Abstract: This study contributes to the limited data on available dynamic penetration in cohesive soils at velocities exceeding 100  m/s, in support of envisioned soil remediation of unexploded ordnances (UXOs) found at formerly ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to model the high strain rate material behavior of metals using Bodner-Partom visco-plastic constitutive model. A unique algorithm has been developed to evaluate ...

Abstract: A tangent linear adjoint for a low-resolution dynamical model of the atmosphere is used to derive the optimal forcing perturbations for all state variables such that after a specified lead time the model response has a ...

Abstract: In most dry, low NOx combustor designs, the front panel impingement cooling air is directly injected into the combustor primary zone. As this air partially mixes with the swirling flow of ...

Abstract: Although the 100-year floodplain is the traditional indicator of risk from flooding and a catalyst for mitigation decisions in the United States, increasing evidence indicates that this boundary is not sufficient in ...

Abstract: The depth of burial (DoB) of projectiles penetrating soils at high velocities is of interest in a number of scientific and engineering applications. In this study, a phenomenological penetration model is presented for ...

Abstract: This paper describes an algorithmic strategy to facilitate the generation of multicomponent software tools for computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) and virtual manufacturing (VM). Components that are ...
