Kinetic Compensation of Barrel Launch Under High‐Speed Solid‐Phase Particulate Impacts
International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT An accurate launch‐dynamics computational method is critical for barrel weapon service life assessment and multiphase physics field refinement. Given the lack of studies on the solid‐phase buildup behavior at the projectile base, this paper provides an improved method for calculating the launching dynamics under high pressure and high speed ...

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.Ammonium dinitramide (ADN) and 3,4‐Diaminofurazan (DAF) form a 1:1 energetic cocrystal. We report its crystal structure and spectroscopic signature and evaluate thermal stability, decomposition behavior, hygroscopicity, and combustion properties. Propellant performance calculations benchmark the material against guanylurea dinitramide (GuDN) and ...

Characterization of Ultrafast Decomposition Dynamics in Nitrate Esters
Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Ignition of energetic materials initiates chemical reactions on atomic length scales within femtoseconds, making these reactions difficult to investigate experimentally. The technique of femtosecond time‐resolved mass spectrometry (FTRMS) can capture molecular rearrangement and bond‐breaking events in isolated molecules with sub‐50 femtosecond

Physics-Embedded Recurrent Graph Neural Network for Fault Diagnosis of Complex Systems
IEEE AccessThe improvement of fault diagnosis for complex equipment is an important step towards intelligent systems. Unlike component-level fault detection, system-level fault diagnosis presents new challenges, such as the integration of multiple sensors, the ...

steel research international, EarlyView.Cold spray deposition of stainless steel (grade: SS304) is evaluated for marine applications, with emphasis on martensitic transformation during impact. Analytical modeling, simulations, and experiments reveal that helium‐assisted spraying of fine powders promotes cooling below the martensitic start temperature, enabling up to ≈40% austenite to ...
