Abstract The strength of connection between the rocket engine and warhead has a certain relationship with warhead’s ballistic characteristics structural response. In this paper, effects weak connecting structure on penetration performance free-flight (unguided) rockets is studied by numerical simulation experiment. oblique different structures into armour plates numerically simulated, rockets’ ...

The accuracy of search guidance is reflected in the probability of fixating distractors within a search display as a function of their similarity to the target (e.g., Stroud et al. , JEP: HPP, 2012). Strong search guidance produces high fixation rates to distractors that match the target on a given dimension (e.g., color), and low fixation rates to distractors that do not match the target. When...
