But as to the forward of curl interface underground or “v” figure complex model, it is difficult to realize. So it is important to forward the complex geoelectricity model. This paper takes two Maxwell’s vorticity equations as departure point, makes use of the principles of Yee’s space grid model theory and the basic principle finite difference time domain method, and deduces a GPR forward system of equation of two dimensional spaces. The Mur super absorbed boundary condition is adopted to solve the super strong reflection on the interceptive boundary when there is the forward simulation. And a self-made program is used to process forward simulation to two typical geoelectricity model.展开更多

Different from element-based numerical methods, this approach makes nodes free from the elemental restraint and avoids the explicit mesh discretization. First, we derived the boundary value problem for the 2D GPR simulation problems. Second, a penalty function approach and a boundary condition truncated method were used to enforce the essential and the absorbing boundary conditions, respectively. A three-layered GPR model was used to verify our element-free approach. The numerical solutions show that our solutions have an excellent agreement with solutions of a finite element method(FEM). Then, we used the EFGM to simulate one more complex model to show its capability and limitations. Simulation results show that one obvious advantage of EFGM is the absence of element mesh, which makes the method very flexible. Due to the use of MLS fitting, a key feature of EFM, is that both the dependent variable and its gradient are continuous and have high precision.展开更多

It is with great potential to apply HEAs under extreme conditions such as in the penetration process. In this paper, experiments of WFeNiMo HEA and tungsten heavy alloy (WHA) projectiles penetrating medium-carbon steel were conducted by using the ballistic gun and two-stage light-gas gun that can accelerate projectiles to impact velocities ranging from 1162 m/s to 2130 m/s. Depth of penetration (DOP) at elevated impact velocities of HEA and WHA projectiles were obtained firstly. Combined with the macroscopic and microscopic analysis of the residual projectiles, the transition of the penetration mode of the WFeNiMo HEA projectile was identified systemically. The experimental results indicated that the penetration mode of the HEA projectile changes from self-sharpening to mushrooming with the increase of impact velocity, while for the WHA projectile, the penetration mode is always mushrooming. The microstructure of the residual HEA projectiles showed that the phases tangle with each other and the morphology of the microstructure of the phases differs in the two penetration modes. Besides, the evolution of shear bands and fractures varies in the two modes. The evolution of the microstructure of HEAs causes the sharp-pointed nose to disappear and the HEA projectile ultimately becomes blunt as the impact velocity increases.展开更多

This paper proposes an innovative surface modification method attempting to modify the EPDM insulation layer coated with reduced graphene oxide(RGO), which exhibits ability to weaken the NG absorption by EPDM insulation layer,blocking the pathway of NG migration into EPDM insulation materials. The microstructure of RGO-coated layer was analyzed and the formation mechanism was investigated. The RGO-coated layer is well bonded to the HTPB liner, and its anti-migration performance to NG at different temperatures has been evaluated. Comparing with blank samples under the same storage conditions, the RGO-coated layers can reduce the diffusion coefficient of NG by up to 87.3% and increase the diffusion activation energy of NG by14.8 kJ,mol^(-1). This research provides a new strategy to effectively inhibit NG migration in NEPE propellant/HTPB liner/EPDM insulation bonding system.展开更多

文摘Ground penetrating radar(GPR),as a fast,efficient,and non-destructive detection device,holds great potential for the detection of shallow subsurface environments,such as urban road subsurface monitoring.However,the interpretation of GPR echo images often relies on manual recognition by experienced engineers.In order to address the automatic interpretation of cavity targets in GPR echo images,a recognition-algorithm based on Gaussian mixed model-hidden Markov model(GMM-HMM)is proposed,which can recognize three dimensional(3D)underground voids automatically.First,energy detection on the echo images is performed,whereby the data is preprocessed and pre-filtered.Then,edge histogram descriptor(EHD),histogram of oriented gradient(HOG),and Log-Gabor filters are used to extract features from the images.The traditional method can only be applied to 2D images and pre-processing is required for C-scan images.Finally,the aggregated features are fed into the GMM-HMM for classification and compared with two other methods,long short-term memory(LSTM)and gate recurrent unit(GRU).By testing on a simulated dataset,an accuracy rate of 90%is obtained,demonstrating the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed method.

文摘The penetration-deflagration coupling damage performance of rod-like reactive shaped charge pene-trator(RRSCP)impacting thick steel plates is investigated by theoretical analysis and experiments.A penetration-deflagration coupling damage model is developed to predict the penetration depth and cratering diameter.Four type of aluminum-polytetrafluoroethylene-copper(Al-PTFE-Cu)reactive liners with densities of 2.3,2.7,3.5,and 4.5 g·cm^(-3) are selected to conduct the penetration experiments.The comparison results show that model predictions are in good agreement with the experimental data.By comparing the penetration depth and cratering diameter in the inert penetration mode and the penetration-deflagration coupling mode,the influence mechanism that the penetration-induced chemical response is unfavorable to penetration but has an enhanced cratering effect is revealed.From the formation characteristics,penetration effect and penetration-induced chemical reaction be-haviors,the influence of reactive liner density on the penetration-deflagration performance is further analyzed.The results show that increasing the density of reactive liner significantly increases both the kinetic energy and length of the reactive penetrator,meanwhile effectively reduces the weakened effect of penetration-induced chemical response,resulting in an enhanced penetration capability.However,due to the decreased diameter and potential energy content of reactive penetrator,the cratering capa-bility is weakened significantly.

文摘Shaped charge has been widely used for penetrating concrete.However,due to the obvious difference between the propagation of shock waves and explosion products in water and air,the theory governing the formation of shaped charge jets in water as well as the underwater penetration effect of concrete need to be studied.In this paper,we introduced a modified forming theory of an underwater hemispherical shaped charge,and investigated the behavior of jet formation and concrete penetration in both air and water experimentally and numerically.The results show that the modified jet forming theory predicts the jet velocity of the hemispherical liner with an error of less than 10%.The underwater jets exhibit at least 3%faster and 11%longer than those in air.Concrete shows different failure modes after penetration in air and water.The depth of penetration deepens at least 18.75%after underwater penetration,accompanied by deeper crater with 65%smaller radius.Moreover,cracks throughout the entire target are formed,whereas cracks exist only near the penetration hole in air.This comprehensive study provides guidance for optimizing the structure of shaped charge and improves the understanding of the permeability effect of concrete in water.
文摘In this paper,the failure caused by HRAM loads which were generated by high-speed projectile penetration,and protection technology of the fluid-filled structure were explored.A bubble was preset on the projectile trajectory in a fluid-filled structure.Based on the reflection and transmission phenomena of pressure waves at the gas-liquid interface and the compressibility characteristics of gases,a numerical analysis was conducted on the influence of preset bubble on projectile penetration and structural failure characteristics.The results indicate that the secondary water-entry impact phenomenon occurs when a preset bubble exists on the projectile trajectory,leading to the secondary water entry impact loads.The rarefaction waves reflected on the surface of the preset bubble cause the attenuation ratio of the initial impact pressure peak to reach 68.8%and the total specific impulse attenuation ratio to reach 48.6%.Furthermore,the larger the bubble,the faster the projectile,and the more obvious the attenuation effect.Moreover,due to the compressibility of the bubble,the global deformation attenuation ratio of the front and rear walls can reach over 80%.However,the larger the bubble size,the faster the projectile velocity,the smaller the local deformation attenuation effect of the rear wall,and the more severe the failure at the perforation of the rear wall.

文摘Numerous former military sites worldwide require environmental cleanup from buried unexploded ordnance(UxO)that pose hazards such as leaching toxic chemicals and explosion risks.However,selecting the appropriate mitigation technology relies on prior knowledge of UxO depth of burial(DoB)at specific sites.This study utilizes numerical simulations,employing large deformation explicit finite element(LDEFE)analysis and the Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian(CEL)approach,to model the penetration of ordnances into clay targets.A modified Tresca constitutive model is implemented in ABAQUS software to capture key features of clay behavior under high strain rate(HSR)loading.The role of various parameters on DoB is investigated,including undrained shear strength,stiffness,and density of the soil.The findings highlight the paramount importance of undrained shear strength in clayey soil penetrability,in addition to the role of soil stiffness,and density.The simulations were employed to calibrate model parameters for Young's empirical penetration model,as well as the Poncelet phenomenological penetration model,demonstrating the efficacy of the numerical simulations in extrapolating its findings within the relevant parameter space.In particular,the calibrated parameters of Young's and Poncelet's models can be identified as a direct function of the various discussed soil properties,which was previously unavailable.

文摘An experimental and finite element simulation investigation are conducted to study the deformation patterns of steel targets during the penetration process of tungsten alloy long rods,as well as the influence of strength of the target on the deformation patterns.The experimental results revealed slight mass loss in the first layer of the steel target during the transient entrance phase,with an extremely negligible loss in target mass during the quasi-steady penetration phase.The results of macro-analysis,micro-analysis and simulation show that the eroded target material migrated towards the periphery of the crater,causing an increase in the target's thickness,remained within the target,instead of flowing out of the crater.Therefore,the process of long rods penetrating the metal target is considered as a process of backward extrusion.By combining the backward extrusion theory with energy conservation,a penetration depth model for long rods penetrating a metal target,taking into account both the diameter of the crater and the friction coefficient between the rod and the target,has been established.Although the model is not yet perfect,it innovatively applies the principles of solid mechanics to the study of long rod penetration.Additionally,it takes into account the friction coefficient between the rod and the target during the penetration process.Therefore,this model provides a new research direction for future studies on long rod penetration.

文摘The motion characteristics of projectile during oblique penetration into concrete were studied using a three-dimensional meso-scale model.The finite element model validation and parameter chosen were conducted by comparing the experimental data,with computational efficiency enhanced through improved mesh refinement.Penetration simulations involving deformable projectiles at various incident angles analyzed the effects of aggregate volume fraction and particle size on ballistic trajectory and terminal deflection.Sensitivity analysis reveals a strong power-law relationship between aggregate content and the projectile's deflection angle.The increase in aggregate content will enhance the confinement effect,shorten the intrusion distance of the projectile,and lead to a decrease in the deflection angle of the projectile.The effect of aggregate particle size on the projectile deflection angle follows a Gaussian distribution.The maximum deflection angle occurs when the aggregate particle size is between 2.7 and 3.1 times the projectile diameter.An increase in particle size reduces the number of aggregate-mortar interfaces at the same aggregate volume fraction,leading to an enlargement of the damage zone in concrete,a decrease in the number of cracks,and an increase in crack length.These findings enhance the understanding of concrete penetration mechanisms and offers valuable insights for engineering structure protection.

文摘The study aims to explore the damage characteristics and protection technologies of liquid-filled structures under high-speed projectile impact.A series of penetration impact experiments were conducted by focusing on different air layer configurations.By using high-speed camera and dynamic measurement systems,the effects of air layers on the projectile penetration,pressure wave propagation,cavitation evolution,and structural dynamic responses were analyzed.The results showed that the rarefaction wave reflected from the air-liquid interface significantly reduced the peak and specific impulse of the initial pressure wave,thereby diminishing the impact load on the structure.Additionally,the compressibility of air layers also attenuated the cavitation extrusion load.Both front and rear plates exhibited superimposed deformation modes,i.e.,local deformation or petal fracture with global deformation.Air layers effectively mitigated global deformation.However,when the air layer was positioned on the projectile's trajectory,it split the water-entry process and velocity attenuation of the projectile into two relatively independent phases.And the secondary water entry pressure wave caused more severe local deformation and petal fractures on the rear plate.

文摘This paper proposes a modification of the Forrestal-Warren perforation model aimed at extending its applicability range to intermediately-thick high-hardness armor steel plates.When impacted by armorpiercing projectiles,these plates tend to fail through adiabatic shear plugging which significantly reduces their ballistic resistance.To address this effect,an approach for determining effective thickness was defined and incorporated into the predictive model.Ballistic impact tests were performed to assess the modification's validity,in which ARMOX 500T steel plates were subjected to perpendicular impacts from 7.62×39 mm steel-cored rounds under various velocities.Frequent target failure by soft plugging was observed,as well as the brittle shatter of the hard steel core.Key properties of the recovered plugs including their mass,length and diameter were measured and reported along with the projectiles'residual velocities.Additionally,independent data from the open literature were included in the analysis for further validation.The original Forrestal-Warren model and the novel effective thickness modification were then used to establish the relationship between impact and residual velocities,as well as to determine the ballistic limit velocity.The comparison revealed that the proposed approach significantly improves the model's accuracy,showing a strong correlation with experimental data and reducing deviations to within a few percent.This enhancement highlights the potential of the effective thickness term,which could also be applied to other predictive models to extend their applicability range.Further exploration into other armor steels and impact conditions is recommended to assess the method's versatility.
