Mathematical relations related to the lode parameter for studies of ductility
(2016)
During plastic flow, hydrostatic pressure and plastic strain control the size of the
yield surface while the Lode angle is responsible for its shape. The von Mises
yield condition shows no dependency of the Lode angle ...
Projected area and drag coefficient of high velocity irregular fragments that rotate or tumble
(2017)
3 degrees of freedom (DOF) exterior ballistic computer models are used in fragment studies to calculate individual trajectories of each fragment based on drag coefficient and the projected (presented) area in the direction ...
On the study of ricochet and penetration in sand, water and gelatin by spheres, 7.62 mm APM2, and 25?mm projectiles
(2016)
We examine the ricochet and penetration behavior in sand, water and gelatin by steel spheres, 7.62 mm APM2 and 25 mm projectiles. A threshold impact angle (critical angle) exists beyond which ricochet cannot occur. The ...
Micro indentation hardness testing of commercial-grade RDX crystals
(2016)
This paper describes the continuous micro indentation hardness testing of two
commercial grades of RDX with differing shock sensitivities using three (3)
different loads on a Berkovich indenter to obtain values of elastic ...
Experimental and numerical study of the fragmentation of expanding warhead casings by using different numerical codes and solution techniques
(2014)
There has been increasing interest in numerical simulations of fragmentation of expanding warheads in 3D. Accordingly there is a pressure on developers of leading commercial codes, such as LS-DYNA, AUTODYN and IMPETUS Afea, ...
