A review of the ballistic performance of ceramics like alumina, silicon carbide and boron
carbide as well as toughened ceramic like zirconia toughened alumina is presented herein …

Numerous developments in additive manufacturing have endowed triply periodic minimal
surface (TPMS) structures with excellent mechanical properties, providing possibilities for …

The imbedded linear constitutive model in four-dimensional lattice spring model (4D-LSM) is
not sufficient or accurate enough to solve the dynamic problems with high-speed impacts. In …

Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) is widely used to achieve an atomic surface globally,
yet its cross-scale polishing mechanisms are elusive. Moreover, traditional CMP normally …

Experimental tests, analytical modeling, empirical or semi-empirical fit, and numerical
simulation, are different concepts and ways to study the complex mechanism of High …

The paper presents a procedure for determining Johnson-Holmquist II (JH-2) model
parameters for dolomite rock. The constants were determined based on experiments …

This paper presents a comparison of three numerical approaches for modeling brittle
materials in both quasi-static and dynamic loading conditions. These methods include the …

The 'pseudoplastic'deformation and failure of the carbon/carbon composites (C/Cs) are
strain-rate-sensitive while the mechanism has not yet been properly elaborated. To delve …

Predictive models are an important tool in the design and optimization of ballistic shields.
Indeed, several authors in the literature have developed numerical models for simulating …

Polyurea is widely used as a protective material for its excellent protective performance
during extreme loading. However, the ballistic behavior of polyurea-reinforced …
