Concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) structures have been widel y used in civil engineering structures, due to its good behaviors under both static and dynamic loads. In this paper, numerical studies were carried out to investigate the anti-impact behavior of partially concrete-filled steel tubular (PCFST) columns under lateral impact loads. Finite element analysis (FEA) model was established using ABAQUS. To validate the FEA model, the numerical results were compared with experimental results. Moreover, parameter analysis was carried out to further study the anti-impact behaviors of the PCFST columns. The concrete filling height, the impact energy, the impact direction, and the yield strength of steel were the main parameters considered in this study. The dynamic responses under the impact load, including the impact force, the failure mode, and the displacement response, were all analyzed. The results of parameter analysis showed that the anti-impact behaviors of the PCFST columns significantly increased when the concrete filling height or the yield strength of steel increased greatly. The impact energy and direction also greatly affected the anti-impact behaviors of the PCFST columns.

The analysis on the basic mechanical properties of hot-rolled H-shaped steel beam under lateral impact load was done by use of ABAQUS. The reliability of the FEA model was verified through comparing with the existing experiment of H-shaped steel beam subjected to lateral impact. And then, this FEA model was used to research the dynamic response of the H-shaped steel beam subjected to lateral impact. The main parameters include the impact energy, mass and impact velocity of the impact hammer. The results indicate that the finite element analysis model built in this paper could accurately simulate the process of hot-rolled H-shaped steel beam under lateral impact load and the impact energy, mass and impact velocity have different influences on the dynamic response of H-shaped steel beam.

The Impact

The Indonesian railway transportation has adventages in term of capacity, efficiency, trafic, and safety compared to the other types of land transportations. At present, the Indonesian Railway Company has 519 locomotives, and 1643 passenger cars, that transport about 184 million man-trip each year[1,2]. Unfortunately, the rate of train collisions in Indonesian railway system was very high. In the last ten years, 2352 train accidents have happened which claimed 997 lives and left 2638 people injured. The record shows that 110 of those accidents were train to train collisions[1]. This paper consider the structural impact behavior of Indonesian passenger railway car subject to collision forces. This characteristic is very important parameter for passenger protection during the course of collision[3-5]. The vehicle structure should be able to absorb the huge impact energy or impact force to ensure the passenger safety[6-9]. The impact energy of cars-train is evaluated using the principle of multibody dynamics[10,11]. The vehicle structure under impact load is analyzed using the finite element method. The principal of symmetry is adopted, so the collision scene could be simulated as collision between the vehicle with a rigid wall. The analysis result shows that the structure is collapse at the passenger area (saloon) which is in agreement with the real collision. Modification is proposed to protect the passenger area by introducing crush zone area and impact energy absorber.

The objective of using materials is to fully utilize the properties of these materials in order to obtain the best performance of the structure. The merits of material are based on many factors like, workability, structural strength, durability and low cost. Ferrocement is an excellent construction system. This paper studies the behavior of ferrocement circular slabs under impact load. The experimental program include testing four sime fixed supported ferrocement circular slabs of 800mm diameter and 50mm thickness. The Influence of the use of styropor voids was investigated in different ratios (24% and 48%) and a number of wire mesh layers four and six layers. Impact load test results revealed that increasing number of wire mesh from 4 to 6 led to an increase in the impact energy for first crack by (41.991% ,37.62%) respectively when using voids ratio by (24% and 48%) respectively and impact energy for full perforation by (21.7% and 9.94%) respectively when using voids ratio by (24% and 48%) respectively. Ferrocement circular slabs are used in construction fields such as roofs, tanks, manholes, etc.

The Impact

Liquid crystalline polymers have the advantage of achieving desirable mechanical properties at a competitive cost. They are composed of molecular chains that are highly oriented and tightly packed at temperatures above and below its melting point. This high degree of orientation has the following advantages: ease of processing, high mechanical strength at extreme temperatures, and resistance to mostly all chemicals, weathering, radiation, and burning. On the other hand, this high degree of orientation causes liquid crystalline polymers to have low impact strength as well as an uneven amount of shrinkage prior to molding. The objective of this study is to determine the effects of injection-molding parameters on the impact behavior of liquid crystalline polymers, in an attempt to improve and understand the processing of the material. The conditions to be tested are as follows: fill speed, initial mold temperature, and packing pressure. The impact tester used for this research was an Instron Dynatup tester. Based on the data, it is apparent that fill speed is the greatest determining factor for optimizing the impact energy of the injection-molded liquid crystalline polymers followed by high packing pressure. In addition, even though the nature of the impact energy curves for LCPs and materials such as Delrin are similar, the impact load curves as a function of time are significantly different. This can be attributed to the layered structure of LCP samples.

Tempering Time

The effect of tempering time on the microstructure and mechanical properties of SA738 Gr.B nuclear power steel was studied using SEM, TEM and thermodynamic software, and its precipitation and microstructure evolution during tempering were clarified. The results showed that SA738 Gr.B nuclear power steel has better comprehensive mechanical properties after tempering at 650 °C for 1h. With the extension of the tempering time, M3C transformed into M23C6 with increasing size, which affected the yield strength and impact energy. When the tempering time is 8h ~ 10h, due to the transformation of M3C to M23C6, the composition of matrix around the carbide changed, causing the temperature of Ac1 dropped, forming twin-martensite which deteriorated the impact toughness of the steel.

The Impact

The pounding tuned mass damper (PTMD) is a novel vibration control device that can effectively mitigate the undesired vibration of subsea pipeline structures. Previous studies have verified that the PTMD is more effective and robust compared to the traditional tuned mass damper. However, the PTMD relies on a viscoelastic delimiter to dissipate energy through impact. The viscoelastic material can be corroded by the various chemical substances dissolved in the seawater, which means that there can be possible deterioration in its mechanical property and damping ability when it is exposed to seawater. Therefore, we aim to conduct an experimental study on the impact behavior and energy dissipation of the viscoelastic material submerged in seawater in this present paper. An experimental apparatus, which can generate and measure lateral impact, is designed and fabricated. A batch of viscoelastic tapes are submerged in seawater and samples will be taken out for impact tests every month. Pounding stiffness, hysteresis loops and energy dissipated per impact cycle are employed to characterize the impact behavior of the viscoelastic material. The experimental results suggest that the seawater has little influence on the behavior of the viscoelastic tapes. Even after continuous submersion in seawater for 5 years, the pounding stiffness and energy dissipation remains at the same level.

In high-speed gear drive and power transmission, system impact failure mode always occurs due to the sudden impact and shock loading during the system in running. Therefore, study on the amount of impact energy that can be absorbed by a gear is vital. Impact test equipment has been designed and modelled for the purpose to study the impact energy on gear tooth. This paper mainly focused on Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of impact energy that occurred during simulation involving the impact test equipment modelling. The simulation was conducted using Abaqus software on critical parts of the test equipment to simulate the impact event and generate impact data for analysis. The load cell in the model was assumed to be free fall at a certain height which gives impact load to the test gear. Three different type of material for the test gear were set up in this simulation. Results from the simulation show that each material possesses different impact energy characteristic. Impact energy values increased along with the height of load drop. AISI 1040 were found to be the toughest material at 3.0m drop that could withstand up to 44.87N.m of impact energy. These data will be used to validate data in physical experiments in further study.

Impact behaviors of Aluminum Honeycombs Sandwich Panel (AHSP) by drop weight test were investigated in this study. Two types of specimens with l/2" and l/4" cell size were tested by two impactors with the weight of 5.25kgf and 11.9kgf respectively. Transient, contact and elastic-plastic analyses were performed by finite element method. Impact behavior of AHSP about impact sites appeared nearly the same in low impact energy, but it was different in high impact energy. Face was the strongest about impact and short-edge was the weakest. The damaged area of AHSP was enlarged with the increase of impactor weight that is corresponding to impact energy. After 3-point bending test, fracture modes of AHSP were analyzed with AE counts, lower face sheet was fractured in the long-edge direction first, and then separation between face sheet and core happened. In the short-edge direction after core wrinkled, lower face sheet was torn, impact behavior by FE analysis were increased localized damage in high velocity because the faster velocity of the impact was, the smaller the stress of core was. Consequently, impactor weight had an effect on widely damaged area, while the impact velocity gave rise to localized damaged area.

This paper studies the impact performance of concrete filled FRP-steel tube which is a composed structure made by filling concrete into steel tube and wrapping outside with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) sheet. Numerical simulations have been conducted to study the dynamic response of fixed-pined supported beams of concrete filled FRP-steel tubes. The finite element models of concrete filled FRP-steel tubes are established to analyse its lateral impact dynamic characteristics under different loading situations, with respective kinds of FRP and thicknesses of steel tubes. The impact force and displacement histories were recorded. Comparing to the traditional concrete filled steel tube structure, the concrete filled FRP-steel tube indicates a promising structure with more advantages in the mechanical and constructional performance. Especially with its higher loading-carrying capacity and better toughness, it is more adaptable for the structures subjected to accidental impact load. Analytical solution is compared with experimental result to show the correctness and the effectiveness of present study.
