Ballistic impact response of flexible and rigid UHMWPE textile composites: Experiments and simulations

This study elaborates on the effects of matrix rigidity on the high-velocity impact behaviour of UHMWPE textile composites using experimental and numerical methods. Textile composite samples were manufactured of a plain-weave fabric(comprising Spectra? 1000 fibres) and four different matrix materials.High-velocity impact tests were conducted by launching a spherical steel projectile to strike on the prepared samples via a gas gun. The experimental results showed that the textile composites gradu...     

Effect of interactions of two holes on tensile behavior of patch repaired carbon/epoxy woven laminates

The conventional case of patch repair involves bonding a patch over single damage/hole in the laminate.This work investigates the effect of interaction of two holes on the tensile behavior patch repaired carbon epoxy woven laminates. The specimens of [0°/45°/45°/0°] laminates were repaired with adhesively bonded two-ply [45°]2external patches. Three different cases of drilled specimens were produced with different hole arrangements viz. specimens with single central hole(SH), with two holes alig...

用于核动力攻击潜艇的全综合容错(FIFT)指挥、控制、通信和测量(C~3I)系统

目前,美国实用的潜艇用电气和电子系统设计实际上是彼此独立的。这样的实践限制了利用过去几十年所获得的技术进步的优点。为了使潜艇平台的能力最大化,必须综合传统的、具有类似处理和通信要求的各个系统。本文研究和分析一种可能的称之为FIFT C~3I系统的实现,该系统综合支援潜艇任务的所有主要的电气和电子系统。这样的系统必须有容错能力,以致于使综合系统的可靠性、可用性和安全性等于或优于要替换的现有系统。这种方法的优点很多且可用现有技术和部件实现。     

纯方位目标运动分析的离散时间可观测性和可估计性分析(续)

6 源速度变化的未知时刻 到目前为止(第四、五部分),假定源机动的时刻是已知的。下面,象上述那样,假定一个边接边的源轨迹,我们把前面的可观测性分析推广到源速度变化的未知时刻。 我们考虑下面的阶跃线性系统(参见(5)、(14)、(24)、(30)式)     

Aerial multi-spectral AI-based detection system for unexploded ordnance

Unexploded ordnance(UXO) poses a threat to soldiers operating in mission areas, but current UXO detection systems do not necessarily provide the required safety and efficiency to protect soldiers from this hazard. Recent technological advancements in artificial intelligence(AI) and small unmanned aerial systems(sUAS) present an opportunity to explore a novel concept for UXO detection. The new UXO detection system proposed in this study takes advantage of employing an AI-trained multi-spectral(MS...     

High-Velocity Projectile Impact Behaviour of Friction Stir Welded AA7075 Thick Plates

In this study, high velocity impact behaviour of friction stir welded AA7075-T651 25 mm thick plates were investigated using a 7.62 mm × 51 mm lead core and 7.62 mm × 39 mm steel core projectiles. Prior to ballistic trails, mechanical and metallurgical properties of friction stir welded AA 7075-T651 25 mm thick plates were studied. Microstructural and hardness studies revealed that friction stir welds constituted three distinct regions namely Weld Nugget(WN), Thermo-Mechanically Affected Zone(TM...     

Burning rate analysis of laser controlled 5-aminotetrazole propellant

As an innovative propulsion technique, laser augmented chemical propulsion(LACP) seems superior to the traditional ones. However, the corresponding combustion theories have still to be ascertained for LACP. Burning rate of 5-aminotetrazole(5-ATZ) propellant has been studied by testing pressed samples under different combustor pressures and laser powers. Based on micro computed tomography(Micro CT),an advanced thickness-over-time(TOT) method to characterize the regression of the produced nonplana...     

Microwave absorption properties of carbonyl iron-based paint coatings for military applications

The paper explores the possibilities of using carbonyl iron in the form of a powder for the manufacture of radar-absorbing paints-reducing the radar signature of the objects that they cover. The attenuation values in the range of 4-18 GHz for various coating thicknesses, ranging from 0.5 to 2.00 mm with 0.5 mm increment, and for different absorber content-75% and 80%, as well as the use of two different binders in the form of epoxy resins with hardeners, were investigated. For the frequency of 1...
