An experiment was carried out to investigate the hydraulic performance of an impact sprinkler by using circular and non-circular nozzles. A High-Speed Photography (HSP) technique was employed to extract the breakup process and flow behavior of low-intermediate pressure water jets issued from the different types of orifices. These orifices were selected by the principle of equal flowrate with the same pressure. Moreover, two characteristic lengths: the jet breakup length and the initial amplitude of surface wave were measured. It was found that the sprinkler with circular nozzles produced the largest radius of throw followed by square nozzles and regular triangular nozzles when the cone angle of nozzle and pressure were unchanged, while the sprinkler with regular triangular nozzle had the best variation trend of water distribution and combination uniformity coefficient. Regular triangular jets exhibited a higher degree in breakup and the shortest breakup length compared with the square jets and the circular jets. The initial amplitudes of surface waves of regular triangular jets were larger than the square jets and the circular jets with the same cone angle. Two index equations of jet characteristic lengths and equivalent diameters of both circular and non-circular orifices were fitted with a relative error of less than 10%, which means the fitting formulas were accurate. Keywords: Breakup length, Fitting formula, Hydraulic performance, Initial amplitude, Non-circular jets.

Recent developments in the production of technical flax fabrics allow the use of sustainable natural fibres to replace synthetic fibres in the manufacture of structural composite parts. Natural fibre reinforced biocomposites have been proven to satisfy design and structural integrity requirements but impact strength has been identified as one of their limitations. In this paper, hybridisation of the biocomposite with a metal layer has been investigated as a potential method to improve the impact resistance of natural fibre composites. The impact response of biocomposites made of flax-epoxy is investigated experimentally using a high velocity particle impactor. A high-speed camera setup was used to observe the rear surface of the plates during impact. Digital Image Correlation (DIC) of the high speed camera images was used for full-field strain measurement and to study the initiation and propagation of damage during the impact. The different modes of damage in the hybrid laminate were identified by postimpact analysis of the section of the damaged composite plate using optical microscopy. The study shows the difference in impact response for different material combinations and configurations. The hybrid construction was shown to improve the impact resistance of the flax composite.

The Taylor test is used to determine damage evolution in carbon-fibre composites across a range of strain rates. The hierarchy of damage across the scales is key in determining the suite of operating mechanisms and high-speed diagnostics are used to determine states during dynamic loading. Experiments record the test response as a function of the orientation of the cylinder cut from the engineered multi-ply composite with high-speed photography and post-mortem target examination. The ensuing damage occurs during the shock compression phase but three other tensile loading modes operate during the test and these are explored. Experiment has shown that ply orientations respond to two components of release; longitudinal and radial as well as the hoop stresses generated in inelastic flow at the impact surface. The test is a discriminant not only of damage thresholds but of local failure modes and their kinetics.

The Impact

The type of stress pulse produced when a liquid mass strikes a solid at high velocity is first examined. Compressible behaviour, giving rise to a sharp peak of pressure, is found to occur in the initial stages of the impact. The duration of this peak depends on the dimensions and impact velocity of the liquid mass, and also on the compressible wave velocity for the liquid. A comparison is made with pulses produced by solid/solid impact and by the detonation of small quantities of explosive. Both the high-speed liquid impact and the explosive loading give intense pulses of duration only a few microseconds. A solid/solid impact has, by comparison, a much longer impact time of the order of hundreds of microseconds. The fracture of glasses and hard polymers using these three types of loading is described. The development of fracture is followed by high-speed photography. Differences in the modes of fracture are attributed to variations in the shape and duration of the applied stress pulses. Short circumferential fractures produced around the loaded area in liquid impact and explosive loading are shown to be initiated by the Rayleigh surface wave at points where flaws existed. More complex fracture patterns on the front surfaces of plates are due to the reinforcement of the surface wave with components of stress waves reflected from the back surface. A combination of impact loading and etching makes it possible to investigate the distribution and depths of flaws, their role in the fracture process, and the effect which etching has upon them. The observation on the deformation produced in solids by liquid impact has practical significance in the problem of supersonic aircraft flying through rain and in the erosion of turbine blades moving at high velocity through wet steam.

Currently, most of commercial needle-free jet injectors generate the liquid jet by a method called “driving object method” (DOM); however, the reliability and efficiency are still questioned. This paper proposes a new concept of jet generation method, known as “impact driven method” (IDM). A prototype of an IDM jet injector is designed, built, tested, and compared to a commercial device (Cool.click, Tigard, OR). Fundamental characteristics, i.e., the exit jet velocity and impact pressure, are measured. Jet injection processes are visualized both in air and in 20% polyacrylamide by high speed photography. In this study, from the prototype of the IDM jet injector, a maximum jet velocity of 400 m/s and impact peak pressure of 68 MPa can be obtained. It is clear that the IDM jet injector provides a double pulsed liquid jet, which is a major advantage over the commercial jet injector. Because, the first pulse gives a shorter erosion stage, and then, immediately the second pulse follows and provides a better penetration, wider lateral dispersion, and considerably less back splash. Hence, lower pain level and higher delivery efficiency should be achieved. It can be concluded that the IDM concept is highly feasible for implementation in real applications, either for human or animal injection. However, the control and accuracy of IDM still needs to be carefully investigated.

In this work, a new experimental methodology for analyzing the drop impact response is assessed using a pair of high-speed digital cameras and 3D digital image correlation software. Two different test boards are subjected to Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) standard free-fall impact conditions of half-sine pulse of 1500 G in magnitude and 0.5 ms in duration. The drop is monitored using a pair of synchronized high-speed cameras at a rate of up to 15,000 frames per second. The acquired images are subsequently analyzed to give full-field dynamic deformation, shape, and strain over the entire board during and after impact. To validate this new methodology for analyzing the impact response, the in-plane strain as well as the out-of-plane acceleration at selected locations were measured simultaneously during the drop using strain gauge and accelerometers and were compared with those obtained using high-speed cameras and 3D digital image correlation presented in this paper. Comparison reveals excellent correlation of the transient behavior of the board during impact and confirms the feasibility of using the full-field measurement technique used in this study.

Previously, it has been verified experimentally for durations of impact that the Hertz theory (the quasi-statical theory) holds during impact of spheres without any exception. However, no measurement of duration of impact has been presented for spheres of materials other than metal. This study presents exceptional cases of impacts of spheres during which the Hertz model does not directly hold. By the use of a high-speed camera running at a speed of 5000 frames/s, durations of impact are measured directly for impacts of two solid rubber spheres of the same size and content and impacts of a soft ball (Japanese type-soft tennis ball) on a rigid foundation. As a result, the measured durations of impact in the two impacting cases are found to be decreased as the impact velocity is increased, similar in tendency to durations of impact of elastic metal spheres during which the Hertz theory holds. However, the measured durations of impact are found to be clearly shorter than results calculated according to the Hertz theory, approximately half in the former impacts at high impact velocities, and about 70 percent of the Hertzian results in the latter impacts at almost all impact velocities. Deformation process of the ball impacting on the foundation is also presented to indicate both durations in the compressive process and the restitution one to be shorter than those expected by the Hertz theory. The other results observed on the films are noted to investigate the origin of the great discrepancies between the measured and Hertzian durations (that is, the impacting mechanism of the rubber spheres or the rubber ball packed with air treated here).

Aiming at the welding arc can act with the magnetic field, has electrical quasi-neutral and electrical conductivity. This paper introduced an adscititious longitudinal magnetic field to control the CO2 welding process and used the Hanover Welding Quality Analyzer to acquire the real-time welding signal. Meanwhile, the short circuit behavior of CO2 welding under the adscititious longitudinal magnetic field, was monitored with the High-speed Photography System. The results show that when the excitation current in an optimal range, the welding current decay and the frequency of short circuit transition is uniform and faster, smaller droplet size and the welding process is more stability than welding without adscititious magnetic field.
