  1. 1. Development and evaluation of concepts for a high acceleration test rig : Development of a test rig, which aims to expose components to large and controllable accelerations

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap och fysik (from 2013)

    Author : Axel Jansson; [2023]
    Keywords : High acceleration; ballistics; acceleration test rig;

    Abstract : This thesis work is dedicated towards finding a feasible test rig design, which can expose small components, produced by SAAB, to a variety of accelerations under different conditions. A literature study is conducted with the objective of gathering information regarding high acceleration testing, where relevant components, designs and calculation methods are presented. READ MORE

  3. 2. Exterior ballistics analysis for rocket propelled KE-penetrator - A conceptual simulation study within fluid mechanics and flight mechanics

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Emil Wegberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Exterior ballistics; fluid mechanics; high-speed aerodynamics; CFD; RANS; conceptual design; Ytterballistik; strömningsmekanik; höghastighetsaerodynamik; CFD; RANS; konceptuell design;

    Abstract : This study has investigated the conceptual feasibility of a rocket propelled kinetic energy penetrator (KEP), designed for the handheld recoilless rifle Carl-Gustaf® 84 mm calibre system, from an exterior ballistics perspective. The methodology is based upon evaluating the aerodynamic properties of different conceptual design proposals through CFD-simulations and then performing trajectory analysis to assess their exterior ballistic performance.

  4. 3. Simulations of experimental crack development in ceramic material with notched specimen

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Clas Dahlin; [2022]
    Keywords : Solid Mechanics; Fracture mechanics; Ceramics; Dynamics; Ballistics; Hållfasthetslära; Brottmekanik; Keramer; Dynamik; Ballistik;

    Abstract : Low-density armour often uses ceramic materials, as their high compressive strength and relatively low weight make the material ideal for moving in the field. The ballistic protection works by redirecting the plastic flow of the projectile radially, which reduces penetration. READ MORE

  5. 4. Model for risk evaluation for fragment debris after a grenade detonation

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Gustav Lund; [2021]
    Keywords : Risk evaluation; Ballistic limit of skin; Lewis model; Greenbook; External ballistics; Riskbedömning; Ballistisk gräns för hud; Lewismodellen; Greenbookmodellen; Ytterballistik;

    Abstract : Accidents when using or storing explosives can lead to a large number of casualties and injuries. Hence, it is of vital importance, in all countries, to know the risk and act responsibly when working with explosives. READ MORE

  6. 5. Vehicle Integration between Carl-Gustaf M4 and Trackfire RWS : A concept study on mechanical solutions

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)
