Ballistic performance of optimised light weight composite armour

open access: yesForces in Mechanics, 2023
This research paper presents a comprehensive investigation into the response of a 3D finite element model when subjected to 7.62 AP projectiles. The study utilises Hetherington's armour composite equation and incorporates the Johnson-Holmquist material ...

Coexisting Rashba/Dresselhaus Spin Splitting in Solution‐Processed Bournonite Films Using Circular Photogalvanic Effect

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Circular photogalvanic effect measurements and first‐principles calculations reveal spin‐splitting states in solution‐processed bournonite films (CuPbSbS3) due to structural and bulk inversion asymmetry. The results provide experimental confirmation of coexisting Rashba and Dresselhaus spin‐splitting states in this non‐centrosymmetric chalcogenide ...

The impact of the coupling relationship between projectile size and yarn dimension on the ballistic performance of plain weave fabric

open access: yesDefence Technology
Aramid fibers, due to their relatively high inter-yarn friction, high strength, high modulus, and other characteristics, have become a typical representative of flexible anti-ballistic materials in modern warfare. Current research on the anti-penetration

Effect of Periphery Fixity on Ballistic Limit of Thin Aluminum Plate Subjected to Blunt and Ogival Projectile Impact

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 2014
Three-dimensional numerical simulations were carried out with the ABAQUS/explicit finite element code to study the influence of target boundary conditions on its ballistic limit. 1mm thick 1100-H12 aluminum target of 255 mm span diameter was hit by 19 mm

Giant mesoscopic spin Hall effect on surface of topological insulator [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We study mesoscopic spin Hall effect on the surface of topological insulator with a step-function potential. The giant spin polarization induced by a transverse electric current is derived analytically by using McMillan method in the ballistic transport ...

Quasi‐Static to Supersonic Energy Absorption of Nanoarchitected Tubulanes and Schwarzites

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Nanoarchitected energy‐absorptive Tubulanes exhibit record energy absorption under quasi‐static conditions and exceptional inelastic energy dissipation under 750 m s−1 ballistics impact, with high performance spanning strain rates of 12 orders of magnitude.

Edge effects in graphene nanostructures: II. Semiclassical theory of spectral fluctuations and quantum transport [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We investigate the effect of different edge types on the statistical properties of both the energy spectrum of closed graphene billiards and the conductance of open graphene cavities in the semiclassical limit. To this end, we use the semiclassical Green'

Nanolayer‐Encapsulated Stretchable Liquid‐Metal Sheets for Thermal Management

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A stretchable liquid metal sheet with both high thermal conductivity and mechanical flexibility is developed. Its trilayer structure, comprising copper‐particle‐dispersed gallium liquid metal encapsulated by styrene‐butadiene‐styrene nanosheets, shows 40.4 W m−1 K−1 conductivity, elongation exceeding 200%, and retention of 96% of its initial ...
