Effect of projectile diameter on ballistic resistance and failure mechanism of single and layered aluminum plates
K. Senthil,Mohd. Ashraf Iqbal +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of diameter of ogive nosed projectile on the ballistic resistance of 1mm thick monolithic and 0.5mm thick double-layered in contact plates of 1100-H12 aluminum alloy was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ballistic performance and energy absorption characteristics of thin aluminium plates
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of target to projectile diameter ratio (D / d ) on the ballistic performance and failure mechanism of thin aluminium plates was explored. But the D / d ratio was varied by varying the span diameter of the target keeping the projectile diameter constant, 19mm.

Oblique impact on single, layered and spaced mild steel targets by 7.62 AP projectiles
TL;DR: In this paper, the ballistic performance of monolithic and multi-layered in contact and spaced mild steel target plates has been studied at normal and oblique impact against 7.62 AP projectiles with an objective to ascertain the effect of angle of obliquity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low-velocity impact on multi-layered dual-phase steel plates
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the behavior of monolithic and multi-layered configurations of 18mm and 18mm medium-strength steel plates in the low-velocity regime (≤16m/s).

Ballistic performance of plain, reinforced and pre-stressed concrete slabs under normal impact by an ogival-nosed projectile
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of plain, reinforced and prestressed concrete targets of unconfined compressive strength 48 MPa was studied experimentally against long rod steel projectiles, and the initial prestressing in the concrete, stimulated the globalization effect in the deformation process and thus improved the ballistic performance.

Fracture characteristics of three metals subjected to various strains, strain rates, temperatures and pressures
TL;DR: In this paper, a cumulative-damage fracture model is introduced which expresses the strain to fracture as a function of the strain rate, temperature and pressure, and the model is evaluated by comparing computed results with cylinder impact tests and biaxial (torsion-tension) tests.

Microtubule nucleation by γ-tubulin complexes
TL;DR: The first crystallographic analysis of a non-γ-tubulin γTuRC component has resulted in a new appreciation of the relationships among all γ TuRC proteins, leading to a refined model of their organization and function.

Impact loading of plates — An experimental investigation
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of projectiles at sub-ordnance velocities against mild steel, stainless steel and aluminium plates, has been studied in a series of experiments and it was shown that the projectile mass, nose shape and hardness have an important effect on penetration as does the target rigidity and support condition.

Experimental and numerical studies on the behavior of thin aluminum plates subjected to impact by blunt- and hemispherical-nosed projectiles
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact and residual velocities of a hemispherical projectile were measured by using an explicit finite element code (ABAQUS) and the Johnson-Cook elasto-viscoplastic model was used to carry out the analysis.
