The Effects Of Rigid Polyurethane Foam As A Confinement Material On Breaching Charge Detonations, Nathan Franz Paerschke-O'Brien
Masters Theses
"The effects of a rigid polyurethane foam used as a confinement material on four types of breaching explosives were tested, focusing on the changes in shockwave peak pressures, detonation load compression forces, and brisance cratering abilities. The Plate Dent testing procedure was modified to incorporate a load cell force sensor, and two air overpressure sensors were included adjacent to the blast to quantify each test result. The testing variables focused on the polyurethane foam cure times and thickness volumes around the breaching explosives to determine the breaching charges' optimal energy output capabilities when confined by the foam material. The rigid …

“Production innovations are occurring faster than ever leading conventional production systems towards cyber manufacturing. Manufacturing workers thus need to frequently learn new methods and skills. In fast-changing, largely uncertain production systems, manufacturers with the ability to comprehend workers’ behavior and assess their operational performance in near real-time will achieve better performance than peers. Recognizing worker actions in near real-time while performing the assembly can serve this purpose. However, reliably recognizing the assembly actions performed by the workers is challenging, because the actions for assembly are complex and workers are not only heterogeneous but sensitive to the variation of the work …
