Most-cited papers in Defence Technology

A review: On path planning strategies for navigation of mobile robot

B. K. Patle, Ganesh Babu L, Anish Pandey et al. · 27 Apr 2019

This paper presents the rigorous study of mobile robot navigation techniques used so far. The step by step investigations of classical and reactive approaches are made here to understand the development of path planning strategies in various environmental conditions and to identify research gap. The classical approaches such as cell decomposition (CD), roadmap approach (RA),…

A review on machinability of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) and glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite materials

Meltem Altın Karataş, Hasan Gökkaya · 12 Feb 2018

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials are heterogeneous and anisotropic materials that do not exhibit plastic deformation. They have been used in a wide range of contemporary applications particularly in space and aviation, automotive, maritime and manufacturing of sports equipment. Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) and glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite materials, among other…

Cold metal transfer (CMT) technology - An overview

S. Panneer Selvi, A. Vishvaksenan, E. Rajasekar · 1 Sep 2017

Cold Metal Transfer technology has revolutionized the welding of dissimilar metals and thicker materials by producing improved weld bead aesthetics with controlled metal deposition and low heat-input. In this study, the process, weld combinations, laser-CMT hybrid welding and applications of CMT welding are critically reviewed. Microstructure and other weld characteristics have been discussed at length…

A review on lightweight materials for defence applications: Present and future developments

Suchart Siengchin · 11 Mar 2023

The defence sector is now at an advanced level, catering to the global scenario, and countries also invest heavily in research and development. Countries around the world have spent a lot of money on research and development over the years in order to stay ahead of their competitors. Lightweight materials are critical in defence applications…
