EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF BULLET-PROOFING CAPABILITIES OF KEVLAR, OF DIFFERENT WEIGHTS AND NUMBER OF LAYERS, WITH 9 MM PROJECTILES

Experimental study of bullet-proofing capabilities of Kevlar, of different weights and number of layers, with 9 mm projectiles

Kevlar is the most commonly used material as armour for protection against bullets used in hand guns because of its impact resistance, high strength and low weight.These properties make Kevlar an ideal material to be used in bullet-proof vests as compared to other materials.In the present study, different numbers of layers of Kevlar with different

A Novel Approach to Calculating the Transmission Accuracy of a Cycloid-Pin Gear Pair Based on Error Tooth Surfaces

Transmission error (TE) and backlash are important parameters used to evaluate the transmission accuracy of cycloid-pin drives.Existing calculation methods are mostly based on two-dimensional tooth profile models, and these methods ignore the influence of some abnormal meshing phenomena caused by profile modifications (PMs), manufacturing errors (M

Caffeine intake exerts dual genome-wide effects on hippocampal metabolism and learning-dependent transcription

Caffeine is the most widely consumed psychoactive substance in the world.Strikingly, the molecular pathways engaged by its regular consumption remain unclear.We herein addressed the mechanisms associated with habitual (chronic) caffeine consumption in the mouse hippocampus using untargeted orthogonal omics techniques.Our results revealed that chron
