  • Ballistic behaviour of explosively shattered alumina and silicon carbide targets 
    Nanda, H.; Appleby-Thomas, Gareth J.; Wood, D. C.; Hazell, P. J. (Maney Publishing, 2011-12-31)
    The resistance offered by three ceramic materials of varying strength that have been subjected to explosive loading has been investigated by depth-of- penetration testing. Each material was completely penetrated by a ...
  • The effects of changing chemistry on the shock response of basic polymers 
    Millett, J.; Brown, E. N.; Gray III, G. T.; Bourne, Neil K.; Wood, D. C.; Appleby-Thomas, Gareth J. (2016-07-11)
    The shock response of four common semicrystalline thermoplastic polymers—polyethylene (PE), polyvinylchloride (PVC), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE)—have been studied in terms of their ...
  • Investigation of the high-strain rate (shock and ballistic) response of the elastomeric tissue simulant Perma-Gel® 
    Appleby-Thomas, Gareth J.; Wood, D. C.; Hameed, Amer; Painter, Jonathan; Le-Seelleur, V.; Fitzmaurice, Brianna C. (Elsevier, 2016-04-01)
    For both ethical and practical reasons accurate tissue simulant materials are essential for ballistic testing applications. A wide variety of different materials have been previously adopted for such roles, ranging from ...
  • Lateral stress evolution in chromium sulfide cermets with varying excess chromium 
    Petel, O. E.; Appleby-Thomas, Gareth J.; Wood, D. C.; Capozzi, A.; Nabavi, Seyed Ali; Goroshin, S.; Frost, D. L.; Hazell, P. J. (2016-07-01)
    The shock response of chromium sulfide-chromium, a cermet of potential interest as a matrix material for ballistic applications, has been investigated at two molar ratios. Using a combustion synthesis technique allowed for ...
  • On the dynamic behavior of three readily available soft tissue simulants 
    Appleby-Thomas, Gareth J.; Hazell, P. J.; Wilgeroth, J. M.; Shepherd, C. J.; Wood, D. C.; Roberts, A. (American Institute of Physics, 2011-12-31)
    Plate-impact experiments have been employed to investigate the dynamic response of three readily available tissue simulants for ballistic purposes: gelatin, ballistic soap (both subdermal tissue simulants), and lard ...
  • On the effects of powder morphology on the post-comminution ballistic strength of ceramics 
    Appleby-Thomas, Gareth J.; Wood, D. C.; Hameed, Amer; Painter, Jonathan; Fitzmaurice, Brianna C. (Elsevier, 2016-10-29)
    In this paper in order to try and elucidate the effects of particle morphology on ballistic response of comminuted systems, a series of experiments were carried out via the use of powder compacts with differing initial ...
  • On the interpretation of lateral manganin gauge stress measurements in polymers 
    Appleby-Thomas, Gareth J.; Hazell, P. J.; Wilgeroth, J. M.; Wood, D. C. (2010-09-17)
    Encapsulated wire-element stress gauges enable changes in lateral stress during shock loading to be directly monitored. However, there is substantial debate with regards to interpretation of observed changes in stress ...

    Appleby-Thomas, Gareth J.; Hazell, P. J.; Wilgeroth, J. M.; Wood, D. C. (American Institute of Physics, 2010-12-31)
    Encapsulated wire-element stress gauges enable changes in lateral stress during shock loading to be directly monitored. However, there is substantial debate with regards to interpretation of observed changes in stress ...
  • Shock behaviour of a phenolic resin 
    Wood, D. C.; Hazell, P. J.; Appleby-Thomas, Gareth J.; Barnes, N. R. (Springer Science Business Media, 2011-12-31)
    Phenolic resins are used in many aspects of everyday life, e.g. as the matrix material for carbon fibre laminates used in the aerospace industry. Consequently detailed knowledge of this material, especially while under ...
  • Shock propagation in a complex laminate 
    Wood, D. C. (2014-06-10)
    The shock response of a complex laminate has been investigated using a single stage gas gun, with manganin pressure gauges employed to investigate the shock profile. The complex laminate investigated was known by the ...
