Microspoiler Actuation for Guided Projectiles
نویسنده
چکیده
The goal of this project was to further mature microspoiler technology to the extent that it could be incorporated into current and future smart weapons designs. Several program objectives, including mechanical design and fabrication, trade study analysis, and limited flight experiments were defined as a collaborative effort between the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) and the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) for DARPA.

Analytical and numerical modeling of erosive projectiles into steel fiber reinforced concrete target
In this paper, modeling of high speed projectiles with different nose shapes, penetrating into steel fiber reinforced concrete is investigated. This is a novel study because it considers the length to diameter ratio of steel fiber as well as projectile length to diameter ratio and volume fraction of fiber used in concrete matrix on the impact resistance of steel fiber reinforced concrete fibers...
متن کاملPlastic Wave Propagation Model for Perforation of Metallic Plates by Blunt Projectiles
In this paper, a six-stage interactive model is presented for the perforation of metallic plates using blunt deformable projectiles when plastic wave propagation in both target and projectile is considered. In this analytical model, it is assumed that the projectile and target materials are rigid – plastic linear work hardened. The penetration of the projectile into the target is divided into s...

متن کاملA Mri Compatible Concentric Tube Continuum Robot with Pneumatic Actuation
The aim of this study is to develop a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compatible robot to enable image guided interventions to enhance accuracy and reduce invasiveness. MRI provides exquisite soft tissue images, and fluid power is an enabler of its use in surgery. Its advantages are not completely explored yet because traditional electromagnetic actuators fail or cause artifacts in intense mag...
