The impact of the coupling relationship between projectile size and yarn dimension on the ballistic performance of plain weave fabric by Kaiying Wang, Xuan Zhou, Wenke Ren, Yiding Wu, Yilei Yu, Yi Zhou, Lizhi Xu, Guangfa Gao

“…The influence law of projectile size on the ballistic performance of high-performance fabrics is as follows: The relative range of fitted ballistic limit velocity at different target positions gradually decreases and then stabilizes as the projectile diameter increases, indicating that the fabric structure effect gradually disappears at a projectile diameter of 12 mm; The average ballistic limit velocity at three impact positions, P1, P2, and P3, provides the corresponding ballistic limit velocity for 1000D aramid fabric, which increases with projectile diameter but the rate of increase slows down at an inflection point, which in this study occurs where the fabric structure effect nearly disappears at a projectile diameter of 12 mm; The energy absorption ratio increases and then decreases as the projectile diameter increases from 4 mm to 20 mm, reaching a peak at the diameter of 12 mm due to the gradual disappearance of the fabric structural effect. …”

Hobbing Error and Adjustment of Worm-gear Tooth Surface by Lu Jianwei, Chen Ningxin

“…At present,there are two different kinds of worm-gear hobs in domestic: outer diameter increment hob and pitch diameter increment hob.The outer diameter increment hob has been eliminated a long time ago in the most of the developed industrial countries because of its short service life.However,the pitch diameter increment hob needs to set mounting tilt angle and manufacturing center distance that differs from nominal center distance during hobbing.And following the hob reshaping that reduces the hob pitch diameters,the tilt angle and manufacturing center distance have to be re-calculated and adjusted.Any incorrectness of those two settings will cause worm-gear tooth surface error.The calculation equations of tilt angle and manufacturing center distance are introduced,the error of worm-gear tooth surface caused by the above incorrectness machining parameters settings are analyzed.Two calculation examples,one for single head worm-gear and another for multi-starts of worm are given readers to reveal the distribution of the worm gear tooth surface error,the basis for correcting the machining tool parameter error is provided.…”
