USING AN INTERNAL STATE VARIABLE MODEL FRAMEWORK TO INVESTIGATE THE INFLUENCE OF MICROSTRUCTURE AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES ON BALLISTIC PERFORMANCE OF STEEL ALLOYS

An internal state variable (ISV)-based constitutive model has been used within a Lagrangian finite element analysis (FEA) framework to simulate ballistic impact of monolithic rolled homogenous armor (RHA) steel plates by RHA steel spheres and cylinders.The ISV model predictions demonstrate good agreement with experimental Jersey Tops impact data fo

The purpose of this study is to investigate the dynamic interactions between five pure Islamic banks of Pakistan and economic growth by using Panel ARDL method Mealtime over the period of 2006-2016.The study elaborates strong confirmation and advocates the significant positive long-run relationship with economic growth.However, in short-run, each b

The appearance of synapses was a crucial step in the creation of the variety of nervous systems that are found in the animal kingdom.With increased complexity of the organisms came a greater number of synaptic proteins.In this review we describe synaptic proteins that contain the structural domains CUB, CCP, or TSP-1.These domains are found in inve

Although in vivo models are excellent for assessing various facets of whole organism physiology, pathology, and overall response to treatments, evaluating basic cellular functions, and molecular events in mammalian model systems is challenging.It is therefore advantageous to perform these studies in a refined and less costly setting.One approach in

Limb apraxia is a higher brain dysfunction that typically occurs after left hemispheric stroke and its cause cannot be explained by sensory disturbance or motor paralysis.The comparison of motor signals and visual feedback to generate errors, i.e., visuo-motor integration, is important in motor control and motor learning, which may be impaired in a
