TL;DR: A simple and effective strategy to transform bulk natural wood directly into a high-performance structural material with a more than tenfold increase in strength, toughness and ballistic resistance and with greater dimensional stability is reported.

TL;DR: In this article, a graphite-NFC composite is constructed by dispersing graphite flakes and nanofibrillated cellulose in water at room temperature to form a stable and homogeneous solution with a high solid concentration (20 wt).

TL;DR: In this article, the mechanical response of rigid targets with various geometries to the detonation of shallow buried explosives was investigated by using high-speed digital video photography, where the motion of the targets was measured by using a high-resolution camera.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of air blast or ejected sand in imparting impulse to a plate that is located above the surface of the saturated soil that contains the explosive were examined.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of very small scale model tests were conducted in support of a full scale test program conducted by the Army Research Laboratory at Aberdeen, Maryland for the US Navy to investigate the impulse delivered to a military vehicle by a buried land mine.
