The purpose of the study is to predict the ballistic strength of hard ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber/phenolicballistic composites by implementing the full factorial experimental design. When designing ballistic composites two major factors are the most important: the ballistic strength and the weight of the protection. The ultimate ...

For the prediction of formation of non-ferrous processing and accumulating waste both model of balancing and model of correlation and regression analysis can be employed, while the dynamic model can be applied only for the accumulating waste. Estimates of the formation of certain type of metallic secondary raw materials in model of balancing are ba...
