the ‘trust and nurture’ strategy

The Indian Army, a force trained primarily for conventional warfare, has been engaged in internal counter-insurgency operations since the 1950s. Despite such a long innings on a counter-insurgency mode, little attention has been accorded within military circles to doctrinal innovation for waging sub-conventional warfare in India's democratic political context. At best, the Army continues to view counter-insurgency duty as secondary to its primary duty of defending India from external conventional threats. By conceptualizing a counter-insurgency strategy of ‘trust and nurture’, this article aims to fill this critical doctrinal gap in India's military policy. The author argues that a counter-insurgency strategy of ‘trust and nurture’ based on democratic political culture, measured military methods, special counter-insurgency forces, local social and cultural awareness and an integrative nation-building approach will result in positive handling of India's internal security problems. The author utilizes India's counter-insurgency experiences in Assam, Mizoram, Nagaland, Punjab, and Operation ‘Sadhbhavana’ in Jammu and Kashmir as illustrative empirical indicants in order to validate the ‘trust and nurture’ strategy.     

An Unlikely Alliance: Portuguese and South African Airpower in Angola, 1968–1974

The war that Portugal was obliged to fight in Africa began in 1961 and immediately stretched the resources of its armed forces. Nowhere was this thinness more apparent than in policing the vast territory of Angola. The east and southeast of Angola were particularly vulnerable, as the area was a vast, sparsely populated region characterised by enormous featureless plains or chanas covered in tall grass and broken by an extensive river system and mountainous forests. The only military solution to policing these immense spaces was aviation and specifically the helicopter that could carry troops into battle, protect them with a gunship and bring them home when the operation was concluded. The immediate problem for the Portuguese Air Force (Força Aérea Portuguesa or FAP) in Angola and elsewhere was a scarcity of helicopters. The solution was an alliance with South Africa, which had a strong inventory of Alouette IIIs, to help in policing the east. This move was likewise in the interest of South Africa, as its threat came from Zambia through south-eastern Angola. This article examines the strategic and tactical development of this unusual, cross-cultural alliance and the symbiotic relationship that resulted in destruction of the enemies of both in Angola.     

Helping hands: civil–military cooperation and Italy's military operation abroad

In the Post-Bipolar Era the growing complexity of the military operations requires a new approach for the resolution of international crises. Since the end of the Cold War, peace support operations (PSO) have become the mainstay and principal occupation of most Western armies. At the same time, Italy has been one of the most important actors in such an area. The article focuses on the cooperation between military and civil components (a process called CIMIC) as a key variable in the Italian PSOs. We will analyse in detail the main lessons learned from past military interventions as well as the general context in which new tendencies are taking place. The maintaining of a minimum security frame becomes essential to fulfil activities ‘collateral’ to the mission: reconstructing services and infrastructure, food distribution, water and medication, law and order, de-mining, training of local forces, and supporting local institutions. These are the main tasks to obtain thrust and support from the population.     

Terrorism,insurgency, kidnapping,and security in Africa's energy sector

Energy continues to serve as the bedrock of modern economies and the main driver of modern society. For Africa, the production and supply of energy resources such as crude oil, natural gas, uranium, coal, biomass, biofuels and other renewables are an important source of employment, rents, taxes, royalties and profits. This sector brings in several tens of billions of dollars of revenue annually. The production and delivery of such resources, however, depend on critical infrastructures such as pipelines, refineries, processing plants, terminals, rigs, electrical energy pylons, substations, pump stations, vessels, and tankers. These infrastructures have been attacked by terrorists, insurgents, vandals and saboteurs, all of whom see them as targets against which to register their grievances and extract concessions from the state. This paper is a chronological account of some of the documented incidents of terrorism, insurgency, kidnapping, destruction, sabotage, and human casualties suffered in the oil and gas sectors in Africa between 1999 and 2012. It is based on data extracted from the databases of the RAND Database of World Terrorism Incidents and the University of Maryland's Global Terrorism Database (GTD).

A Sign of Victory?: ‘Scottish Swords’ and Other Weapons in the Possession of the ‘Auld Innemie’

Many late medieval documents, notably inventories of arms and armour, of Englishmen contain references to ‘Scottish swords’ and other weapons. What did the compilers of these documents mean when they described a weapon as ‘Scottish’? How did such weapons come to be in the possession of these men? This article will attempt to explain this phenomenon drawing on primary documentary sources and surviving material culture from Glasgow Museums’ collections and others, as well as artworks from the period.     

Tacit support for terrorism: The rapprochement between the USSR and Palestinian guerrilla organizations following the 1967 war

This article demonstrates the inconsistent and wavering Soviet attitude towards national liberation movements in general and the Palestinian organizations in particular. Until the late 1960s, the Soviets viewed these organizations with suspicion, hesitating to engage in political dialogue with them. However, in the 1970s, political and military events in the region, as well as modifications in the Kremlin's Cold War strategies, led to a general shift towards the Middle East in Soviet foreign policy. Soviet leaders showed increased willingness to provide certain Palestinian organizations with arms with which to conduct terrorist activities against Israeli, pro-Israeli, Jewish and Western targets. The article explores the complex relations between Palestinian organizations and the USSR in the field of international terror. The study also exposes and analyzes the nature and content of Soviet–Palestinian arms dialogues and transactions. It provides clear evidence that Soviet policymakers and other luminaries were fully informed of, and sometimes directly involved in, these transactions and dialogues at the highest levels.     

A1 Qaeda and the radical Islamic challenge to western strategy

The September 11 global crisis prompted by the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon raises major questions concerning the nature and trajectory of terrorism in the post-Cold War global order. Hitherto, terrorism has been largely debated by analysts at the level of nation states. Terrorist and insurgent movements have also been largely anchored in nationalist and ethnic power bases even when they have sought to mobilise a transnational ideological appeal on religious or class grounds. There have been a few exceptions to this pattern such as the alliance between the German Baader-Meinhof group and the Japanese Red Army Faction, but even such international alliances as this did not, until at least the 1980s, presage anything like a global terrorist network necessitating a global strategic response. This study examines terrorism and global strategic responses.
