Sentence examples for rigid projectile from inspiring English sources

Finally, the impact-induced damage inflicted by a rigid projectile particle on the jointed rock mass samples was determined through the use of the numerical model.

One, two and three layers of GS have been impacted with a fullerene rigid projectile in the impact velocity range: 3.5 7.5 km/s.

In this study the CEL method in the commercially-available code Abaqus was used to model a near rigid projectile perforating finite thickness concrete slabs.

This paper aims at reviewing the major contributions to model the deep penetration of a rigid projectile that perpendicularly hits a concrete target with emphasis on concrete target resistance.

In this work, we investigated the perforation mechanics of a single layer, woven composite target transversely impacted below and above the ballistic limit by a rigid projectile sized on the order of a tow width.

Rigid projectile penetration depth was quantitatively evaluated by the existing models, while the erosive projectile penetration depth was predicted by the combination of cavity expansion theory and Alekseevskii Tate equation.

Lastly, an engineering model is also established to predict the DOP of STCC targets normally penetrated by rigid projectiles.

This paper investigates the empirical formulae used in engineering practice to predict the critical perforation energy of metallic plates struck by rigid projectiles in the sub-ordnance regime.

The process of ductile plate perforation by sharp-nosed rigid projectiles is further examined in this work through 2D numerical simulations.

The possible response phases of confined concrete targets normally penetrated by rigid projectiles include "elastic-cracked-comminuted", "cracked-comminuted" and "full-comminuted", depending on the relationship among cavity-expansion velocity, radial confining stiffness and radius ratio of cavity to target.

A finite dynamic spherical cavity-expansion approximation model with radially elastic confinement is proposed to analyze the confinement on concrete targets and predict the depth of penetration (DOP), taking steel-tube-confined concrete (STCC) targets normally penetrated by rigid projectiles as an example.
