Base Bleed projectile simulation for long range large caliber artillery modeling
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)Base Bleed projectile (BB) are artillery projectiles that use base exhaust ejections to reduce the drag that the projectile encounter during its flight. This function is beneficial in extending the range of the artillery ... -
Density effects resulting from polymer bonded explosives pressing parameters
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)Shaped charges are used when a focused force is required to penetrate a target. They have dominated the weaponry market in the recent past due to their ability to penetrate targets. Shaped charges have become more potent ... -
Development of a 6- DOF Trajectory Simulation Model for Asymmetric Projectiles
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)Precision is important to modern artillery where long range cannons can fire unguided and guided projectiles for many kilometres. Precision projectiles are in demand, because it is both cost effective (increasing the chance ... -
Development of an assessment tool to improve systems engineering performance in defense acquisition projects
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)New product development is a generally difficult endeavour but particularly so in the defense sector because of the high stakes, unpredictability and accountability. The acquisition of defense systems is a complex process ... -
Development of model-based system engineering methodology to predict modular artillery charge system performance
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)The performance measures of modular artillery charge system (MACS) are problematic during the early development phases since the ballistic effect of all possible variations of the input variables cannot be validated through ... -
Initiating insensitive munitions by shaped charge jet impact
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)When it comes to attacking munitions by means of a Shaped Charge Jet Impact (SCJI), various types of reactions are likely to occur, which range from a severe detonation to a simple burning type of reaction. These differences ... -
Techno-economic evaluation of demilitarized TiCl₄ recycling processes
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)Demilitarization has become a critical field of study in South Africa over the last decade. With the focus of reusing or recycling all components with potential values, hazardous environmental impacts can be drastically ...
