DST Group conducted tensile and dynamic testing on an expired HUSLE assembly in order to identify the mechanical properties of the roundslings.

This report documents the outcomes of an investigation into the utility of Augmented Reality (AR) for Land Logistics and Combat Service support, under Defence Science and Technology Group’s 2016/17 Summer Vacation Placement program.

This study characterised a selection of dirt, dust and volcanic ash samples in order to assess their potential for causing engine degradation.

Epoxies are the most widely used resins for bonded composite repair; however they possess low fracture toughness, impact strength and peel strength due to high cross linking densities. In this work, the impact of two commercially available tri-block copolymers on the mechanical performance of two different low temperature cure epoxy resin systems are evaluated.

This report seeks to redress this and provide an overview reference document for armour designers and armoured vehicle capability acquisition and quality assurance engineers.

This report provides an overview of battery technologies and related issues relevant to their use in military land vehicles.

Using a custom-written FORTRAN computer program, interfaced with an existing two-dimensional boundary element fracture analysis code, the present report provides an extensive set of Beta factor solutions covering a wide range of hole offsets and crack lengths. This work has also led to the derivation of an improved closed-form analytical two-dimensional Beta factor solution for the related case of symmetrical cracks emanating from a central hole in a finite-width strip.
