The aluminium foam can be reinforced by compositing high hardness ZrO2 ceramic spheres. On the condition of preparing the precursor composed of the salt particals and ceramic spheres, the sample of composite aluminium foam is parpared by the press casting infiltration process.By the Hopkinson Bar hopkinson bar experiment, the result shows the composite sample holded the better impact performance than the aluminium foam .All of these should establish a basement to promote the deeper study and developmenter of composite foamed material.

A new experimental method is developed to determine the fiber crush strength (SFC) and fiber shear strength (SFS) of composite materials following a punch shear test methodology. The material parameters SFC and SFS are used to model the damage behavior of thick-section composites as described in the LS-Dyna material model MAT_COMPOSITE_DMG_MSC, aka MAT162. The quasi-static experimental methodology is further extended to investigate the rate effect on SFS using a Hopkinson bar direct impact punch shear test method.

The deformation and fracture properties of ice have attracted considerable research interest. The tip shape of an object that comes into contact with the ice may affect the fracture phenomenon of ice, but these mechanisms have not been elucidated. In previous study, we experimentally showed that the shape of the indenter has a significant effect on pure ice deformation and fracture properties by quasi-static indentation testing. In this study, we focus on the impact fracture of pure ice to clarify the effect of strain rate on deformation and fracture phenomena. The impact indentation test was conducted using direct impact Hopkinson bar method, and a spherical indenter with a diameter of 9 mm was attached to the tip of the striking bar. The indentation rate was approximately 2.3 m/s, and the test temperature was approximately -10°C. It was clear that the maximum load of the load–displacement relationship was larger than that of the quasi-static indentation testing. This tendency was qualitatively consistent with the compressive strength of the uniaxial compression testing.

This work implements a direct impact Hopkinson bar, suitable for investigating the evolution of dynamic force equilibrium in low-impedance materials. Polycarbonate as the bar material favours for a long pulse duration of 2.6 ms for an overall length of only 5 m, allowing to compress large specimens to high strains. This setup is applied to polyurethane foams with different densities ranging from 80 - 240 kg/m3. Dynamic compression tests are performed at strain rates of 0.0017, 0.5 and 500 /s on the foams at room temperature. Depending on density, they show a saturation in increase of yield strength at strain rates of 500 /s, or even show a negative strain rate sensitivity for the lowest density. This behaviour is explained by comparing the dynamic force equilibrium to a phenomenon similar to shock in solid materials: For low densities and high rates of strain, homogeneous compression is replaced by a localized collapse front with a jump in stress across the front. Digital image correlation is performed to analyse elastic and plastic compaction waves by means of Lagrange diagrams.

In order to evaluate the impact protection capacity of armor material quantitatively, direct impact testing loaded by modified Hopkinson bar was used to simulate the impaction between penetrator and armor. Protection coefficient k was defined to describe the protective performance. Using the direct impact testing, Ti-6Al-4V specimens with different microstructure and thickness were tested. Results show that k decreases with increased impact velocity and increases with increased thickness of specimen. Under a given loading condition, binary microstructure exhibits the highest k, indicating the best protective performance. Moreover, its k shows the most sensitivity to thickness (mt) and the least sensitivity to impact energy (me), which means that its protective performance can be improved most efficiently by increasing its thickness and it will exhibit good protective performance in a wider impact velocity range. This new method can evaluate the impact protective properties of armor materials efficiently, which may have a broad application prospect.

The article shows that depending on the goals pursued by the federal government and the available interbudgetary tools a different design of infrastructure mortgage is preferable. Three variants of such mortgage in Russia are proposed, each of which is better suited for certain types of projects and uses different forms of subsidies. According to our expert assessment the active use of infrastructure mortgage in Russia can increase the average annual GDP growth rate by 0.5 p. p. on the horizon of 5—7 years. In the long run the growth of infrastructure financing through the use of infrastructure mortgage could increase long-term economic growth by 0.9 p. p., which in 20—30 years can add 20—30% of GDP to the economy. However, the change in the structure of budget expenditures in the absence of an increase in the budget deficit and public debt will cause no direct impact on monetary policy. The increase in the deficit and the build-up of public debt will have a negative effect on inflation expectations, which will require monetary tightening for a longer time to stabilize them.
