Polymer Composites, EarlyView.Ballistic tests using a novel composite configuraion. ABSTRACT Aramid fibers are extensively utilized in personal protective equipment owing to their lightweight and superior properties. This study proposes a novel composite structure comprising aramid fabric, EVA hotmelt films, and graphene‐clay nanostructured HDPE laminate, totalizing 20 repeated ...

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 ...

Effect of Different Surface Treatments on Resistance to Abrasive Wear of AISI 4140 Steel
steel research international, EarlyView.This study investigates how different surface treatments affect resistance to abrasive wear of AISI 4140 Steel. The wear rate was significantly higher in samples subjected to conventional treatments than in samples coated using the HVOF process, demonstrating the superior efficiency of coatings applied by thermal spraying in mitigating abrasive wear ...

Ballistic and physical properties of highly fractured alumina [PDF]
, 2010 It is known that ceramic materials in armour are often shattered by a penetrating projectile and the resistance to penetration is therefore dependent upon the properties of this failed material.

The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract This article argues that the current debate over defence spending in the United Kingdom is fundamentally flawed. Too much emphasis is being placed on preparing for a form of warfare with Russia that is unlikely to occur. As this article points out, the Russians actually want to avoid a traditional battlefield confrontation with NATO.
