TL;DR: It is shown that the peak beam intensity can be delivered to any desired location along the trajectory as well as repositioned to a given target after displacement due to propagation through disordered or turbulent media.
Abstract: We demonstrate the projectile motion of two-dimensional truncated Airy beams in a general ballistic trajectory with controllable range and height. We show that the peak beam intensity can be delivered to any desired location along the trajectory as well as repositioned to a given target after displacement due to propagation through disordered or turbulent media.

TL;DR: Novel algorithms for moving target imaging and trajectory computation using a two-receiver radar are presented and the angular trajectory equation is solved using a linear least squares method combined with a unique phase-unwrapping technique.
Abstract: Novel algorithms for moving target imaging and trajectory computation using a two-receiver radar are presented. The range-bin alignment is implemented with an adaptive method using the envelope correlation feature of different returns and the angular trajectory equation is solved using a linear least squares method combined with a unique phase-unwrapping technique. The angular positions of the synthetic array elements are determined from the trajectory computation. Three target models moving along a perturbed straight line are used to verify the proposed algorithms. >

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 paper, the impact resistance of ultra-high performance cement based composites (UHPCC) with the additions of steel fibers and basalt coarse aggregates was investigated experimentally by conducting the high-speed projectile penetration tests with the broad striking velocities from 510 to 1320m/s.

TL;DR: In this paper, a model is developed to investigate the dynamic response of an electromagnetic railgun, induced by a moving magnetic pressure during launch of projectiles, and a study is performed to show the effect of these parameters on the critical velocity of the barrel.
Abstract: A model is developed to investigate the dynamic response of an electromagnetic railgun, induced by a moving magnetic pressure during launch of projectiles. As the projectile velocity approaches a critical value, resonance can occur and cause high amplitude stress and strain in the rail at the instant and location of the projectile's passage. In this study, governing equations of a railgun under dynamic loading conditions are derived that illustrate a lower-bound critical velocity in terms of material properties, geometry, and barrel cross section; this represents the worst case or a lower bound solution for the structure under a dynamic loading condition. A study is then performed to show the effect of these parameters on the critical velocity of the barrel. Accordingly, the model that accounts for projectile velocity and gun construction can be used to guide and improve barrel design.
