Book Description
Computational simulation of shock tubes with baffles on their driver sections were performed using the (BRL) Quasi-One-Dimensional (Q1D) computer code. The credibility of the code was established through comparisons with experimental data. A numerical parametric study was performed in which baffle positions and area openings in a computational model of a candidate Large Blast/Thermal Simulator (LB/TS) were manipulated until blast wave forms at weapon yields of interest were obtained. Keywords: Blast wave shaping; Blast simulators; Baffles.

Opportunities in Protection Materials Science and Technology for Future Army Applications
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309212855
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
Armor plays a significant role in the protection of warriors. During the course of history, the introduction of new materials and improvements in the materials already used to construct armor has led to better protection and a reduction in the weight of the armor. But even with such advances in materials, the weight of the armor required to manage threats of ever-increasing destructive capability presents a huge challenge. Opportunities in Protection Materials Science and Technology for Future Army Applications explores the current theoretical and experimental understanding of the key issues surrounding protection materials, identifies the major challenges and technical gaps for developing the future generation of lightweight protection materials, and recommends a path forward for their development. It examines multiscale shockwave energy transfer mechanisms and experimental approaches for their characterization over short timescales, as well as multiscale modeling techniques to predict mechanisms for dissipating energy. The report also considers exemplary threats and design philosophy for the three key applications of armor systems: (1) personnel protection, including body armor and helmets, (2) vehicle armor, and (3) transparent armor. Opportunities in Protection Materials Science and Technology for Future Army Applications recommends that the Department of Defense (DoD) establish a defense initiative for protection materials by design (PMD), with associated funding lines for basic and applied research. The PMD initiative should include a combination of computational, experimental, and materials testing, characterization, and processing research conducted by government, industry, and academia.

Schlieren and Shadowgraph Techniques
Author: G.S. Settles
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642566405
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
Schlieren and shadowgraph techniques are basic and valuable tools in various scientific and engineering disciplines. They allow us to see the invisible: the optical inhomogeneities in transparent media like air, water, and glass that otherwise cause only ghostly distortions of our normal vision. These techniques are discussed briefly in many books and papers, but there is no up-to-date complete treatment of the subject before now. The book is intended as a practical guide for those who want to use these methods, as well as a resource for a broad range of disciplines where scientific visualization is important. The colorful 400-year history of these methods is covered in an extensive introductory chapter accessible to all readers.
