The Impact

To study the impact resistance of the stainless steel reinforced concrete after reinforced with CFRP (Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic), the multifunction ultra-high heavy drop hammer test system was adopted to conduct multiple horizontal impact test research on three stainless steel reinforced concrete piers before and after they are reinforced. The test results showed that with equal impact energy, the maximum impact force of the stainless steel reinforced concrete piers was larger than that of the stainless steel reinforced concrete piers that were reinforced with CFRP, while after the concrete piers were reinforced, the peak displacement of the piers was obviously smaller than that before they were reinforced and the residual deformation also became smaller, which improved the flexural rigidity of the section. And the local anti-damage capacity can be improved so as to lengthen the life of structures by reinforcing the stainless steel reinforced concrete pier with carbon fiber.

The Impact

Horizontal impact tests of stainless steel–reinforced concrete piers with different reinforcement ratios at different impact velocities were carried out by using the ultra-high drop weight impact test system. Degree of piers damage after impact was comprehensively analyzed by measuring the acceleration of the impact body, the displacement of the top of the pier specimens, the strain of the steel bars, the rotation of the pier bottom, and the crack development of concrete. The test results showed that under the same impact velocity, with the decrease in reinforcement ratio, the peak acceleration of the impact body, the displacement of the top of pier specimens, the strain of steel bars, and the pier bottom rotation all increase. To a certain extent, increasing the reinforcement ratio of bridge piers can effectively reduce impact damage.

The Impact

In this study, an ultrahigh drop hammer impact test system was adopted for multiple horizontal impact tests on stainless steel-reinforced concrete columns and ordinary-reinforced concrete columns with the same longitudinal reinforcement diameter. The damage performance after impact was studied, and the finite element model was established. The test measured the impact force, displacement, cracking of the specimen during the impact, and the concrete damage near the bottom of the specimen. The test results showed that the failure mode of the stainless steel-reinforced concrete specimen under multiple impacts was the same as that of the ordinary reinforced concrete specimen. Under the same impact conditions, the maximum impact force, the maximum displacement, and the damage degree of stainless steel-reinforced concrete column specimen were lower than those of the ordinary reinforced concrete specimen.

The Impact

Samples of a spacecraft primary external wall structure, as used in a low earth orbit remote sensing platform, have been tested to determine the response to the hypervelocity impact and ballistic limit (for mm-sized impactors) of the 47 mm thick structure at 5 km/s. A strong dependence of the ballistic limit on projectile density was identified. This programme was carried out using the two-stage light gas gun at the University of Kent at Canterbury. The equivalent diameters of the front and rear holes for each impact were analysed as a function of the impactor parameters. Damage equations derived by other experimenters were compared to the experimental results. X-ray non-destructive testing was used to determine the level of internal honeycomb damage for a sample. The dependence of the witness plate damage (placed behind the target to capture any ejecta from the rear surface) on the impactor parameters was recorded. It was found that the use of ‘equivalent thicknesses’ of aluminium may not be appropriate as a general conversion factor for carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) facesheets. A simple damage equation is presented, based on the total hole size as a function of the impact energy. The ballistic limit cannot be defined solely in terms of impact energy and shows an additional dependence with projectile density. The amount and type of ejecta produced is a strong function of density and a less strong function of projectile diameter, and its production cannot be linked with the rear hole diameter.

The Impact

The reinforced concrete structure of a port wharf is affected by steel corrosion and ship docking impact. Replacing an ordinary steel bar with a stainless steel bar can solve the corrosion problem of the steel bar while ensuring the bearing capacity of the structure. However, the research on impact resistance of stainless steel-reinforced concrete structure is not perfect. In this paper, impact mechanical properties of reinforced concrete beams before and after equal strength replacement of stainless steel bars are analyzed by theoretical analysis and drop hammer impact test, and the possibility and applicable scope of equal strength replacement of stainless steel bars are put forward. The results indicated the following: (1) when the reinforcement ratios were small (0.21% to 1.32%), the stainless steel-reinforced concrete beams with equal strength were able to effectively reduce the stiffness losses of the beams undergoing impact loads, as well as improve the elastic resilience abilities, and reduce the structural damages. Therefore, the corrosion and impact problems of reinforcements could be solved by replacing ordinary reinforcements with stainless steel reinforcements and (2) when the reinforcement ratios were large (1.32% to 2.57%), the shear failures of the stainless steel-reinforced concrete beams were observed to be relatively serious, and the impact resistance performances had worsened. The research results provide technical support for the engineering application of stainless steel-reinforced concrete structure design.

The Impact

In this work, the behaviour of thermoplastic composites and Shape Memory Alloy Hybrid Composites (SMAHCs) for aeronautical applications is analysed and compared by means of findings from numerical analyses and experimental tests. At first, experimental tests are performed by using a drop tower facility on both carbon fibre reinforced plastic samples and Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) samples hybridized with shape memory alloy materials. The materials properties and the different lower velocity impacts behaviours are simulated and validated by means of numerical models discretized in LS-Dyna explicit solver. For both configurations, the deformation mechanism for low intensity impacts, the absorbed energy, and the effect of rebounding upon the velocity change, and hence the amount of force, are investigated. Then, a configuration is prepared to withstand higher-energy impacts. Finally, the numerical analysis is extended for an innovative layup adapted on an aeronautical structure, which is subjected to the bird-strike phenomenon at 180 m/s and with an impacting mass of 1.8 kg according to the airworthiness requirements. In this study, SMAHCs are used to improve the composite impact response and energy absorption thanks to the superelastic effect.
