TL;DR: In this paper, the equations of motion for a dual-spin projectile in atmospheric flight were developed and subsequently utilized to solve for angle of attack and swerving dynamics, where a combination hydrodynamic and roller bearing couples forward and aft body roll motions.
Abstract: : The equations of motion for a dual-spin projectile in atmospheric flight are developed and subsequently utilized to solve for angle of attack and swerving dynamics. A combination hydrodynamic and roller bearing couples forward and aft body roll motions. Using a modified projectile linear theory developed for this configuration, it is shown that the dynamic stability factor, S(g), and the gyroscopic stability factor, S(g) are altered compared to a similar rigid projectile, due to new epicyclic fast and slow arm equations. Swerving dynamics including aerodynamic jump are studied using the linear theory.

TL;DR: In this article, the ballistic resistance of double-layered steel shields against projectile impact at the sub-ordnance velocity is evaluated using finite element simulations, where four types of projectiles of different weight and nose shapes are considered, while armor shields consist of two layers of different materials.
