Using machine learning to predict the ballistic response of structures to projectile impact [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Ballistic loading is a primary risk in both civil and military defence applications, where successfully predicting the dynamic response of a material to impact is a fundamental component of the design of safe and fit-for-purpose protective structures ...

An experimental study on the ballistic performance of ultra-high hardness armor steel (Armox 600T) against 7.62 mm × 51 M61 AP projectile in the multi-hit condition

open access: yesEngineering Science and Technology, an International Journal, 2023
In this study, Armox 600T armor steel was ballistically tested against 7.62 mm × 51 M61 AP projectile. The experimental design was constructed on the basis of the worst-case scenario which is the highest possible impact velocity in the multi-hit ...

Nondestructive Testing of Welded Composite Metal Foams

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
X‐ray computed tomography (CT) is used to evaluate welded steel–steel composite metal foam (CMF) joints of two density classes. It reports variation in postweld spatial void distribution and correlates it to weld‐induced changes, mechanical performance, and failure within welded CMF panels.
