Experimental and computation assessment of thermomechanical effects during auxetic foam fabrication (2020)
Journal Article

Auxetic foams continue to interest researchers owing to their unique and enhanced properties. Existing studies attest to the importance of fabrication mechanisms and parameters. However, disparity in thermo-mechanical parameters has left much debat... Read More about Experimental and computation assessment of thermomechanical effects during auxetic foam fabrication.

Experimental and numerical study of auxetic sandwich panels on 160 grams of PE4 blast loading (2020)
Journal Article

Mines, specifically as Anti-Tank (AT) mines are a significant threat for defence vehicles. While approaches such as v-shaped hulls are currently used to deflect the blast products from such threats, such a solution is not always usable when hull stan...

Fragmentation studies by non-explosive cylinder expansion technique (2020)
Journal Article

Expansion and fragmentation of metallic cylinders is an important area of study both for designing munitions and mitigation techniques against fragments as well as in the failure of pressurised pipes in industry. Most of the reported studies on fragm... Read More about Fragmentation studies by non-explosive cylinder expansion technique.

Ballistic protective properties of material representative of English civil war buff-coats and clothing (2020)
Journal Article

One type of clothing system used in the English Civil War, more common amongst cavalrymen than infantrymen, was the linen shirt, wool waistcoat and buff-coat. Ballistic testing was conducted to estimate the velocity at which 50% of 12-bore lead spher...

Ballistic research techniques: visualizing gunshot wounding patterns (2020)
Journal Article

There are difficulties associated with mapping gunshot wound (GSW) patterns within opaque models. Depending on the damage measurement parameters required, there are multiple techniques that can provide methods of “seeing” the GSW pattern within an op...
