Abstract:
Abstract In the introduction of this article the method of building a random forest model is presented, which can be used for both classification and regression tasks. The process of designing the random forest module was characterized, paying attention to the classification tasks module, which was used to build the author’s model. Based on the test results, a random forest model was designed for 7,62 mm ammunition with T-45 tracer projectile. Predictors were specified and values of stop parameters and process stop formulas were determined, on the basis of which a random forest module was built. An analysis of the resulting random forest model was made in terms of assessing its prediction and risk assessment. Finally, the designed random forest model has been refined by adding another 50 trees to the model. The enlarged random forest model occurred to be slightly stronger and it should be implemented.

Abstract:
To study the influence of the structural parameters of the ammunition liner of small-caliber ammunition on the forming characteristics of the projectile, an integrated circumferential multiple explosively formed projectile (MEFP) warhead with an integrated shell and the liner was initially designed, and the wall thickness of the liner is variable. LS-DYNA finite-element software is used to simulate the integral circumferential MEFP of the preliminary design, based on the numerical simulation results, the influence of the thickness at the center of the liner, and the curvature radius of the liner on the shape and velocity of the formed projectile. The numerical simulation results show that when the thickness of the center of the liner is constant and the curvature radius increases gradually, the velocity of the formed projectile decreases and the length: Diameter ratio of formed projectile decreases gradually. When the curvature radius of the liner remains unchanged, the velocity of the formed projectile decreases with the increase of the thickness of the center of the liner, and the shape of the formed projectile does not change significantly. The results show that when the design of integrating the shell and the liner was adopted for the integral circumferential MEFP warhead, the shape of the formed projectile is greatly affected by the curvature radius of the liner (curvature radius of inner and outer walls of the liner), but less by the thickness of the center of the liner. The velocity of the formed projectile is affected by the curvature radius of the inner and outer walls of the liner and the thickness of the center of the liner. Moreover, the influence of the thickness of the center of the liner on the velocity of the formed projectile is greater than that of the curvature radius of the outer wall of the liner.

Abstract:
Reliability as an important index occupies an important position in electronic time fuze design. Small and medium caliber ammunition could be set in wire form or wireless form. Wireless setting can be divided into several forms, electromagnetism induction setting, radio frequency setting, laser setting and so on. There are many existing disadvantages in this technique, such as weak EMI ability, complex structure and poor reliability, while wire setting has the advantages opposite them. A wire setting system for electronic time fuse was designed in this article. In allusion to the problems of low ammunition reliability in the experiment, a method that could detect the working condition of the fuze effectively is presented, and bring a great help for finding out the root of the poor reliability. The experimental results showed that the effective rate of the improved electronic time fuze reached 100% and timing accuracy reached +-3 ms. This study provides a reference for the design of the reliability of setting system.

Abstract:
Under launch impact load, LIGA nickel that manufacturing MEMS fuze safety and arming (S&A) device will have obvious strain rate effect. By using finite element analysis software ANSYS/LS-DYNA, simulation models of a small-caliber ammunition MEMS fuze setback S&A device with strain rate effect and without strain rate effect were respectively established. The results of the two simulation modules were quite different. Comparisons between experimental results and simulation results show that simulation results considering strain rate effect agree well with experimental results, which proves strain rate effect should not be ignored in the simulation of MEMS S&A device.

Abstract:
Abstract Many analytical and numerical models exist that can describe the effect of single projectile impacts on steel targets. These models are not adequate for the evaluation of live fire shoot house containment systems, which are subjected to repeated impact loading from small caliber projectiles over the lifetime of the structure. Models assuming perfectly rigid projectiles over-predict penetration depths. Models assuming rigid targets cannot predict any penetration, and hydrodynamic models are best suited to high velocity impacts well above the ranges of conventional ordinance. Development of sufficient analytical or numerical tools using traditional techniques would be either intractable, empirically based and unique to a given scenario, require unique material properties that are not commonly available, or require significant computational effort. Due to the limited amount of empirical data on multiple impact failure, classical reliability methods are not suitable for assessing the probability of containment system perforation. Using existing experimental results of .223 caliber ammunition against AR500 steel panels with 2-inch ballistic rubber, a commonly found protective system in these facilities, the cumulative effects of multiple projectiles were quantified to estimate the number of impacts required to perforate the target material. Impacts were simulated from normal distributions of the x and y coordinates describing the impact point using a cartesian coordinate plane. The impact resistance of the steel was also simulated from a triangular distribution to account for the variability of the experimental results. Monte Carlo Simulation was then used to estimate the expected number of impacts to cause failure at a single point on the target. Using this collective model, it was possible to determine that the distribution of the number of rounds to cause target failure approached a normal distribution. The results indicated that the mean impacts at failure was 11800 with a standard deviation of 800 impacts. Finally, targeting the allowable risk level for structural failure from the JCSS probabilistic model code from the simulated normal distribution, it was determined that the safe number of impacts was approximately 7996. Decision makers can utilize the safe number of impacts to inform training guidance for the future use of facilities and to develop effective inspection requirements. This model can also be adapted to evaluate similar training facilities and to assess how other small caliber projectile impacts would affect live fire shoot house containment systems, providing a useful tool for the design and analysis of future and the assessment of existing facilities for use with ammunition that did not exist during its design.

Abstract:
Abstract The development of lead-free small caliber weapon systems has inadvertently resulted in rounds with more material penetration capabilities. The increased penetration may mean that existing live-fire facilities will no longer be adequate for the training and certification of military and law enforcement personnel. Constraints on training in many live-fire shoot house facilities are already in place, with some allowing only single round impact during training. With no existing constitutive model for the cellular concrete commonly used in these facilities, it is not currently possible to analyze existing facilities or design new facilities against the most recent generation of ammunition currently being fielded. This project utilizes unconfined compression, uniaxial tension, triaxial confinement, and uniaxial strain from the US Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center and Sandia National Laboratory to characterize cellular concrete using a Holmquist-Johnson-Cook Concrete model for use in numerical simulations. This model is then initially validated using data from existing single projectile impact experiments against a similar material, showing results with reasonable accuracy. Additional experiments to fully validate the proposed model are discussed. This model provides the facility owner a potential tool to validate the safety of their facility against new projectiles and provides the designer of new facilities a tool for optimizing future configurations using these materials.

Abstract:
Abstract The development of advanced small caliber weapon systems has resulted in rounds with more material penetration capabilities. The increased capabilities may mean that existing live-fire facilities will no longer be adequate for the training and certification of military and law enforcement personnel, which could result in training constraints and possibly expensive upgrades to improve the safety of existing facilities. New training ammunition manufactured from novel structural materials are needed to allow for the safe, continued use of live-fire shoot house facilities. The goal of this project is to characterize a sintered metal powder and fit a suitable constitutive model for simulation in support of numerical design. A pressed and sintered blend of copper-tin was selected as a suitable representative material for this application. Samples were tested in uniaxial compression under quasi-static conditions and elevated temperatures. Dynamic compression testing at strain rates up to approximately 105 s−1 was conducted using a split-Hopkinson bar. The results of these tests were then used to fit Johnson-Cook and Zerilli-Armstrong strength models to the test data. The models were fit by selecting points from test data at different strain rates and elevated temperatures. This system of equations was then solved for each model while using the same test data to ensure a fair comparison of the results. A Mie-Gruneisen equation of state for the material was estimated using a rule of mixtures and existing shock and particle velocity data. Taylor cylinder tests were conducted and the rate of change in length was measured using high-speed video. Simulation of the Taylor tests was conducted using the developed strength and equation of state model and compared to the experimental results for model validation and comparison. Both the Johnson-Cook and Zerilli-Armstrong models resulted in less than 1% error of the Taylor cylinder results before material fracture. Further development of a fracture model for this material is recommended for use in high strain rate modeling applications.
