It has long been recognized that the mechanical behaviour of materials under conditions of rapid loading and impact differs significantly from that under static load application [1].These differences are specially important for those materials as polymeric foams used as low energy impact absorbing materials[2]. An optimum energy absorbing material needs to dissipate the kinetic energy of the impact while keeping the force on it below some limit, thus resulting in a no-dangerous deceleration of the protected object[3]. The mechanical properties at room temperature of six polyethylene foams with closed cells and different densities have been evaluated in purely compressive impact loading conditions. The energy absorption characteristics have been evaluated through different parameters as the peak of deceleration, the load transmitted, the maximum strain and the impact time. The peak of deceleration is used to obtain the cushion diagrams at five different heights, useful to design energy absorption structures.

AbstractThis research investigates the compressive property of a novel composite based on a weft-knitted auxetic tube subjected to a quasi-static compression test. In order to maximize the influence of the fiber content on the compression test, a Kevlar yarn was used in knitting the tubular samples using three different auxetic arrow-head structures (i.e. 4 × 4, 6 × 6 and 8 × 8 structure). A quasi-static compression test was conducted under two different impact loading speeds (i.e. 5 mm/min and 15 mm/min loading speed). The results indicate that the energy absorption (EA) property of the auxetic composite is highly influenced by the auxeticity of the knitted tubular fabric.

In this paper, the stiffness and damping property of entangled metallic wire materials (EMWM) under quasi-static and low-velocity impact loading were investigated. The results reveal that the maximum deformation of the EMWM mainly depends on the maximum load it bears, and that air damping is the main way to dissipate impact energy. The EMWM can absorb more energy (energy absorption rate is over 60%) under impact conditions. The EMWM has excellent characteristics of repetitive energy absorption.
