Reinforced concrete (RC) slab is an important component in civil construction and protection engineering, and its dynamic response under impact loading is a complex mechanical problem, especially for two or multiple continuous impact loads. In this paper, a series of drop hammer impact tests were carried out to investigate the dynamic response of RC slabs with two successive impacts. The time history of impact force and the failure characteristic of the slab surface were recorded. Moreover, four influence factors, including slab thickness, reinforcement ratio, impact location, and drop hammer height have been discussed. Besides, a 3D numerical model based on the finite element method (FEM) was established to expand the research of constrained force, deflection, and vertical stress of an RC slab. The results show that increasing the slab thickness and reinforcement ratio can improve the impact resistance of an RC slab. The impact point location and drop hammer height have a great influence on the dynamic response of the RC slab. In addition, the RC slab will have more obvious damage under the second impact, but the dynamic response becomes weaker. It may be because of the local damage in the concrete caused by the first impact that would weaken the propagation of vibration.

To investigate their in-plane dynamic response, a rigid plate with mass was given an initial velocity to impact (square) honeycombs in the X1 and X2 directions, respectively. Firstly, the impact model was built and validated. Then, impact resistance capacity research was conducted. Results showed that each honeycomb performed similarly in X1 and X2 directions, and the reentrant honeycomb usually used smaller displacement and time to absorb the same amount of kinetic energy. Thus, it is better for application if these factors were the main concerns. After that, the nominal stress at the proximal and distal ends were discussed under various impact velocities. It is shown that, under impact loading, the reentrant honeycomb generally showed higher initial peak stress as well as lower plateau stress at both proximal and distal ends. In addition, combining these with the deformation process of honeycombs, it was concluded that the formation of the plateau area of the nominal stress curve is related to the crushing displacement of the impact plate as well as the collapse of cells.

AbstractIn this work, extensive reactive molecular dynamics simulations are conducted to analyze the nanopore creation by nanoparticles impact over single-layer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) with 1T and 2H phases. We also compare the results with graphene monolayer. In our simulations, nanosheets are exposed to a spherical rigid carbon projectile with high initial velocities ranging from 2 to 23 km/s. Results for three different structures are compared to examine the most critical factors in the perforation and resistance force during the impact. To analyze the perforation and impact resistance, kinetic energy and displacement time history of the projectile as well as perforation resistance force of the projectile are investigated. Interestingly, although the elasticity module and tensile strength of the graphene are by almost five times higher than those of MoS2, the results demonstrate that 1T and 2H-MoS2 phases are more resistive to the impact loading and perforation than graphene. For the MoS2nanosheets, we realize that the 2H phase is more resistant to impact loading than the 1T counterpart. Our reactive molecular dynamics results highlight that in addition to the strength and toughness, atomic structure is another crucial factor that can contribute substantially to impact resistance of 2D materials. The obtained results can be useful to guide the experimental setups for the nanopore creation in MoS2or other 2D lattices.

This paper aims to provide a numerical model able to represent the behavior of reinforced concrete slabs subjected to impact loads. The nonlinear finite element analysis adopted by ABAQUS/Explicit Software was used in this study. A parametric study was conducted to provide a comprehensive understanding of the behavior of reinforced concrete slabs subjected to impact load. Two parameters were varied amongst the slabs which classified in to two groups. In the first groups, the thickness of slabs is variable, which was equal to (75, 100, 150 mm). In the second group, the thickness of the slab is constant and the variable was the reinforcement ratio, which ranged from (0.58 to 1%), per layer. In dynamic analysis, the load-time history and deflection-time relation were investigated. For the first group, obviously, as the slab thickness increased, the maximum central deflection of the slabs decreased by (48 – 84 %). Also, the impact force of the slabs increased by (40 – 106%) as the thickness of the slab increased by (33 – 100%). For the second group, the maximum central deflection of the slabs decreased by (6.6 – 8.8 %) as the steel reinforcement increased by (0.58 – 1 %). It was observed in the second group that the change in the value of the impact force was very limited. This lead to a fact that the impact force was not affected by the change of the reinforcement ratio, but mainly affected by the change of the slab thickness.

Based on experiments and finite element analysis, the impact resistance of metal flexible net was studied, which can provide reference for the application of metal flexible net in rock fall protection. The oblique (30 degrees) impact experiment of metal flexible net was carried out, the corresponding finite element (FE) to the experiment was established, and the FE model was verified by simulation results to the experimental tests from three aspects: the deformation characteristics of metal flexible net, the time history curves of impact force on supporting ropes, and the maximum instantaneous impact force on supporting ropes. The FE models of metal flexible nets with inclination angles of 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, and 75 degrees were established, and the impact resistance of metal flexible nets with different inclination angles was analyzed. The research shows that the metal flexible net with proper inclination can bounce the impact rock fall out of the safe area and prevent rock fall falling on the metal flexible net, thus realizing the self-cleaning function. When the inclination angle of the metal flexible net is 15, 30, and 45 degrees, respectively, the bounce effect after impact is better, the remaining height is improved, the protection width is improved obviously, and the impact force is reduced. Herein, the impact force of rock fall decreases most obviously at 45 degrees inclination, and the protective performance is relatively good.

Reinforced concrete (RC) beams under the impact loading are typically prone to suffer shear failure in the local response phase. In order to enhance the understanding of the mechanical behavior of the RC beams, their dynamic response and shear demand are numerically investigated in this paper. A 3D finite-element model is developed and validated against the experimental data available in the literature. Taking advantage of the above calibrated numerical model, an intensive parametric study is performed to identify the effect of different factors including the impact velocity, impact mass and beam span-to-depth ratio on the impact response of the RC beams. It is found that, due to the inertial effect, a linear relationship exists between the maximum reverse support force and the peak impact force, while negative bending moments also appear in the shear span. In addition, the local response of the RC beams can be divided into a first impact stage and a separation stage. A shear plug is likely to be formed near the impact point at the first impact stage and a shear failure may be triggered near the support by large support forces. Based on the simulation results, simplified methods are proposed for predicting the shear demand for the two failure modes, whereas physical models are also established to illustrate the resistance mechanism of the RC beams at the peak impact force. By comparing with the results of the parametric study, it is concluded that the shear demand of the RC beams under the impact loading can be predicted by the proposed empirical formulas with reasonable accuracy.

Finite element model of both the single-layer Schwedler reticulated dome with the span of 50m and a Cuboid impactor were developed, incorporating ANSYS/LS-DYNA. PLASTIC_KINEMATIC (MAT_003) material model which takes stain rate into account was used to simulate steel under impact load. The automatic point to surface contact (NODES TO SURFACE) was applied between the dome and impact block. Three stages of time history curve of the impact force on the apex of the single-layer Scheduler reticulated dome including the impact stage, stable stalemate stage, the decaying stage were generalized according to its dynamic response. It must be pointed out that the peak of the impact force of the single-layer reticulated dome increase with the increase of the weight and the velocity of the impact block, but the change of the velocity of the impact block is more sensitive than the change of weight of the impact block for the effect of the peak of the impact force, and a platform value of the impact force of the single-layer reticulated dome change near a certain value, and the duration time of the impact gradually increase. Then four stages of time history curve of the impact displacement were proposed according to the dynamic response of impact on the apex of the single-layer reticulated dome based on numerical analysis. Four stages include in elastic deformation stage, plastic deformation stage, elastic rebound stage, free vibration stage in the position of the residual deformation.

The dynamic response of fluid-filled hemispherical shell in mass impact is studied by experiment using DHR9401. Combining the time history of impact force with experimental observation of the deformation process, it can be seen that the dynamic response can be divided into four stages: the flattening around the impact point, the forming and expanding outward of shell plastic hinge, the plastic edge region flatten by the punch, and elastic recovery. The experimental results show that: Because the shell filled with liquid, the local impact load that the shell suffered is translated into area load and loads on the inner shell uniformly, so that it has a high carrying capacity. Numerical simulation is used to study the time history of energy absorption of different shell structures. The result shows that the crashworthiness of sandwich fluid-filled shell is improved greatly. Under the certain impact energy, deformation of its inner shell is very small, which can provide effective security space.

A multiple impact loading experiment was designed to investigate the cracking behavior in the transitional regions of laser-clad iron base alloy on an electrolytic low titanium aluminium alloys under multiple impact loading in this study. The concept of TCR (transitional crack ratio) was introduced to evaluate the crack resistance of the transitional regions to multiple impact loading (impact resistance). Results showed that the substrate temperature during laser cladding process and the scanning velocity have significant influences on the microstructure of the transitional regions and then the impact resistances of the laser-clad iron alloy coating. The laser-clad iron base alloy coatings obtained at the substrate temperature within 275 ~ 320°C displayed the best impact resistance. Furthermore, the crack mechanism in the transitional regions was analyzed.

Dynamic response analysis is carried out for an aqueduct structure of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project. The interaction of water and aqueduct wall is simplified using Housner method. Six different water depths (empty aqueduct, 1/4 water depth, 1/2 water depth, 3/4 water depth, designed water depth and full water depth) are considered and calculation is conducted using time-history analysis method. The variation rule of dynamic stress and dynamic displacement are gained under different water depths. Results show that water has great influence on aqueduct body and its dynamic response. Dynamic displacement and dynamic stress of the aqueduct structure increase with the aqueduct water level increases. When water depth is bigger, dynamic displacement response and dynamic stress response are later than corresponding earthquake excitation. The relative stiffness of the longitudinal beam and the transverse beam should be fully considered in order to reduce stress concentration of aqueduct body.

Current guidelines such as TM5 and ASCE use a trial and error procedure to design RC slabs against blast loads. Although the trial and error procedure is easy to implement, it may not result in a optimal to resist blast loads. In this study, SDOF system recommended by TM5 and ASCE was adopted to simplify RC slabs; the bilinear model was selected to simulate the resistance-deflection curve for dynamic response analysis. After comparing the areas under the resistance-deflection curves of RC slabs with different reinforcement ratios, the reinforcement ratio responding to the biggest area can be defined as the optimal reinforcement ratio. These derived relationships are useful to facilitate a design with maximum capacities to resist blast loads.
