Design and Development of a Modular Ballistic Pendulum for High‐Impulse Measurement in Contact and Near‐Field Explosive Loading

open access: yesPropellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Measuring impulse from explosive charges in contact and near‐field configurations presents practical challenges due to wide variation in impulse magnitude. Ballistic pendula are widely used for impulse measurement, but many existing designs are limited to narrow operating envelopes or are poorly suited to repeated contact testing and tamped ...

Effects of Different Projectile Nose Shapes on the Impact Performance of the Aluminium 2024 Thin Plate

open access: yesPolytechnic Journal
In this study, the impact performance of the Al2024 thin plate target was determined through a numerical approach. Two different-nosed hard steel projectiles, including a blunt and a sphere, were used in order to obtain the ballistic impact of the target.

Direct Measurement of Explosive Impulse From Contact to the Ultra‐Near Field

open access: yesPropellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Measurement of impulse from explosive charges in contact and ultra‐near‐field regimes remains poorly characterised due to the short duration of loading, high strain rates, and the difficulty of obtaining direct momentum‐based measurements.

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Research on the creation of new UD laminates and its ballistic performance using CSC aramid yarns via experiment and FEA analysis

open access: yesJournal of Industrial Textiles
In this paper, a new type of core-spun compound aramid yarn has been applied in the construction of UD fabric to investigate if the ballistic performance of the whole fabric could be positively influenced.
