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

Propellants, 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.

Preventing Plasma‐Induced Resist Hardening in Molybdenum Disulfide Transistors via Sacrificial Metal Mask Lithography

Small, EarlyView.
Photoresist (PR) residue significantly degrades the electrical performance of 2D semiconductors such as MoS2. In particular, the intrinsically ultrathin nature of these materials makes them highly susceptible to damage during conventional PR cleaning procedures.

High energy ballistic and fracture comparison between multilayered armor systems using non-woven curaua fabric composites and aramid laminates

Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 2017
For personal protection against high kinetic energy projectiles, multilayered armor systems (MAS) are usually the best option. They combine synergistically the properties of different materials such as ceramics, composites and metals. In the present work,

Crash Behavior of DP800–DP1000 Advanced High‐Strength Steel’s Dissimilar Resistance Spot Welded Joints Under Quasi‐static and High Strain Rates

steel research international, EarlyView.
The high‐strain‐rate behavior of resistance spot‐welded DP800–DP1000 joints is investigated. Results show that microstructural gradients across BM–HAZ–FZ govern hardness, strain rate sensitivity, and failure modes. While strength increases with strain rate, energy absorption is controlled by ductility, with DP800–DP800 joints showing superior ...
