TL;DR: Experimental and theoretical cross sections for electron capture by neutral and charged particles in collisions with He atoms are tabulated and displayed in graphical form as a function of the energy of the incident projectile and according to the projectile charge state and, to the extent possible, the final electronic state.

TL;DR: In this article, the perforation of honeycomb panels under impact of cylindrical projectiles is studied and the ballistic limit velocity is determined by the energy method, and the results show that the increase of panel thickness, compression and shear yield strengths and cell wall thickness increase the ballistic limits velocity, while an increase in the size of the cell and projectile mass decrease it.
Abstract: In this paper the perforation of honeycomb panels under impact of cylindrical projectiles is studied and the ballistic limit velocity is determined by the energy method. The results show that the increase of panel thickness, compression and shear yield strengths and cell wall thickness increase the ballistic limit velocity, while an increase in the size of the cell and projectile mass decrease it. These results are in good agreement with available experimental data.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present results of an experimental test and numerical investigation of reinforced concrete blocks' penetration resistance against a steel blunt-nose projectile with a diameter of 23mm and a mass of 175g with striking velocity about 980m/s hitting concrete blocks reinforced by different number of layers of woven wire steel mesh (Ferrocement).

TL;DR: In this article, the position of a supersonic velocity is sensed by two triangular arrays of transducers 10,11 which are located below and close to the plane of a target area 14 through which the projectile passes.
Abstract: The position of a projectile travelling at a supersonic velocity is sensed by two triangular arrays of transducers 10,11 which are located below and close to the plane of a target area 14 through which the projectile passes. Signals from the transducers are processed to obtain data indicative of the direction of the trajectory from each array. This data can be processed to obtain the position of the trajectory in a cartesian coordinate system.

TL;DR: In this article, a spin-stabilized projectile containing a payload is presented, which includes a projectile body with a payload chamber that may be laterally defined by a projectile casing, on top by an axial fixing device for a payload disposed in the payload chamber, and on the bottom by a dividing wall.
Abstract: A spin-stabilized projectile containing a payload is presented. The projectile includes a projectile body with a payload chamber that may be laterally defined by a projectile casing, on top by an axial fixing device for a payload disposed in the payload chamber, and on the bottom, by a dividing wall. The projectile casing may include axial grooves on the inside, which on the contribute to the fixing of the payload and include intended break zones for freeing the payload. Below the dividing wall, an opening charge may be disposed, which includes complete radial contact and is axially spaced apart from the dividing wall by a damping device. The detonation of opening charge causes the projectile casing to immediately split open at the intended break zones to release, by centrifugal force, the payload from the payload chamber. The damping device prevents the payload from being damaged in the region of the dividing wall and prevents the release of the payload from being interrupted.
