With the advancements in the warfare technology, there is a need to have an equal armour protection to help the law enforcement agencies. Since the experimentation is expensive and time consuming and involves various constraints, the finite element codes are an alternative that can predict the projectile impact phenomena. Silicon Carbide is a ceramic known to perform well against projectile penetration. This study is based on investigation of the behaviour of Silicon Carbide of varied thicknesses against a 12.7 mm AP tracer projectile using numerical simulations.

A numerical study on the thermal initiation of a confined explosive in 2-D geometry Aydemir, Erdogan; Ulaş, Abdullah (Elsevier BV, 2011-02-15) Insensitive munitions design against thermal stimuli like slow or fast cook-off has become a significant requirement for today's munitions. In order to achieve insensitive munitions characteristics, the response of the energetic material needs to be predicted against heating stimuli. In this study, a 2D numerical code was developed to simulate the slow and fast cook-off heating conditions of confined munitions and to obtain the response of the energetic materials. Computations were performed in order to pre...
A vulnerability-driven cyber security maturity model for measuring national critical infrastructure protection preparedness Karabacak, Bilge; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi; Baykal, Nazife (2016-12-01) Critical infrastructures are vital assets for the public safety, economic welfare and national security of countries. Cyber systems are used extensively to monitor and control critical infrastructures. A number of infrastructures are connected to the Internet via corporate networks. Cyber security is, therefore, an important item of the national security agenda of a country. The intense interest in cyber security has initiated research focusing on national cyber security maturity assessments. However, littl...
Effect of liner material and explosive type on penetration effectiveness of shaped charge Zaki, S.; Uddin, Emad; Rashid, B.; Mubashar, A.; Shah, Samiur R. (2019-07-01) Shaped charges are used in many civilian and military applications. This study focuses on the effects of liner material and the type of explosive on the development of shaped charge jet. This was carried out by experimentation and numerical finite element-based modelling. Shaped charges were tested on a steel plate during the experimentation and the experimental data were used to validate the developed numerical model of the shaped charge. A hydrocode-based finite element model was able to predict the perfo...
Investigation of layered-spaced and oblique mild steel targets against 7.62 mm AP projectile Çakır, Muhammed; Yıldırım, Raif Orhan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2017) Ballistic resistance of steel targets is important due to its common application to the safety of personnel, shelters for arms and military vehicles. Protective systems should provide a safer condition against possible threats by reducing the weight and the volume they occupy. This causes the total weight of the armor to decrease and increases the mobility of armored vehicle. This study concerns behavior of metallic plates that are spaced and obliquely arranged in order to increase ballistic resistance agai...
An Impact assessment model for technology development programs Tiryaki, Erkan; Çakır, Serhat; Department of Science and Technology Policy Studies (2020) Economic and social development of a country is directly related with the sustainable technology development capabilities and innovation capabilities of its own. Technology development activities are assumed to be the most challenging process of the R&D ecosystem. Mostly the public sector funds the technology development programs because of the required huge resources, difficulty in coordination of multiple partners and risky management stages. This dissertion aims to submit an impact assessment model for e...
