Aristotle, projectiles and guns
Stephen M. Walley
When guns were developed in Europe in the 14th century, the theory of projectile motion was not the one we are familiar with today due to Galileo and Newton but the one taught by A…
Major steps in the discovery of adiabatic shear bands
Bradley Dodd, Stephen M. Walley, Rong Yang +1
The ASB phenomenon was first described by Russian researchers in 1928 and 1935. Translations of both papers are included.
Particle size effect on strength, failure and shock behavior in Polytetrafluoroethylene-Al-W granular composites
E. B. Herbold, V. F. Nesterenko, D. J. Benson +6
The variation of metallic particle size and sample porosity significantly alters the dynamic mechanical properties of high density granular composites processed using a cold isosta…
High Strain and Strain-Rate Behaviour of PTFE/Aluminium/Tungsten Mixtures
John Addiss, Jing Cai, Stephen Walley +2
Conventional drop-weight techniques were modified to accommodate low-amplitude force transducer signals from low-strength, cold isostatically pressed 'heavy' composites of polytetr…
The influence of metallic particle size on the mechanical properties of PTFE-Al-W powder composites
J. Cai, V. F. Nesterenko, K. S. Vecchio +6
The dynamic mechanical properties of reactive materials (e.g., high density mixtures of polytetraflouroethylene (PTFE), aluminum (Al) and tungsten (W) powders) can be tailored by c…
