Design and Ballistic Performance Assessment of Pattern-Optimized Lightweight Composite Armor Using ANSYS Explicit Dynamic and AUTODYN
Abstract: This study investigates the ballistic performance of lightweight composite armor panels designed to defeat 9 mm full-metal-jacket (FMJ) threats using high-fidelity numerical simulations. Four different composite materials were arranged into panels of identical overall dimensions; only the internal segment pattern was varied to explore geometric resistance effects while keeping mass and material type controlled. Ballistic impact simulations were performed using ANSYS Explicit Dynamics and AUTODYN to capture high-strain-rate behavior, local …

Characterization of Polyurethane at Multiple Scales for Erosion Mechanisms Under Sand Particle Impact
Abstract: Thin polyurethane layers have been widely used as erosion-resistant coatings on helicopter rotor blades such as UH-60 Black Hawk and Eurocopter SA 315. Published research has mainly focused on empirical studies that relate the mechanical properties such as rebound resilience and hardness of polyurethane to solid particle erosion resistance. However, polyurethane possesses phase mixing at multiple scales and thus sand particle erosion resistance depends also on the microstructure and the …

Material-Level Degradation of Magnetorheological Fluids Under Long-Term Cyclic Shear
Abstract: The long-term functional stability of magnetorheological fluids (MRF) remains a key limitation for their reliable use in adaptive systems and continuously operated magnetorheological devices. In this study, the intrinsic evolution of rheological properties in a commercial MRF (MRC-C1L) is systematically examined under prolonged cyclic loading, with the aim of isolating material-level degradation mechanisms independent of device-related effects. The fluid was subjected to 120,000 low-strain oscillatory shear cycles under a constant …

Bridging the Gap Between Product Development and Entrepreneurship in Engineering Curriculum: A Framework-Based Approach Aligned with NEP 2020
Abstract: Despite advancements in technical education, Indian engineering graduates frequently enter the workforce lacking critical competencies in product development (PD) and entrepreneurship. This imbalance has drawn scrutiny from industry and policymakers alike, with national directives such as the National Education Policy (NEP 2020) emphasizing a shift toward “experiential, holistic, integrated and inquiry-driven” learning models. Similarly, the All-India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) has embedded innovation labs, internship mandates and entrepreneurship courses …
