Abstract: This paper presents a method for analyzing the results of a Taylor impact test. From post-mortem measurements of final specimen length and final undeformed specimen length the dynamic material ...

Abstract: The basic relationships for transient flow in a straight tube are investigated for the case of axial boundary motion. Viscous effects and other small terms are neglected allowing the problem ...

Abstract: An analytical solution is developed for the tapered arbor spring slip clutch by introducing approximations that do not appreciably affect the accuracy of the important clutch quantities. In ...

Abstract: Utilizing Liapunov’s direct method a procedure is presented which generates sufficient conditions for the stability of the null solution of the nonautonomous differential equation ẍ + b(t)ẋ + ...

Abstract: In this paper, a simple theoretical analysis of an old problem is presented. The analysis is more complete than earlier versions, but retains the mathematical simplicity of the earlier versions. ...

Abstract: A new one-dimensional theory for estimating the dynamic yield strength of materials, based on post-test measurements of Taylor impact specimens, has been developed by the authors. This theory ...

Abstract: For several years, the Air Force has been engaged in the development of high velocity air to surface missiles to defeat hard targets, such as concrete, sand, and soil. The objective is to ...
