Armaments are characterized by groups of technical and operational characteristics, each of which is divided into separate indicators. These include effectiveness, ranges of use; combat capability, reliability, operational safety. Under the effectiveness of the missile’s warhead it shall be understood the amount of damage that can cause an explosion in combat environment. The aim of the work is to evaluate the effectiveness of the blast-fragmentation warhead by modeling and analyzing the damaging of injurious effects. Primary blast-fragmentation warhead effects are a shock wave, which is characterized by a specific air pressure on its front and a specific impulse, as well as fragments that move at high speed. Determining the effectiveness of target neutralization by the fragmentation effect of the warhead is described by a set of positions of the j units, each of which is characterized by the fractional volume, the angle of inclination, the type of losses. Due to the independent impact on the target of several effects, their whole impact can be estimated by the total probability of individual injurious effects. The effectiveness of warhead is assessed by the probability of hitting the target. It is most rational to achieve the goal by reducing the distance to the explosion while increasing accuracy. This is a global development trend. Other ways are either to increase its explosive power or structurally - the number of fragments. It is necessary to indicate experimental data on the number of holes per unit area for a given distance and characteristics of the warhead of the missile. Assessing the probability of the debris impact requires clarification of the characteristics of the warhead, the characteristics of the vulnerable spots of the target and the angle of the missile approach. It is advisable to make the trajectory of the missile approach guided, taking into account the modularity of the configuration. This reduces ammunition consumption and increases the efficiency of the warhead.

AbstractElectrically vaporizing foil actuators are employed as an innovative high speed sheet metal forming technology, which has the potential to lower tool costs. To reduce experimental try-outs, a predictive physics-based process design procedure is developed for the first time. It consists of a mathematical optimization utilizing numerical forming simulations followed by analytical computations for the forming-impulse generation through the rapid Joule heating of the foils. The proposed method is demonstrated for an exemplary steel sheet part. The resulting process design provides a part-specific impulse distribution, corresponding parallel actuator geometries, and the pulse generator’s charging energy, so that all process parameters are available before the first experiment. The experimental validation is then performed for the example part. Formed parts indicate that the introduced method yields a good starting point for actual testing, as it only requires adjustments in the form of a minor charging energy augmentation. This was expectable due to the conservative nature of the underlying modeling. The part geometry obtained with the most suitable charging energy is finally compared to the target geometry.

This paper describes a novel method for the experimental validation of numerically optimised turbomachinery components. In the field of additive manufacturing, numerical models still need to be improved, especially with the experimental data. The paper presents the operational characteristics of a compressor wheel, measured during experimental research. The validation process included conducting a computational flow analysis and experimental tests of two compressor wheels: The aluminium wheel and the 3D printed wheel (made of a polymer material). The chosen manufacturing technology and the results obtained made it possible to determine the speed range in which the operation of the tested machine is stable. In addition, dynamic destructive tests were performed on the polymer disc and their results were compared with the results of the strength analysis. The tests were carried out at high rotational speeds (up to 120,000 rpm). The results of the research described above have proven the utility of this technology in the research and development of high-speed turbomachines operating at speeds up to 90,000 rpm. The research results obtained show that the technology used is suitable for multi-variant optimization of the tested machine part. This work has also contributed to the further development of numerical models.

AbstractA current development trend in wind energy is characterized by the installation of wind turbines (WT) with increasing rated power output. Higher towers and larger rotor diameters increase rated power leading to an intensification of the load situation on the drive train and the main gearbox. However, current main gearbox condition monitoring systems (CMS) do not record the 6‑degree of freedom (6-DOF) input loads to the transmission as it is too expensive. Therefore, this investigation aims to present an approach to develop and validate a low-cost virtual sensor for measuring the input loads of a WT main gearbox. A prototype of the virtual sensor system was developed in a virtual environment using a multi-body simulation (MBS) model of a WT drivetrain and artificial neural network (ANN) models. Simulated wind fields according to IEC 61400‑1 covering a variety of wind speeds were generated and applied to a MBS model of a Vestas V52 wind turbine. The turbine contains a high-speed drivetrain with 4‑points bearing suspension, a common drivetrain configuration. The simulation was used to generate time-series data of the target and input parameters for the virtual sensor algorithm, an ANN model. After the ANN was trained using the time-series data collected from the MBS, the developed virtual sensor algorithm was tested by comparing the estimated 6‑DOF transmission input loads from the ANN to the simulated 6‑DOF transmission input loads from the MBS. The results show high potential for virtual sensing 6‑DOF wind turbine transmission input loads using the presented method.

This paper combines with the analysis of the measured data of groundwater of large water inflow section, which appeared in the construction of high-speed Jianfeng mountain super long tunnel in Fuling Fengdu, Chongqing city, and detailed information of hydrological survey results. This paper has re-evaluated the engineering geology and hydro-geological of large gushing sections to clear the reason of water inflow, the development trend characteristics of groundwater and stability of surrounding rock. It is shown in this paper that the measures such as strengthening the support parameters, optimizing the waterproof and drainaging design schemes, and other measures can be adopted to ensure the safety of tunnel construction and effectively realize the concept of dynamic construction.

High velocity and stability are the development trend and inevitable requirement, but the clearance would make the stability of mechanical system deceased, especially in high speed. To the folder mechanism with clearances in high velocity, combined with the definition of sensitivity and the kinematics analysis, the kinematics sensitivity analysis model is derived by the matrix analysis method. Through the sensitivity analysis model, it can be easy to get the relationship of the design variables and the mechanism’s robustness, which provides the base to design the folder mechanism in high velocity.

Transportation accidents frequently involve liquids dispersing in the atmosphere. An example is that of aircraft impacts, which often result in spreading fuel and a subsequent fire. Predicting the resulting environment is of interest for design, safety, and forensic applications. This environment is challenging for many reasons, one among them being the disparate time and length scales that must be resolved for an accurate physical representation of the problem. A recent computational method appropriate for this class of problems has been developed for modeling the impact and subsequent liquid spread. This involves coupling a structural dynamics code to a turbulent computational fluid mechanics reacting flow code. Because the environment intended to be simulated with this capability is difficult to instrument and costly to test, the existing validation data are of limited scope, relevance, and quality. A rocket sled test is being performed where a scoop moving through a water channel is being used to brake a pusher sled. We plan to instrument this test to provide appropriate scale data for validating the new modeling capability. The intent is to get high fidelity data on the break-up and evaporation of the water that is ejected from the channel as the sled is braking. These two elements are critical to fireball formation for this type of event involving fuel in the place of water. We demonstrate our capability in this paper by describing the pre-test predictions which are used to locate instrumentation for the actual test. We also present a sensitivity analysis to understand the implications of length scale assumptions on the prediction results.
