Recent progress in developing ballistic and anti-impact materials:Nanotechnology and main approaches

With increasing international and civilian conflicts, developing advanced body armor has become an emerging field in academia and industry. Nanotechnology, by means of, incorporating nanomaterials, is considered a highly effective technique to achieve this goal. It has been widely studied in defense applications owing to high strength-to-weight ratios and excellent energy absorption capability of nanomaterials. Hence, this review encompasses the latest application of nanotechnology involving nan...     

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...     

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...     

论产权结构多元化在市场经济体制中的基础地位

建立完善的现代企业制度,是社会主义市场经济的基础,而实现股权多元化,则是建立现代企业制度的基础。据国家统计局对全国2000多家已完成改制的国有企业的调查,1997年末,国有独资公司占已改制企业的27.8％;在国家控股企业的注册资本中,国有资本占73.6％,集体资本占1.9％,法人资本占13.5％(大多数为     

F-22A“大肚难容”

作为美国下一代主力战斗机,F-22A“猛禽”是当今世界上最先进的战斗机。在设计中,美国把隐身性能放在了第一位,因此武器完全安装在了机身内部。虽然这减小了雷达反射面积,但这种武器挂载方式却也给F-22带来了一些问题。
