  2. 1. Interaction of Cylindrical Penetrators with Ceramic and Electromagnetic Armour

    Author : Lars Westerling; Kristofer Gamstedt; Bengt Lundberg; Nils G. Ohlson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot hållfasthetslära; Engineering Science with specialization in Solid Mechanics;

    Abstract : Armoured vehicles have traditionally used steel armour as protection against penetrators such as projectiles and shaped charge jets. The latter produce a thin stretching metal jet, usually of copper, with a tip velocity of about 7-8 km/s. READ MORE

  4. 2. Interaction between High-velocity Penetrators and Moving Armour Components

    Author : Ewa Lidén; Bengt Lundberg; Hevré Couque; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot hållfasthetslära; Engineering Science with specialization in Solid Mechanics;

    Abstract : This work was aimed at understanding mechanisms of importance for the design of weight-efficient armour against long-rod projectiles (LRP) and shaped charge (SC) warheads. The focus was on how to achieve effective mechanical disturbances on the threat before it hits the target. READ MORE

  6. 4. Development of Nanostructured Tungsten Based Composites for Energy Applications

    Author : Mazher Ahmed Yar; Mamoun Muhammed; Per-Olov Käll; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Tungsten; Nano-tungsten; ODS tungsten; W-La2O3; W-Y2O3; SPS; Plasma-facing materials; Armour material; fusion material;

    Abstract : Tungsten (W) based materials can be used in fusion reactors due to several advantages. Different fabrication routes can be applied to develop tungsten materials with intended microstructure and properties for specific application including nanostructured grades. READ MORE

  7. 5. On failure modelling in finite element analysis : material imperfections and element erosion

    Author : Mattias Unosson; Larsgunnar Nilsson; Kjell Simonsson; Lars Olovsson; Anders Eriksson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; finite element method; element erosion; material failure; material imperfections; crack-tip; Solid mechanics; Fastkroppsmekanik;

    Abstract : This dissertation concerns failure modelling with material imperfections and element erosion in finite element analyses. The aim has been to improve the element erosion technique, which is simple to use and implement and also computationally inexpensive. READ MORE
