Guo, Zherui M.S.A.A., Purdue University, August 2014. Transverse Compression of High Performance Ballistic Fibers. Major Professor: Weinong Chen. High performance ballistic fibers have been in use for decades, specifically in protective applications against ballistic impact such as bulletproof vest layers and aircraft turbine engine fragmentation barriers. These high performance fibers have ext...

While Web Services ensure interoperability and extensibility for networked applications, they also complicate the deployment of highly collaborative systems, such as virtual reality environments and massively multiplayer online games. Quite simply, such systems often manifest a natural peer-to-peer structure. This conflicts with Web Services’ imposition of a client-server communication model, v...

In the technologically advanced era that we currently live in, there is a growing demand for cheaper and more durable materials for a variety of purposes. The most important safety feature of an automobile is its braking system. The ability of brakes is to provide safe and repeatable stopping, which is related to safety of automobiles and human. Automotive friction materials are multi component...

In order to study the anti-penetration mechanism of composite structures and influence foamed aluminum on performance structures, two were designed processed. Penetration tests carried out finite element models established correctness verified. The results show that has a cushioning effect can reduce ceramic damage. However, cannot provide support for deformation Kevlar, which leads shear damag...

Resin tubes made of epoxy base material and fibers are widely used in the transportation, aeronautics industries due to their high mechanical properties. Different reinforcing resins usually making these lead various In this study, by using a 45-degree unilateral winding method reinforced Glass, Carbon, Kevlar hardness wear behaviors were investigated. The results showed that highest was obtain...

Research is underway to evaluate the aerodynamic performance of two different wind tunnel test sections. These test sections are the hardwall test section and the hybrid anechoic test section, a novel design where the port and starboard walls are replaced by tensioned Kevlar fabric with the goal of making the walls acoustically transparent yet aerodynamically impervious. Having applications in ...
