Tires are a critical component of military wheeled vehicles and exposed to the threat fragment caused by explosion warhead on battlefield. To study ballistic impact response vehicle tires under fragment, experiments numerical simulations spherical fragments impacting were carried out. The damage mode was analyzed. effects obliquity, tire thickness, mass dynamic tires, as well limit velocity, re...

We consider one-dimensional Brownian motion conditioned (in a suitable sense) to have a local time at every point and at every moment bounded by some fixed constant. Our main result shows that a phenomenon of entropic repulsion occurs: that is, this process is ballistic and has an asymptotic velocity approximately 4.58.. . as high as required by the conditioning (the exact value of this constan...

The dynamic responses of honeycomb sandwich panels (HSPs) subjected to in-plane projectile impact were studied by means of explicit nonlinear finite element simulations using LS-DYNA. The HSPs consisted of two identical aluminum alloy face-sheets and an aluminum honeycomb core featuring three types of unit cell configurations (regular, rectangular-shaped, and reentrant hexagons). The ballistic ...

This work describes the high-velocity impact behavior of doubly curved sandwich panels. The panels are manufactured using carbon/fiber epoxy composite face sheets, polyurethane foam core and 3D-printed PLA plastic cellular auxetic (re-entrant) honeycombs. High-velocity tests carried out by a single-stage air gas gun test machine. A spherical steel projectile with radius 5 mm is impacted to cent...

The scaling of device technologies poses new challenges, not only in circuit design, but also in device modeling, especially because of the short-channel effects and the emergence of novel phenomena like ballistic transport. Nonetheless, it enables the design of ultra low-power analog and Radio Frequency (RF) circuits by allowing to push the operating points into moderate and eventually weak in...

Carbon nanotube (CNT) based transistors have been studied in recent years as potential alternatives to CMOS devices because of their capability of near ballistic transport. In this work the non-equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) formalism is used to perform a comprehensive study of CNT based transistors. The effect of inelastic phonon scattering on the gate-delay time of CNT based transistors ...

aerodynamic simulation of apds projectile with and without sabot has been conducted here. due to less weight of apds projectile in comparison with the projectile, with the same caliber, apds projectile has higher muzzle velocity, longer range, high penetration capability, and higher impact velocity. simulation of flow around the sabot walls has been carried out in two opening degrees of zero an...

We study the dynamics of Brownian particles in a heterogeneous one-dimensional medium with a spatially dependent diffusion coefficient of the form D(x)∼|x|^{c}, at constant temperature. The particle's probability distribution function (PDF) is calculated both analytically, by solving Fick's diffusion equation, and from numerical simulations of the underdamped Langevin equation. At long times, t...
