Wounding patterns and human performance in knife attacks: optimising the protection provided by knife-resistant body armour [PDF]
, 2003 Stab attacks generate high loads,1 and to defeat them, armour needs to be of a certain thickness and stiffness.2,3 Slash attacks produce much lower loads and armour designed to defeat them can be far lighter and more flexible.Methods and subjects: Phase

Teach phenomenology the bomb: Starship Troopers, the technologized body, and humanitarian warfare [PDF]
, 2005 Paul Verhoeven's SF films are often concerned with how the future body will be reshaped as a technological device. Starship Troopers strangely departs from Verhoeven's own work, other SF films, and current directions in cultural theory by seeing the ...

Stability of Few-Charge Systems in Quantum Mechanics [PDF]
, 2004 We consider non-relativistic systems in quantum mechanics interacting through the Coulomb potential, and discuss the existence of bound states which are stable against spontaneous dissociation into smaller atoms or ions.

Effect of welding consumables on shielded metal arc welded ultra high hard armour steel joints
Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Materials, 2022 Materials with high hardness are usually preferred in armour applications and are difficult to weld due to high Carbon Equivalent (C.E). In this investigation, an attempt was made to weld Ultra-high Hard Armour (UHA) steel (having C.E of 0.91) by ...
