The Armoury of His Grace the Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry [PDF]
It is rare for an historian to walk into a room and be awestruck by what he finds there. This was the author’s experience on being invited to view the Buccleuch Collection of arms at armour at Boughton House.

Concept of Short-Range Radar and Counter-Projectile for Detecting and Countering Armour-Piercing Projectiles [PDF]
During warfare and acts of terrorism an extreme threat to vehicles and other high-value assets comes from armour-piercing projectiles. Under these conditions, defence systems should include devices capable of rapid detection of these threats.

Visual Methods to Assess Strain Fields in Armour Materials Subjected to Dynamic Deformation—A Review
When impacted by a projectile, ballistic protection undergoes very large strain rates over very short periods of time. During these impact events, materials will undergo a very short region of elastic deformation, before undergoing significant plastic ...

Complexity evaluation for the implementation of a pre-FFT equalizer in an OFDM receiver [PDF]
A pre-FFT equalizer (PFE) has been shown to offer a significant throughput efficiency improvement when applied to an OFDM receiver. Alternatively, the PFE can be used to increase the maximum delay spread conditions under which the OFDM system can operate

Melby presents a formula to predict damage evolution in rubble-mound breakwaters whose armour layer is made of rock, based on the erosion measured in scale-model tests and the characteristics of the incident sea waves in such tests. However, this formula

Wounding patterns and human performance in knife attacks: optimising the protection provided by knife-resistant body armour [PDF]
Stab attacks generate high loads,1 and to defeat them, armour needs to be of a certain thickness and stiffness.2,3 Slash attacks produce much lower loads and armour designed to defeat them can be far lighter and more flexible.Methods and subjects: Phase

On the Origin of Armour-marking in the German-speaking Lands [PDF]
Master mark is one of the main basics for the correct attribution of the European armour. However, on studying the armour suits, manufactured before the second half of the 15th century, scholars are inevitably faced with the problem that no country ...

Flexible Modular Armour for Protection Against the 5.56 x 45 mm SS109 Projectiles [PDF]
The paper presents the results of the depth of penetration tests (DOP) and numerical simulations of the 5.56 x 45 mm SS109 projectile impact onto passive, layered armours placed on the armour backing material.
