Achieving high hitting accuracy for a main battle tank is challenging while the tank is on the
move. This can be reached by proper design of a weapon control and gun system. In order …

Genetic Algorithms are popular optimization algorithms, often used to solve complex large
scale optimization problems in many fields. Like other meta-heuristic algorithms, Genetic …

As the maximum operating speeds of high-speed trains (HST) increase, the vibrations
transmitted to the vehicle body increase as well. If the HST is moving on a structure such as …

Although wear mechanism of gun barrel and projectile-barrel interaction have been
comprehensively studied in the past three decades, attention has seldom been paid to the …

Purpose This article examines the forced vibrations of composite beams that have been
reinforced with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and subjected to a moving …

An increase in the use of the gun barrel will cause wear of the inner wall, which reduces the
muzzle velocity and the spin rate of the projectile. The off-bore flight attitude and trajectory of …

The uncertain optimization problem for structural dynamic responses of artillery systems is
studied from the perspective of uncertainty and system engineering. First, a rigid–flexible …

The use of an electromagnetic-tuned liquid column inerter, known as ETLCDI, for mitigating
the seismic response in a nuclear containment structure has been studied. The optimization …

To determine the dynamic forces acting on vehicle components a vehicle-structure-road
interaction is considered. Coupled interaction was modelled using a flexible bridge-like thin …

In this paper, the viscoelastic characterization of biosamples is addressed considering a
measuring technique relying on the use of a MEMS techonology-based microgripper. A …
