1. Interface Defeat and Penetration: Two Modes of Interaction between Metallic Projectiles and Ceramic Targets
Abstract : Ceramics constitute an important group of low-density armour materials. Their high intrinsic strength makes it possible to design ceramic armour systems capable of defeating projectiles directly on the ceramic surface. READ MORE

2. Terrestrial consequences of hypervelocity impact – shock metamorphism, shock barometry, and newly discovered impact structures
Abstract : Impact cratering was once considered a rare geological process of no, or little, importance to the evolution of the Solar System and planet Earth. After more than 50 years of space exploration and the discovery of numerous (~190 as of October 2016) impact structures on Earth, this view has changed, and it is now clear that impact craters are in fact one of the most common morphological features on solid bodies in the Solar System.

3. Impact of Metallic Projectiles on a Ceramic Target Surface : Transition Between Interface Defeat and Penetration
Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to gain understanding of the load on flat target surfaces produced by projectile impact. Models are proposed from which upper and lower bounds can be derived for the transition be-tween interface defeat and normal penetration. READ MORE

4. Leave no trace: A non-destructive correlative approach providing new insights into impactites and meteorites
Abstract : Impact cratering is today recognized as a fundamental geological process on all rocky bodies in the solar system. On Earth, however, processes such as plate tectonics and erosion have eradicated most craters from the geological record, or they may be buried under sediments, oceans, and vegetation. READ MORE

5. MODELLING AND SIMULATION OF ELASTIC & PLASTIC BEHAVIOUR OF PROPAGATING IMPACT WAVE : Impact- echo and Explosive welding process development
Abstract : A force that is applied dynamically in a short period of time is called an impact force (shock wave). Due to the concentrated application of force on a small area in a fraction of a second, unique applications have emerged that other types of loadings are not capable of performing. READ MORE
