Experimentally determined calorimetric measurements of the heat of detonation, along with the overpressure histories in an explosion chamber filled with nitrogen, were used to determine the quasi-static pressure (QSP) under anaerobic conditions. Overpressure measurements were also performed in a semi-closed bunker, and all blast wave parameters generated after the detonation of 500 g charges of the tested explosives were determined. Detonation calorimetry results, QSP values, and blast wave parameters (pressure amplitude, specific and total impulses) clearly indicate that Be is much more effective as an additional fuel than either Al or Mg in both anaerobic post-detonation reactions as well as the subsequent aerobic combustion. The heat of detonation of the RDXwax/AP/Be explosive mixture is over 40% and 50% higher than that of the mixture containing aluminum and magnesium instead of beryllium, respectively. Moreover, the TNT equivalent of the Be-containing composition due to the overpressure in the nitrogen-filled explosion chamber is 1.66, while the equivalent calculated using an air shock wave-specific impulse at a distance of 2.5 m is equal to 1.69.

For monitoring natural environments and conducting security activities within a certain range using a surface vehicle, the swarm robot system is more efficient than the operation of a single object as the former can reduce cost and save time. It is necessary to detect adjacent surface obstacles robustly to operate a cluster of unmanned surface vehicles. For this purpose, a LiDAR (light detection and ranging) sensor is used as it can simultaneously obtain 3D information for all directions, relatively robustly and accurately, irrespective of the surrounding environmental conditions. Although the GPS (global-positioning-system) error range exists, obtaining measurements of the surface-vessel position can still ensure stability during platoon maneuvering. In this study, a three-layer convolutional neural network is applied to classify types of surface vehicles. The aim of this approach is to redefine the sparse 3D point cloud data as 2D image data with a connotative meaning and subsequently utilize this transformed data for object classification purposes. Hence, we have proposed a descriptor that converts the 3D point cloud data into 2D image data. To use this descriptor effectively, it is necessary to perform a clustering operation that separates the point clouds for each object. We developed voxel-based clustering for the point cloud clustering. Furthermore, using the descriptor, 3D point cloud data can be converted into a 2D feature image, and the converted 2D image is provided as an input value to the network. We intend to verify the validity of the proposed 3D point cloud feature descriptor by using experimental data in the simulator.

This study focuses on the angle gradient and proposes four different configurations of concave hexagonal honeycomb structures. The structures' macroscopic deformation behavior, stress-strain relationship, and energy dissipation characteristics are evaluated through quasi-static compression and Hopkinson pressure bar impact experiments. The study reveals that, under varying strain rates, the structures deform starting from the weak layer and exhibit significant interlayer separation. Additionally, interlayer shear slip becomes more pronounced with increasing strain rate. In terms of quasi-static compression, symmetric gradient structures demonstrate superior energy absorption, particularly the symmetric negative gradient structure (SNG-SMS) with a specific energy absorption of 13.77 J/cm³. For dynamic impact, unidirectional gradient structures exhibit exceptional energy absorption, particularly the unidirectional positive gradient honeycomb structure (UPG-SML) with outstanding mechanical properties. The angle gradient design plays a crucial role in determining the structure's stability and deformation mode during impact. Fewer interlayer separations result in a more pronounced negative Poisson's ratio effect and enhance the structure's energy absorption capacity.
