Current fuzes for cargo dispensing projectiles can also be fitted with a high explosive (he) booster pellet and used to initiate he burster type projectiles. iti proposes to develop a shape charge fuze that will detonate both projectiles. the phase i effort will include analysis of the existing… More

A micromechanical analytical model will be developed for predicting the failure modes in a fiber reinforced unidirectional ceramic matrix composite. the proposed modelwill be based on modified shear-lag theory that would account for the relatively large matrix stiffness, up to fifty percent of the… More
