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 ...

Strategy for One‐Step Optimization of Metal Oxide Passivating Contact Materials for Si Heterojunction Solar Cells through Growth Angle Variation

Small, EarlyView.
A one‐step oblique angle reactive sputtering approach enables simultaneous tuning of bulk and interfacial stoichiometry in a metal oxide/ silicon heterojunction. In case of vanadium oxides, growth angle variation controls the formation of stoichiometric SiO2, ternary SiOx(V) interlayer, and phase purity of vanadium oxide, considerably simplifying the ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Reflexive Turn in Systems Engineering: A Disciplinary Response to Complexity

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Future of Systems Engineering (FuSE) programme has called for the discipline to evolve as a transdiscipline capable of engaging complex eco‐socio‐technical challenges. Yet the pace of that evolution has been slower than the arguments for it would predict. This article examines why.

What Is the Return on Investment of Digital Engineering for Complex Systems Development Schedules? Findings From a Mixed‐Methods Case Study on the Post‐Production Design Change Processes of Navy Assets

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Complex engineered systems routinely face schedule and cost overruns, along with poor post‐deployment performance. Both INCOSE and the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) have championed Digital Engineering (DE) as a potential remedy, yet most of DE's purported benefits remain anecdotal, and its return on investment (ROI) remains poorly ...
