Analysis of Cannonballs Penetration Depth and Sand Temperature Colliding into Sand Medium
نویسندگان
چکیده
There are several types of firing tests of cannonballs. In ground firing tests, cannonballs without gunpowder charged are fired against sand heap. When a cannonball collides into sand, the cannonball’s penetration depth, stress and sand temperature depend on the sand properties. Sand tends to become harder than before after plenty of cannonball firing. This is because kinetic energy of a cannonball is dissipated due to friction. Thus, analysis of temperature in sand is important. In this study, a method of sand temperature analysis is suggested.It is found that temperature rises by about 150°C, and the temperature risein sand depends highly on sand density. The results obtained in this study can be used in management of impact test sites. IndexTermsPenetration, Sand, Cannonball, Temperature.

Daily counts of germinated seeds of white saxaul (Haloxylon persicum) incubated at 35 different hydrothermal environments (10-25?C and 0 to -3 MPa) were carried out under controlled laboratory conditions. The seeds were then buried in sand at 4 different depths in well drained pots constantly moisturized for three weeks. In all these hydrothermal conditions, the courses of germination were comp...

Dust is one of the common processes of arid and semiarid regions that its occurrence frequencies has increased in recent years in Iran. The proper identification of sand and dust storms (SDS) is particular importance due to its impact on the environment and human health. So far, several methods for identifying these sources have been proposed such as methods based on field studies and geomorpho...

The complex, relative dielectric permittivity " of dry desert sand, collected at the Grand Erg Oriental in Ksar Ghilane, Tunisia, in October 1994, was measured with microwave resonators at frequencies between 0.245 and 6 GHz. The results are presented here. Whereas the real part "0 is nearly independent of frequency, a monotonous decrease of the imaginary part "00 with increasing frequency is o...
