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...     

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...     

美国进军也门旨在遏制中国

如果美国能够控制亚丁湾和马六甲海峡,那么它将会在印度洋上的这场“宏大的博弈”中取得不可撼动的地位。美方想以控制上述所有战略要地向中方发出一个强烈的信息：如果认为美国在亚洲的影响力已大幅下降,那将是大错特错。     

小时候父亲这样教我

当我还坐在婴儿椅上的时候,父亲有一天带回家一堆小瓷片,就是那种装修浴室用的各种颜色的玩艺儿。我父亲把它叠垒起来,弄成像多米诺骨牌似的,然后我推动一边,它们就全倒了。过一会儿,我又帮着把小瓷片重新堆起来。 这次父亲让我变出些复杂点儿的花样：两白一蓝,两白一蓝 ......我母亲忍不住说：“唉,你让小家伙随便玩不就是了？他爱在哪儿加个蓝,就让他加好了。” 可我父亲回答道,“这不行,我正教他什么是序列,并告诉他这是多么有趣呢！这是数学的第一步。”我家有一套《大英百科全书》,父亲常让我坐在他的膝上,给我读里边的…     

寻求新生的墨西哥海军

墨西哥位于北美洲南部,濒临太平洋和墨西哥湾,领土面积约190万平方公里,海岸线长达9300公里。墨西哥本应成为该地区重要的军事强国,但是它依赖美国抵御外来侵略,自己的武装部队仅充当维护内部安全的角色。无论从人员上还是从可用舰船数量上来讲,墨西哥海军一直与此不相称。墨西哥海军实质上只是一支海岸警备队,军事潜力非常有限。舰队虽然也拥有少数新式舰艇,但多数舰艇均是在20世纪40年代末期甚至更早服役的。整个舰队就像是20世纪海军技术博物馆。     

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...     

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...     

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...
