In recent times, the haptic actuators have been providing users with tactile feedback via vibration for a realistic experience. The vibration spring must be designed thin and small to use a haptic actuator in a smart device. Therefore, considerable interests have been exhibited with respect to the impact characteristics of these springs. However, these springs have been difficult to analyze due to their small size. In this study, drop impact experiments and analyses were performed to examine the damages of the mechanical spring in a miniature haptic actuator. Finally, an analytical model with high strain rate and damping effects was constructed to analyze the impact characteristics.

As traditional lead-based solders are banned and replaced by lead-free solders, the drop impact reliability is becoming increasingly crucial because there is little understanding of mechanical behaviors of these lead-free solders at high strain rates. In this paper, mechanical properties of one lead-based solder, Sn37Pb, and two lead-free solders, Sn3.5Ag and Sn3.0Ag0.5Cu, were investigated at strain rates that ranged from 600 s−1 to 2200 s−1 by the split Hopkinson pressure and tensile bar technique. At high strain rates, tensile strengths of lead-free solders are about 1.5 times greater than that of the Sn37Pb solder, and also their ductility are significantly greater than that of the Sn37Pb. Based on the experimental data, strain rate dependent Johnson–Cook models for the three solders were derived and employed to predict behaviors of solder joints in a board level electronic package subjected to standard drop impact load. Results indicate that for the drop impact analysis of lead-free solder joints, the strain rate effect must be considered and rate-dependent material models of lead-free solders are indispensable.

ABSTRACTNew forms of carbon-based materials have received great attention, and the developed materials have found many applications in nanotechnology. Interesting novel carbon structures include the carbon peapods, which are comprised of fullerenes encapsulated within carbon nanotubes. Peapod-like nanostructures have been successfully synthesized, and have been used in optical modulation devices, transistors, solar cells, and in other devices. However, the mechanical properties of these structures are not completely elucidated. In this work, we investigated, using fully atomistic molecular dynamics simulations, the deformation of carbon peapods under high-strain rate conditions, which are achieved by shooting the peapods at ultrasonic velocities against a rigid substrate. Our results show that carbon peapods experience large deformation at impact, and undergo multiple fracture pathways, depending primarily on the relative orientation between the peapod and the substrate, and the impact velocity. Observed outcomes include fullerene ejection, carbon nanotube fracture, fullerene, and nanotube coalescence, as well as the formation of amorphous carbon structures.

A study was undertaken on the compressive high strain rate properties and deformation behaviour of Direct Metal Laser-Sintered (DMLS) Ti6Al4V (ELI) parts in two separate forms: as-built (AB) and stress relieved (SR). The high strain rate compression tests were carried out using a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar test system at ambient temperature. The average plastic strain rates attained by the system were 400 s−1 and 700 s−1. Comparative analyses of the performance (flow stresses and fracture strains) of AB and SR specimens were carried out based on the results obtained at these two plastic strain rates. Microstructural analyses were performed to study the failure mechanisms of the deformed specimens and fracture surfaces. Vickers microhardness test values were obtained before and after high strain rate compression testing. The results obtained in both cases showed the strain rate sensitivity of the stress-relieved samples to be higher in comparison to those of as-built ones, at the same value of true strain.

As 3-D printed materials are being embraced by the manufacturing industries, understanding the response mechanism to high strain rate events becomes a concern to meet requirements for a specific application. In order to improve the mechanical performance of a 3-D printed part, it is necessary to quantify the impact of various printing parameters on the mechanical properties. Initial studies have shown that a difference in 3-D printed material is expected due to the effect of manufacturing parameters such as anisotropy relating to printing direction, infill pattern, infill percentage, layer height and orientation of the part being printed. The main focus of the study is to characterize the effect of the previously mentioned printing parameters under quasi-static and high strain rate (100–1000 /s). In this strain rate regime, the most common apparatus used is the Split Hopkinson pressure bar (also known as Kolsky bar). It consists of a cylindrical metallic bar that has a striker, input and output bar. While the specimen is fixated between the input and output bar, the striker bar is accelerated and triggers the incident bar. As a result, an elastic wave is generated which travels towards the specimen/input bar interface, where some part of it is reflected and the rest is transmitted. The Kolsky bar is adjusted by using a hollow transmitter tube and pulse shaper. Due to an impedance mismatch between the samples and bar material, the amplitude of the transmitted pulse is low. Using a hollow transmitter bar increases this amplitude due to area mismatch between the specimen and tube. Using a pulse shaper between the striker and input bar, the rise time of the elastic compressive wave increases and assists in achieving a constant rate of loading. The compressive stress strain curves were obtained under high strain rates to determine the strain rate effect. To measure the response under static testing conditions, a commercial load frame was used. A comprehensive comparison of dynamic compressive response of samples was performed to characterize the effect of printing parameters.

Abstract This paper deals with an innovative integrated hollow (space) E-glass/epoxy core sandwich composite construction that possesses several multi-functional benefits in addition to the providing light-weight and bending stiffness advantages. In comparison to traditional foam and honeycomb cores, the integrated space core provides a means to route wires/rods, embed electronic assemblies, and store fuel and fire-retardant foam, among other conceivable benefits. In the current work the low velocity impact (LVI) response of innovative integrated sandwich core composites was investigated. Three thickness of integrated and functionality-embedded E-glass/epoxy sandwich cores were considered in this study — including 6mm, 9mm and 17 mm. The low-velocity impact results indicated that the hollow and functionality embedded integrated core suffered a localized damage state limited to a system of core members in the vicinity of the impact. Stacking of the core was an effective way of improving functionality and limiting the LVI damage in the sandwich plate. The functionality-embedded cores provided enhanced LVI resistance due to energy additional energy absorption mechanisms. The high strain rate (HSR) impact behavior of these sandwich constructions is also studied using a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) at strain rates ranging from 163 to 653 per second. The damage initiation, progression and failure mechanisms under low velocity and high strain rate impact are investigated through optical and scanning electron microscopy.

The present work investigates the novel impact loading response of two-dimensional graphene oxide (GO) reinforced epoxy nanocomposites at high strain rate. The testing was performed up to 1000[Formula: see text]s[Formula: see text] of high strain rate, where maximum damage occurs during the impact loading conditions. The Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) was used for the impact loading of the composite specimen. The nanofiller material GO was synthesized by chemical oxidation of graphite flakes used as the precurser. Synthesized GO was characterized using FTIR, UV-visible, XRD, Raman Spectroscopy and FE-SEM. Solution mixing method was used to fabricate the nanocomposite samples having uniform dispersion of GO as confirmed from the SEM images. Strain gauges mounted on the SHPB showed regular signal of transmitted wave during high strain rate testing on SHPB, confirming the regular dispersion of both the phases. Results of the transmission signal showed that the solution mixing method was effective in the synthesis of almost defect-free nanocomposite samples. The strength of the nanocomposite improved significantly using 0.5[Formula: see text]wt.% reinforcement of GO in the epoxy matrix at high strain rate loading. The epoxy GO nanocomposite showed a 41% improvement in maximum stress at 815[Formula: see text]s[Formula: see text] strain rate loading.
