The armoured vehicles manufacturers (AVMs) in the Gulf States encounter many difficulties related to their current performance, their customers' circumstances and the interactions between them. The AVMs are Small and Medium ...

In this work torque vectoring methods are used to compensate for a low performance steer-by-wire system. Currently a number of vehicle manufacturers are considering introducing steer-by-wire into their range of vehicles. ...

High pressure vessels such as gun barrels are autofrettaged in order to increase their operating pressure and fatigue life. Autofrettage causes plastic expansion of the inner section of the cylinder – setting up residual ...

A limitation with the current analytical models for predicting the performance of a magnetorheological (MR) damper is that they fail to capture the hysteretic variation of force versus velocity variation correctly. This ...

Danger zones are defined as an area on shooting ranges in which there is a high risk of harm. Risk driving factor for the size of the danger zone is the ammunition used, properties and ricochet behaviour of the specific ...

During armed conflicts or peace-support operations, most casualties are attributed to vehicle-landmine accidents and thus, mine protection fea-tures are a prerequisite for vehicles serving in these areas. Previously, ...

In a confined plunging liquid jet (CPLJ) system, a liquid jet is allowed to fall in a partially submerged narrow downcomer tube. Liquid jet impingement at gas-liquid interface leads to entrainment of gas, which is dispersed ...
