KE-Rod Initial Velocity of Hollow Cylindrical Charge

KE-rod warhead is a kind of forward interception warhead. To control the KE-rods to disperse uniformly, the hollow cylindrical charge is applied. Initial velocity is crucial to KE-rods distribution and the coordination between the fuze and the warhead. Therefore, based on the classical Gurney formula of cylindrical charge and tabulate interlayer charge, a mathematical model for calculating the KE-rod initial velocity of hollow cylindrical charge has been deduced based on certain assumptions, of which the basis theory is energy and momentum conservation. To validate this deduced equation, high-speed photography and metal-pass target experimental methods were applied simultaneously to test the initial velocity of designed KE-rod warhead. Testing results clearly indicate that the calculated results of the derived mathematical model coincides with the experimental  results, and with the increase in hollow radius, the calculated results become much closer to the experimental results. But the calculated results of classical Gurney formula are far above the experimental results, and the relative error increases with increase in the hollow diameter. The derived mathematical model with satisfactory accuracy is applicable to calculate the KE-rod initial velocity of hollow cylindrical charge in engineering applications.Defence Science Journal, 2011, 61(1), pp.25-29, DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.14429/dsj.61.7

Reducing symmetry in topology optimization of two-dimensional porous phononic crystals

In this paper we present a comprehensive study on the multi-objective optimization of two-dimensional porous phononic crystals (PnCs) in both square and triangular lattices with the reduced topology symmetry of the unit-cell. The fast non-dominated sorting-based genetic algorithm II is used to perform the optimization, and the Pareto-optimal solutions are obtained. The results demonstrate that the symmetry reduction significantly influences the optimized structures. The physical mechanism of the optimized structures is analyzed. Topology optimization combined with the symmetry reduction can discover new structures and offer new degrees of freedom to design PnC-based devices. Especially, the rotationally symmetrical structures presented here can be utilized to explore and design new chiral metamaterials.Comment: 24 pages, 11 figures in AIP Advances 201

Topology optimization of broadband hyperbolic elastic metamaterials with super-resolution imaging

Hyperbolic metamaterials are strongly anisotropic artificial composite materials at a subwavelength scale and can greatly widen the engineering feasibilities for manipulation of wave propagation. However, limited by the empirical structure topologies, the previously reported hyperbolic elastic metamaterials (HEMMs) suffer from the limitations of relatively narrow frequency width, inflexible adjusting operating subwavelength scale and being difficult to further ameliorate imaging resolution. Here, we develop an inverse-design approach for HEMMs by topology optimization based on the effective medium theory. We successfully design two-dimensional broadband HEMMs supporting multipolar resonances, and theoretically demonstrate their deep-subwavelength imagings for longitudinal waves. Under different prescribed subwavelength scales, the optimized HEMMs exhibit broadband negative effective mass densities. Moreover, benefiting from the extreme enhancement of evanescent waves, an optimized HEMM at the ultra-low frequency can yield a super-high imaging resolution (~{\lambda}/64), representing the record in the field of elastic metamaterials. The proposed computational approach can be easily extended to design hyperbolic metamaterials for other wave counterparts. The present research may provide a novel design methodology for exploring the HEMMs based on unrevealed resonances and serve as a useful guide for the ultrasonography and general biomedical applications.Comment: 23 pages, 13 figure

VoiceFixer: A Unified Framework for High-Fidelity Speech Restoration

Speech restoration aims to remove distortions in speech signals. Prior methods mainly focus on a single type of distortion, such as speech denoising or dereverberation. However, speech signals can be degraded by several different distortions simultaneously in the real world. It is thus important to extend speech restoration models to deal with multiple distortions. In this paper, we introduce VoiceFixer, a unified framework for high-fidelity speech restoration. VoiceFixer restores speech from multiple distortions (e.g., noise, reverberation, and clipping) and can expand degraded speech (e.g., noisy speech) with a low bandwidth to 44.1 kHz full-bandwidth high-fidelity speech. We design VoiceFixer based on (1) an analysis stage that predicts intermediate-level features from the degraded speech, and (2) a synthesis stage that generates waveform using a neural vocoder. Both objective and subjective evaluations show that VoiceFixer is effective on severely degraded speech, such as real-world historical speech recordings.
