线型炸药羽状水幕视频分析

为防御高速掠海飞行的反舰巡航导弹对海军舰船的袭击,海军水面战中心(达黑格伦)分部(简称NSWCDD)正致力开发一项有效的防御技术,这项技术采用了一种新型的杀伤武器——水幕,这将为海军舰船提供一种费用低而通用性好的末端防御系统。水幕是由若干水下爆炸物在浅水爆炸后形成的。为支持水幕防御技术的发展并验证其价值,1995年7月进行了鳞片状线形炸药的水下爆炸试验,试验的目的是为了确定连续型和离散型线形炸药在水下爆炸后在空中形成喷射水柱的数量。长30～56英尺装有C-4炸药的连续型线形炸药在水下爆炸后在水面上形成羽状水雾。装有C-4炸药,重10磅,间距8英尺的5到8枚离散型线形炸药在水下依次爆炸后同样可以形成羽状水雾。线形炸药的布放深度和离散型炸药的水平间距应使喷射水柱的数量最大。安置在线形炸药垂直和平行方向的VHS摄像机以每秒30帧的速度拍摄下水幕的形成过程,爆炸试验产生的水幕尺寸可以通过记录在录像带上的数字化图像来确定。本报告提出了这一系列(爆炸)试验中分别由连续和离散型线形炸药的水下爆炸生成的水幕高度和外形测量结果。     

美国海军用基于知识的实时系统进行态势评估

本文分析了海上态势和威胁评估过程,使用一种被称之为MUSE的基于知识的实时系统提供了某种态势评估子函数执行的数字的结果。文中首先简单介绍了MUSE系统,介绍了MUSE仿真器,这种仿真器如远程雷达,中程雷达,火控雷达和电子支援措施(ESM),敌我识别(IFF)以及数据链传感器产生实时空中航迹。提供了一幅海上态势和威胁评估的功能图,同时提供了这两个过程的最重要的子功能。论述了这些子功能在防空驱逐舰的操纵室里的任务以及如何使用MUSE基于知识的系统来为这些子功能进行电脑建模。论述了统计实验。在统计实验中,用仿真器在SUN SPARC10工作站上产生了三百秒的实时空中航迹数据,通过以太网传送到在SUN SPARC5工作站上运行的MUSE基于知识的态势评估系统。文中也对这个基于知识的系统所产生结果进行了评价。     

低雷诺数壁面约束流动皮托管测速误差分析与校正

针对低雷诺数壁面约束流动中皮托管测速误差产生的两大主要影响因素——剪切速度与近壁效应,采用计算流体力学技术分别对其进行数值模拟,并研究各自引起的误差变化规律。数值模拟结果表明:虽然剪切速度引起的流线偏移规律与相关文献结论基本一致,但是数值结果预测的流线偏移量并不是一个渐近函数;近壁距离在5倍管径即出现较为明显的测量误差,并且发现近壁距离在1倍管径处出现误差的非单调性变化。最后通过将数值模拟结果与现有的修正方法进行对比,提出了更为合理的修正方程。

Shielding and corrosion properties of the Alloy 709 as canister material for spent nuclear fuel dry casks

The shielding and corrosion properties of the Alloy 709 advanced austenitic stainless steel have been investigated as a candidate canister material in spent fuel dry casks. The results revealed that the experimental and computational data of the linear and mass attenuation coefficients of the alloy are in good agreement, in which the attenuation coefficient values decreased with increasing photon energy.Alloy 709 was shown to exhibit the highest linear attenuation coefficient against gamma rays ...     

Natural vibration of cantilever porous twisted plate with variable thickness in different directions

In this paper, the blade is assumed to be a rotating variable thickness cantilever twisted plate structure,and the natural vibrations of variable thickness cantilever twisted plate made of metal porous material are studied. It is assumed that the thickness of the plate changes along spanwise direction and chordwise direction, respectively, and it changes in both directions. The classical thin shell theory, the first and second fundamental forms of surface and von Karman geometric relationship ar...     

The role of physical properties in explosive welding of copper to stainless steel

This paper investigates the effects of the physical properties on the microstructure and weldability of explosive welding by joining two metals with a significant contrast in thermophysical properties:stainless steel and copper. Sound welds between stainless steel and copper were obtained, and the interfacial morphology was wavy, regardless of the position of the materials. The weldability of dissimilar pairs was found to be more dependent on the relationship between the physical properties of t...     

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...
