2020 International Conference on Defence Technology

Published 10 April, 2020

The 2020 International Conference on Defence Technology (2020 ICDT) is intended to be held during 26-30 October, 2020, at International Youth Convention Hotels in Nanjing, China.

The 2020ICDT follows on from the very successful 2018 ICDT. Over 600 delegates, representing over 20 countries, attended the 2018 ICDT. Countries represented included France, Italy, Poland, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, Sweden, UK, USA and China. There were many extremely interesting and informative presentations covering basic research in the fields of impact physics, rail guns, energetic materials, properties of materials, novel manufacturing processes and photoelectronic information systems.

Tutorials

Each tutorial fee(not included in the registration fee)is 1200 RMB

 

Clive Woodley

Principal Scientist

Affiliation: Imperial College London,UK

Tutorial DescriptionThe course is intended to be attended by scientists and engineers relatively new to the area of the interior ballistics of guns. Specific areas covered in the tutorial will include the following:1)Ignition of Solid Propellants;2)Solid Propellants;3)Novel Guns and Advanced Charges;4)Charge Design and Interior Ballistics Modelling;4)Other areas may be addressed by request in advance or questions during or afterwards.

 

Adam Wiśniewski

Professor

Affiliation: Military Institute of Armament Technology,Poland

Tutorial DescriptionNew materials for passive armours:1) Behaviour of passive armours after impact of different types of projectiles;2)Nanostructural Steel (NS), their parameters, building of armours with NS and testing;3)Shear Thickening Fluid (STF), their parameters, building of armours with STF and testing;4)Magnetorheological Fluid (MF), their parameters, building of armours with MR and testing.

 

Nicolas Eches

Principal Scientist

Affiliation: Nexter Munitions Company,France

Tutorial DescriptionThe topic of this tutorial is to describe what are the interaction between the different components of the system, i.e. the projectile ends its inner parts such as sabot and penetrator, the barrel, rifled or not, the breech block, the recoil system, and the guiding system, such as the cradle or the sled. The motion equations will be described, detailing the different efforts applied on the projectile, and the reactions of the different parts of the weapon system. Modelling and experimental techniques will also be presented, and will allow to study the sensitivity of several definition parameters. To conclude, the influence of the muzzle and projectile movements on the final impact point will be examined and some information about intermediate ballistics will be given.

 

Luigi T. DeLuca

Professor

Affiliation: Politecnico di Milano,Italy

Tutorial DescriptionThis tutorial describes the main features, in terms of performance parameters, of solid rocket propellants loaded with nanometals and intends to emphasize the unique properties made possible by the addition of nano-sized energetic ingredients. In the first part, steady combustion regimes are examined in detail, including burning rate, pressure exponent, and initial temperature sensitivity, for a wide variety of solid propellants. In the second part, unsteady combustion regimes are discussed, including ignition, extinction by fast depressurization, self-sustained oscillatory burning, pressure deflagration limit, acoustic damping and other transient burning processes. In the third part, particle passivation and coating, chemical and mechanical activation, condensed combustion products, aggregation/agglomeration phenomena, hazards and aging, and delivered specific impulse of solid rocket motors are treated.
