Nanocomposites attracted the attention of scientists due to their superior mechanical, thermal, chemical and electrical properties. This research studied the impact of adding carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to the woven Kevlar laminated composites on the high and low speed impact characteristics. Different percentages of CNTs were added to the woven Kevlar-Vinylester composite materials. An in-house developed drop weight testing apparatus was utilized for the low speed impact testing. Two different concentrations of the CNTs were added to a 15-layer woven Kevlar laminates, 0.32 wt% and 0.8 wt%. The results showed that: The 0.32 wt % CNT sample enhanced the interlaminar strength of the composite without enhancing the energy absorption capacity whereas, the 0.8 wt % CNT sample did not improve the impact resistance of the Kevlar composite.For the high speed impact tests, a bulletproof vest was prepared using woven Kevlar, resin, and CNTs at 1.5 w% percentage. The ballistic shooting was carried out by a professional shooter using a 30 caliber and 9 mm bullets for the tests. The CNT bulletproof sample bounced back the 30 caliber copper alloy bullet with no penetration.

This study empirically investigates the mechanical strength and high-speed impact resistance of polycarbonate matrix reinforced with different amounts of nano-ZrO2. In order to enhance the mechanical strength of polycarbonate, especially the impact resistance, the nanoparticles were added to polycarbonate matrix as filler with the ratios of 1, 2, 3 and 5% of the composite’s total weight. Transmission electron microscope was utilized for the observation of microscopic structure of the composites, and it revealed an exceptional homogeneous mixture of ZrO2 particles in the polycarbonate matrix. From the results of the tests, it was figured out that adding 1–3 wt% of nano-ZrO2 into polycarbonate remarkably increased the impact resistance of the composite. The results also showed that adding 1 and 2 wt% of nano-ZrO2 to polycarbonate had the most desirable effects on the enhancement of tensile, bending and buckling strength; however, the composites with 3 wt% of nano-ZrO2 had the greatest Izod impact and high-velocity impact resistance. Finally for the impact tests, it was revealed that adding large amounts of nano-ZrO2 (more than 3 wt%) would decrease the mechanical strength of ZrO2/polycarbonate nanocomposite specimens; thus, the fracture occurred, while less energy was absorbed compared with the neat polymer.

Coefficients and constants of a microstructure-based internal state variable (ISV) plasticity damage model for pure copper have been calibrated and used for damage modeling and simulation. Experimental stress-strain curves obtained from Cu samples at different strain rate and temperature levels provide a benchmark for the calibration work. Instron quasi-static tester and split-Hopkinson pressure bar are used to obtain low-to-high strain rates. Calibration process and techniques are described in this paper. The calibrated material model is used for high-speed impact analysis to predict the impact properties of Cu. In the numerical impact scenario, a 100 mm by 100 mm Cu plate with a thickness of 10 mm will be penetrated by a 50 mm-long Ni rod with a diameter of 10mm. The thickness of 10 mm was selected for the Cu plate so that the Ni-Cu penetration through the thickness can be well observed through the simulations and the effects of the ductility of Cu on its plasticity deformation during the penetration can be displayed. Also, that thickness had been used by some researchers when investigating penetration mechanics of other materials. Therefore the penetration resistance of Cu can be compared to that of other metallic materials based on the simulation results obtained from this study. Through this study, the efficiency of this ISV model in simulating high-speed impact process is verified. Functions and roles of each of material constant in that model are also demonstrated.

ABSTRACTHigh molecular weight polyaniline / multi-walled carbon nanotube composite films were fabricated using solution processing. Composite films with various weight percentages of multiwalled carbon nanotubes were fabricated. Physical properties of these composites were analyzed by thermogravimetric analysis, tensile testing, and scanning electron microscopy. These results indicate that the addition of multiwalled nanotubes to polyaniline significantly enhances the mechanical properties of the films. In addition, metal–semiconductor (composite) (MS) contact devices were fabricated, and it was observed that the current level in the films increased with increasing multiwalled nanotube content. Furthermore, it was observed that polyaniline containing one weight percent of carbon nanotubes appears to be the most promising composition for applications in organic electronic devices.

We present a simple hydrodynamical model for the high-speed impact of slender bodies into frictional geomaterials such as soils and clays. We model these materials as non-smooth, complex fluids. Our model predicts the evolution of the impactor’s speed and the final penetration depth given the initial impact speed, and the material and geometric parameters of the impactor and the impacted material. As an application, we investigate the impact of deep-penetrating anchors into seabeds. Our theoretical predictions are found to match field and laboratory data very well.
