This book was released on 2011-08-27 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This program was part of the DARPA program on Synthetic Multi-Functional Materials focused on structural plus ballistic and blast protection. During the first period of this program we have been focusing on developing both intrinsic and embedded functionality into a class of metal-intermetallic laminate (MIL) composites based on the Ti-Al system. These layered composites were initially developed as part of an Army MURI program at the University of CA, San Diego as a lightweight armor material. These MIL composites offer a unique combination of excellent specific mechanical properties such as high strength, high hardness, and high fracture toughness, with the ability to be formed into complex shaped penetration resistance structural materials. The addition of sensing, control, enhanced vibration damping, self healing and possibly power generation could make these materials a valuable part of future defense systems.

Book excerpt: The objective of the research was to investigate the Air Force's tactical shelter designs and determine the extent to which blast and penetration resistance could be incorporated into the design. This was to be done within existing weight, cost and other constraints specified in the relevant Military Specifications. The standard 8x8x13 ft rectangular parallel piped, although the work here is applicable to the 8x8x20 ft shelter. This shelter must be capable of efficient transport by plane, ship, helicopter, rail, or truck without damage to the structure. An objective of this study was to design a material for the shelter that would be capable of withstanding small arms fire. It was determined that protection could not be guaranteed against 7.62 mm ball rounds with the weight constraints imposed. To accomplish this one would need a structure equivalent to an armored personnel carrier. It should be pointed out that protection against 7.62 mm ball can be provided using kevlar composites, but the weight of the shelter must be substantially, but not excessively, increased. Keywords: Blast resistant shelters.

Download or read book Development of an Experiment to Evaluate the Blast Mitigation Performance of Different Materials written by Matthew Vernon Grimm and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exposure to the blast waves generated by an IED explosion may lead to or contribute to a condition called blast-induced traumatic brain injury (bTBI) which affects a person's cognitive abilities and mental health. Injuries resulting from gross mechanical insult to the head are understood reasonably well because there is usually visible external signs of trauma and there is a good amount of data available for these types of injuries. These injuries usually happen when the brain is penetrated or when head accelerations are so extreme that brain injury is easily detectable. Less understood are the mechanisms behind bTBI when external signs of trauma are not present and initially the person retains most of their cognitive abilities and shows no signs of mental health issues. Most helmets and personnel protective equipment (PPE) are primarily designed to resist penetration and offer some protection against impact. However, improvements to better mitigate the effects of an explosive blast are desirable and studies are needed to specifically measure and evaluate the blast performance of PPE systems. An experiment was developed that uses a compressed gas driven open-end shock tube to impinge a square target plate with a shock wave similar to one resulting when detonating an explosive charge. Since this experiment is intended to evaluate the ability of materials to protect the head against bTBI and facilitate the design of blast resistant helmets, the target plate has dimensions representative of the frontal area and approximate skull thickness of the human head. The target plate was clamped in a rigid test fixture and several blast experiments were conducted with test panels of different material composition placed in front of the instrumented target plate. Several performance metrics were established based on the literature and were used to evaluate the mitigation effectiveness of the materials. Since numerical simulations can be used to study multiple variables at multiple locations and gain further insight during a blast event, this thesis also includes some preliminary numerical modeling and simulation of the experimental setup using the commercial finite element analysis software ABAQUS®. It was found that the vinyl-nitrile foam reduced the positive phase specific impulse measured behind the target plate the most (33%), but did not significantly reduce the maximum velocity or deflection of the target plate. The high density polyurethane foam and the low density polyurethane foam were able to noticeably reduce the maximum transmitted overpressures, transmitted positive phase specific impulses, and maximum velocities of the target plate and had the highest average percent reductions in the performance metrics out of all the materials tested (29% and 25%). Although it was difficult to detect differences in the deflection of the target plate under the current blast conditions, the experimental setup was able to distinguish differences in all the other performance metrics. The initial numerical modeling that was conducted showed that the Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) solver in ABAQUS® is capable of simulating the compressed gas blast generator and subsequent shock wave loading on the target plate with a reasonable level of accuracy. Although the simulation under predicted the positive phase specific impulses on the target plate by about 20% to 40%, the simulations were able to predict the peak overpressure within about 2% to 13% for all the sensors.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes the concept of a multi-layer pavement system to fulfill the blast resistance requirement for pavement design. It also presents a damage pattern chart for multi-layer pavement design and rapid repair after blast load. Such a multi-layer system consists of three layers including asphalt concrete (AC) reinforced with Geogrid (GST) at the top, a high-strength concrete (HSC) layer in the middle, and engineered cementitious composites (ECC) at the bottom. A series of large-scale laboratory impact tests were carried out to prove the usefulness of this concept and show its advantages over other conventional pavement system. Furthermore, field blast tests were conducted to show the actual behavior of this multi-layer pavement system subjected to blast load under real-world conditions.
