NATURAL AGEING OF POLYARAMIDE FIBER FROM BALLISTIC ARMOR

Natural ageing of polyaramide fiber from ballistic armor

Abstract Ballistic armor has been manufactured primarily based on polyaramide (Kevlar and Twaron) or Dyneema but the lifespan warranty in Brazil is only 5 years and after this time period they are incinerated or comminuted and ground up.This study aims to evaluate the changes on the physical, mechanical and morphological properties of polyaramide f

Elementary Siphon-Based Robust Control for Automated Manufacturing Systems With Multiple Unreliable Resources

Resources in a real-world automated manufacturing system may be unreliable, thus paralyzing many existing deadlock control strategies.This paper defines robust legal markings and proposes a two-step robust deadlock control policy for systems of the simple sequential process with resources based on elementary siphons.The first step, called elementar
