Hitting a bullet with a bullet: an analysis of colliding bullets using experimental data and explicit simulation methods [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science
A method to simultaneously fire and achieve a nose-to-nose collision of two bullets was created and compared to simulated results. This research focused on symmetric Taylor impact test techniques applied to 45-caliber Hornady 45177 full metal jacket (FMJ)

Initial temperature influence on the powder speed combustion in the high pressure range

Vojnotehnički Glasnik, 1997
The initial temperature influence on the ballistics characteristics of powder is considered as well as the parameters of gas dynamics calculations. Analytical methods for thermal chemical and interior ballistics calculations are used.

Dynamic Performance Enhancement of a High‐Agility Hypersonic Mechanical System via a Learning‐Augmented Robust Control Architecture

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The design of control systems for high‐agility mechanical systems operating in extreme environments is a significant challenge in nonlinear dynamics. This paper addresses the complex dynamic control problem of a hypersonic interceptor, modeled as a multi‐input multi‐output (MIMO) mechanical system characterized by strong aerodynamic cross ...

Asymmetric transferability of trait–environment relationships between native and exotic plant species in Singaporean forests differing in land‐use history

Oikos, EarlyView.
Functional traits allow ecologists to synthesise general rules of community assembly. In joint species distribution modelling, traits are increasingly used to explain species–environment relationships, with the intention of being able to generalise predictions to other species in other systems.

Multiscale Modeling of Hole Damage Evolution During Dynamic Installation of Interference Bushings in CFRP

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Multiscale modeling for dynamic installatioin. ABSTRACT The dynamic installation of metal interference bushings has demonstrated significant potential for improving the mechanical performance of carbon fiber‐reinforced polymer (CFRP) joints. However, the underlying mechanisms governing the remaining life enhancement remain insufficiently understood ...

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

Propellants, 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 ...

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.
