Stiffness Model

A leaf-type isosceles-trapezoidal flexural pivot can be of great practical use for designing compliant mechanisms. The analysis of load-deflection behavior for such a pivot is essential to the study of the mechanisms that are comprised of them. Based on the analysis of a single special loaded leaf segment, a pseudo-rigid-body four-bar model is proposed. The four-bar model is further simplified to a pin-joint model for some simple applications. The accuracy of both models is demonstrated by comparing results to those of nonlinear finite element analysis. At last, the two models are applied to analyze the cartwheel hinge as an example.

Aluminum Target

Studying the armor-piercing effect of armor-piercing bomb that attacks aluminum target is essential, because the target can be considered the simulation of the actual fight equipment. Based on the hypothesis about building the fraction field, the armor-piercing effect of armor-piercing bomb is analyzed, and the velocity and the intruding depth parameter model of armor-piercing effect are established. Taking a certain armor-piercing bomb as example, the intruding processes of armor-piercing effect are simulated by using the nonlinear finite element analysis program LS-DYNA, while aluminum target simulates the wall of combat equipment in two different conditions. At last, the finite element simulated results are given and analyzed that agree with the experiments.
