Ground reflection pressure plays a crucial role in evaluating the destructive power of ammunition explosions. Accurately measuring this pressure is essential for assessing ammunition's destructive capability and guiding ammunition design. In this study, a theoretical analysis of the parasitic effect of shock and vibration was conducted and COMSOL was employed for performing a multi-physics finite element numerical simulation analysis to elucidate the attenuation characteristics of stress waves in commonly used shock- and vibration-resistant materials.

The evaluation method is proposed in the light of the dimensional method and the similarity principle, and it uses TNT equivalent as the evaluation indicator. To acquire the evaluation indicator, a test system for driving fragment ability of explosives is constructed, which includes a dynamite gun type driven device, a spherical fragment, and a multi-zone fragment velocity measurement system.

This study develops a fault detection device for the fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensing system and a fault detection method to realize the rapid detection of the FBG sensing system on airplanes. According to the distribution of FBG sensors on airplanes, the FBG sensing system is built based on wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) and space division multiplexing (SDM) technologies. Furthermore, the hardware and software of the fault detection device and the relevant FBG demodulator are studied in detail.

During the launch and return of a spacecraft, the intense combustion of propellants generates strong electromagnetic radiation, which interferes with the operation of electronic equipment in the spacecraft. To improve the electromagnetic compatibility of electronic equipment in spacecraft, it is necessary to study the electromagnetic radiation characteristics of rocket fuel. An electromagnetic radiation measurement system based on antennas is designed to measure the electromagnetic radiation generated by rocket fuel, and the electromagnetic radiation characteristics are obtained through data analysis.

Very high resolution (VHR) sub-meter satellite images may offer a low-cost and high-efficiency approach to automatically detect craters and estimate UXO density. Machine-learning methods from the meteor crater literature are ill-suited to find bomb craters, which are smaller than meteor craters and have high appearance variation, particularly in spectral reflectance and shape, due to the complex terrain environment.

The absolute quasistatic pressure calibration principle and the measurement principle of the strain-gauge-type force sensor are described. Based on the mathematical relation model between force and pressure, the influence factors of pressure calibration accuracy are discussed, and the empirical formula for correcting the peak pressure is obtained.

The method can effectively overcome the slow convergence and local minimum problems of BPNN. Based on test data of quasi-static comparison calibration method, a mathematical model between each parameter of drop-weight device and peak pressure and pulse width was established, through which the practical quasi-static calibration without continuously using expensive reference sensors could be realized.
