PROPERTIES OF ULTRASONICALLY CONSOLIDATED AL/CU LAMINATED COMPOSITES AND THE ATTENUATION EFFECT OF SHOCK WAVES

Properties of ultrasonically consolidated Al/Cu laminated composites and the attenuation effect of shock waves

Researchers have been challenged to improve the protective performance of composite armor materials.Herein, pure Al and Cu foils were used as raw materials and composited concurrently using ultrasonic additive manufacturing technology to study their microstructure and properties.A scanning electron microscope and universal testing machine were used

Investigation of the on-axis atom number density in the supersonic gas jet under high gas backing pressure by simulation

The supersonic gas jets from conical nozzles are simulated using 2D model.The on-axis atom number density in gas jet is investigated in detail by comparing the simulated densities with the idealized densities of straight streamline model in scaling Wall Art (Set of 2) laws.It is found that the density is generally lower than the idealized one and t
