However, the advantage seemed to disappear when ogival-nosed projectiles were used. Moreover, Teng et al. [14] evaluated the ballistic resistance of double-layered steel shields against projectile impact at the sub-ordnance velocity by using finite element simulations. It was shown that a double-...
This property gives the UHMWPE a strength-to-weight advantage over aramids in terms of lighter ballistic armour with larger energy absorption capacity [43]. However, UHMWPE have shown also some disadvantages in weak softening, low melting temperature and easy creep high loading [44]. Unlike para...
Another advantage was that unlike in experiments, in a numerical setting both the isolated and coupled effects of different sources of variability, such as yarn strength, friction, and impact location, could be studied to determine which sources were predominant [9]. Such studies then provide a ...
Moreover, when compared to natural lignocellulosic fibers, the arapaima scales present the advantage of their mineralization gradient, which significantly increase the surface hardness and can hamper the penetration by a predator [20,22,23]. All of these aspects render arapaima scales a promising ...
Review ReportsVersions Notes Abstract Maxillofacial ballistic trauma represents a devastating functional and aesthetic trauma. The extensive damage to soft and hard tissue is unpredictable, and because of the diversity and the complexity of these traumas, a systematic algorithm is essential. This study ...
Perhaps the main advantage of models such as SMSP is that many interpretative features persist when more realistic models of electronic structure are used. In particular, the analysis by molecular-orbital-based channels survives the introduction of electron–electron interaction into the theory. Thus ...
An advantage of such pictures is that they lend themselves to even simpler qualitative modelling of the effects of electron energy, relative interaction strengths, contact placement, and qualitative features of molecular electronic structures, as treated in e.g., [31,32,33,34] and as illustrated...
