Comparison of the High Strain Rate Response of Boron/Silicon Carbide and MAX Phase Ceramics Using the Image-Based Inertial Impact Test

The understanding of the deformation behavior of rubber materials under high strain-rate or high loading-rate conditions will be important in their impact applications adopting significant viscoelastic behavior. Taylor impact test has originally used to determine the average dynamic yield strength of metallic materials at high strain rates, but it also can be used to examine the overall deformation behavior of rubbers representing large elastic deformation by using a high-speed photography technique. Taylor impact tests of rubber materials were carried out in the velocity range between 100~250 m/s using a 20 mm air gun. In order to investigate the overall dynamic deformation behavior of rubber projectiles during Taylor impact test, a 8-Ch high-speed photography system which provides a series of images at each elapsed time was incorporated. Three kinds of rubber materials with different Tg (glass transition temperature) were supplied. The bulging behavior of rubber projectile could be evaluated quantitatively by digitizing images taken. Taylor impact tests at various temperature levels were conducted to predict the bulging behavior of rubbers at high strain rate.

Low Strain Rate

The static and dynamic properties on the hoist hook of a vessel are necessary since they are affected by the damages of a static and dynamic load. Al-Si-Mg casting alloy (AC4C-T6) is widely used due to its good mechanical properties as well as the light weight and good casting with complex geometries. This study accomplished a static tension test and an impact test. Based on the test results and fracture surface analysis, we found that there are great differences between the fracture strain and yield stress in the different extracted regions of specimen. In tensile test, yield stress were 205 MPa at a low strain rate of 5 mm/min and 220 MPa at a high strain rate of 25mm/min. In Charpy impact test, impact properties of AC4C aluminum alloy were analyzed by impacting loading versus displacement and impacting energy versus displacement. Compared the fracture strains in different strain rates, maximum fracture strain of low strain rate was mainly 10 % higher than that of high strain rate. There were more than 20 % differences in the strain rate. The ductile and brittle behaviors were showed in low strain rate and high strain rate in static tensile test, respectively. The impact energy reached high when they were extracted from a plane region in the mold. But impact energy reached low when they were extracted from a curved and edge region. It is demonstrated that mechanical properties and impact energy of the samples where were extracted from a curved and edge region was lower than that of the samples where were extracted from a plane region.

Split Hopkinson

Testing fibre composites off-axis has been used extensively to explore shear/tension coupling effects. However, off-axis testing at strain rates above 500 s-1 is challenging with a split Hopkinson bar apparatus. This is primarily due to the effects of inertia, which violate the assumption of stress equilibrium necessary to infer stress and strain from point measurements taken on the bars. Therefore, there is a need to develop new high strain rate test methods that do not rely on the assumptions of split Hopkinson bar analysis. Recently, a new image-based inertial impact test has been used to successfully identify the transverse modulus and tensile strength of a unidirectional composite at strain rates on the order of 2000 -1. The image-based inertial impact test method uses a reflected compressive stress wave to generate tensile stress and failure in an impacted specimen. Thus, the purpose of this study is to modify the image-based inertial impact test method to investigate the high strain rate properties of fibre composites using an off-axis configuration. For an off-axis specimen, a combined shear/tension or shear/compression stress state will be obtained. Throughout the propagation of the stress wave, full-field displacement measurements are taken. Strain and acceleration fields are then derived from the displacement fields. The kinematic fields are then processed with the virtual fields method (VFM) to reconstruct stress averages and identify the in-plane stiffness components G12 and E22.

In the context of the design of aeronautical structures regarding accidental events, we are here investigating and comparing the shear failure of two aluminum alloys, namely AA2024 and AA7175, under high strain rate loading. With this aim in view, two experiments were carried out: (i) high strain rate shear compression of hat shaped structures, and (ii) impact test on the edge of double notched plates. The fractured surfaces of post-mortem specimens were observed using optical and scanning electron microscopes (SEM) in order to identify the failure mechanisms.
