AB  - Present-day reliance on wheeled and tracked armour personnel carriers (APCs) and infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs), may be changed in the future. Shaped charge grenades and impovised explosive devices (IEDs) represent a considerable threat, even to well protected main battle tanks (MBTs). Paradoxically, the crew of wheeled and tracked troop-carrying vehicles is numerically three to four times larger than that of MBTs, however, their protection in all aspects is significantly lower. Therefore, heavier vehicles may get more attention in the future, where sharing the chassis and a number of components with MBTs could provide significant reductions in procurement costs and maintenance, as well as a simplified logistics in relation to the latest tracked. Obviously, the IFVs mobility of heavy vehicles would be lower than that of lighter vehicles. However, by applying various degrees of modular armour protection, a significant rise in strategic, operational, and tactical mobility could be achieved. Such heavy tracked vehicles, built on a common chassis as MBTs, may equip the future heavy brigades, which will be in contrast to the lighter wheeled vehicles included in rapid deployment brigades. As a result, tracked personnel carrying vehicles may extinct in the future.

AB  - Polimetilmetakrilat (PMMA), zbog svojih karakteristika, pre svega transparentnosti i relativno male gustine, predstavlja danas vrlo atraktivan materijal u inženjerstvu. Zbog toga, istražuju se nove mogućnosti spajanja ovog materijala u cilju dobijanja kompleksnijih i većih radnih predmeta. U ovom radu su prikazane tehnike zavarivanja i spajanja, koje imaju potencijal za primenu u proizvodnji: ultrazvučno zavarivanje, toplotno spajanje, mikrotalasno zavarivanje i tačkasto zavarivanje trenjem. Takođe, prikazani su i uporedne vrednosti smicajne čvrstoće, jednog od dominantnih pokazatelja kvaliteta zavarenog spoja. Na osnovu prikazanih rezultata, najveću smicajnu čvrstoću ima tačkasto zavarivanje trenjem, sledi mikrotalasno zavarivanje, dok najmanju nosivost zavarenog spoja imaju toplotno spajanje i ultrazvučno zavarivanje. Pored toga, na osnovu specifičnosti pojedinih tehnika zavarivanja, može da se konstatuje da je tačkasto zavarivanje trenjem pogodnije za veće radne predmete, dok je veličina radnog predmeta kod mikrotalasnog zavarivanja ograničena veličinom mikrotalasne komore.
AB  - Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) has attractive features, primarily its transparency and low density, which make it a very promising engineering material. Therefore, a novel bonding and welding techniques are being developed, to enable obtaining more complex and larger products. In this paper, perspective bonding and welding processes are presented: ultrasound welding, thermal bonding, microwave welding and friction spot welding. Furthermore, shear strengths of joints obtained by different techniques are shown. Shear strength of joints is commonly used to evaluate the quality of joints. The highest shear strength has friction spot welding, followed by microwave welding. The lowest shear strengths were obtained with thermal bonding and ultrasound welding. Specific characteristics of each joining technique determine their usefulness: friction spot welding is more suited to welding large pieces, while the work piece dimensions weldable by microwave welding is limited by microwave chamber size.

AB  - In this paper, the ballistic resistance of perforated plates made of different types of steel, mounting and geometry was investigated. Different types of steel in various heat treatment conditions were tested. Target mounting was also varied: rigid, oblique and hanging. Furthermore, four different perforated plate geometries were tested: two plate thicknesses and two hole diameters. Their behaviour was tested using impact from firing 12.7 mm M-8 API ammunition at eleven perforated plate samples. These samples were placed by means of a steel frame over a 13 mm RHA plate, at two distances. Damaged area on targets was correlated to ballistic resistance of the whole armour to find the optimal perforated plate. It was found that perforated plates, in optimized case offer a frequent fracture of the penetrating core in up to five parts. This debris is unable to penetrate the basic plate, offering mass effectiveness of the whole armour model of 1.76 and the mass effectiveness of the perforated plate of 5.91.

AB  - In this paper, the behaviour of wire fence was investigated for potential as applique armour. The wire fence used was made from commercial high-strength patented wire and the supporting frames were made of mild steel L-profiles. Both patented wire and L-profiles are of-the-shelf materials. The fence was tested by firing 12.7 min M8 API ammunition at four applique armour models: two of these models use a parallel wire arrangement, with one mounted at a 90 degrees angle from the incoming projectile and the other at 70 degrees; and two of these models use a zig-zag wire arrangement, one mounted at a firm 90 degrees, angle and the other is left in a hanging arrangement. Fence damage was correlated with RHA basic plate damage, on both the face and back. Wire fence has considerable potential as an improvised applique armour, except if the projectile impacts near the center of the wire or near the center between two wires. The latter case was successfully overcome by placing the armour model at an angle and by using a zig-zag wire arrangement. The lowest basic RHA plate damage level was found using the hanging armour model. However, from the point of view of ease of attachment, the most convenient was found to be the armour model with the zig-zag wire arrangement fixed at 90 degrees angle from the incoming projectile. SEM fracto graphy revealed that the fracture surface was predominantly ductile, with dimples filled with debris from the incendiary effect of the projectile.
