Lead-free ammunition is growing in popularity as alternatives to lead-based bullets given the health risks that lead poses to humans, wildlife, and the environment. In standard ammunition rounds, lead is the major constituent of the projectile mass. Lead bullet fragmentation…
A BASIC INTRODUCTION TO COMPOSITES AND THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITES. THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Composite materials are materials made from two or more constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties, that when combined, produce a material with characteristics different from the individual components. The individual components remain separate and distinct within the…
Radiation Shielding Materials- Best Practices
Radiation can be a serious problem in nuclear power generation facilities, as well as in industrial or medical x-rays systems. Radiations are the result of radioactive isotopes, an isotope with an unstable nucleus which contains excess energy. Containing these radiations…
Facts about frangible ammunition
A frangible material is one that can easily fracture and disintegrate upon impact. Such materials will form various fragments following a severe impact with another structure. There are certain materials which possess this property and others which do not. This…
Facts about vibration damping that you should know
#Vibration_damping refers to the isolation of energy that emanates from a system which produces vibrations as it is operating. There are countless machines which produce a lot of energy in the form of vibrations during their operation. While such machines…
