This study investigates the performance of particulate-filled thermoplastic fluoropolymer coatings under both dynamic impact tests and static indentation tests. An instrumented impact testing rig was used to measure the impact energy, impact velocity, acceleration and impact force during the impact tests. Coating samples with different thicknesses of coating layers and steel substrate were impact tested to investigate the effect of coating and substrate thickness on the impact response and damage to the coatings. The data obtained from the dynamic tests were used to calculate the Meyer hardness values of the coating and compared with the Meyer hardness results obtained from Brinell indentation tests on the coating. The Meyer index m was similar under dynamic impact and static indentation testing conditions. The Meyer hardness calculated from the impact tests does not change markedly as a function of depth of penetration normalised to the thickness of coating, whereas the Brinell hardness increases with the depth of penetration to coating thickness ratio. For a given value of indentation strain, the Meyer hardness calculated from the maximum force measured in the impact test is approximately 2.5 times that resulting from the Brinell test. This reflects the fact that the higher strain rate in the impact test would give rise to a higher flow stress and thus hardness.

Coated components used in industry are often exposed to repetitive dynamic impact load. The dynamic impact test is a suitable method for the study of thin protective coatings under such conditions. Aim of this paper is to describe the method of dynamic impact testing and the novel concepts of evaluation of the impact test results, such as the impact resistance and the impact deformation rate. All of the presented results were obtained by testing two W-B-C coatings with different C/W ratio. Different impact test results are discussed with respect to the coatings microstructure, the chemical and phase composition, and the mechanical properties. It is shown that coating adhesion to the HSS substrate played a crucial role in the coatings’ impact lifetime.

The impact specimens with different hydrogen contents were solution treated at 540±3°C for 12h; water quenched at 60-100°C; and aged at 165±1°C for 6h. The impact test was carried out at Roell450 pendulum impact testing machine. The impact test results show that the impact energy has strong relation with the hydrogen content. The total absorption energy increases with the increasing of hydrogen content. The crack propagation energy Avp and present larger proportion than the initial crack energy Avi in the total absorption energy Av. The number of the pinholes increases and the pinholes turn from smaller irregular ones into sub-circular shape ones. The specimen with irregular sub-circular pinholes has larger KI, and has more crack propagation resistance.

Protective hard PVD coatings are used to improve the endurance of the tools exposed to repeated impact load, e.g., fine blanking punches. During the fine blanking process, a coated punch repeatedly impacts sheet metal. Thus, the coating which protects the punch surface is exposed to the dynamic impact load. On the other hand, the laboratory method of dynamic impact testing is well known and used for the development and optimization of protective coatings. This paper is focused on the comparison of tool life and lifetime of the industrial prepared PVD coatings exposed to repeated dynamic impact load in the industrial fine blanking process and the laboratory dynamic impact testing. Three different types of protective coatings were tested and the results were discussed. It was shown that the lifetime of coated specimens in both the fine blanking and the dynamic impact processes was influenced by similar mechanical properties of the protective coatings. The qualitative comparison shows that the lifetime obtained by the dynamic impact test was the same as the lifetime obtained by the industrial fine blanking process. The laboratory impact test appears to be a suitable alternative for the optimisation and development of protective PVD coatings for punches used in the industrial fine blanking process.

In order to reduce hidden damage caused in CFRP by low velocity transverse impact, testing procedures must be established by understanding the impact phenomena and the roles of various parameters on damage initiation and growth. Hence, composite plates were stressed and an original method, “ultrasonic tomography,” was applied to detect delaminations on the interfaces. The results show the similarity of the damage growth resulting from static indentation and low velocity impact.

Each structure is designed with resistance versus the fracture, which requires the knowledge of the fracture resistance of the material. If no fracture mechanics data of the material is available, a KJC can be inferred from the master curve approach. The master curve approach relates a fracture toughness of 100 MPAm1/2 to the impact transition temperature T27J with a shift of 18°C. Although this relationship was successfully applied to a large number of experiments, some steels deviate significantly from the previous relationship, which can even lead to non-conservative design. In the present paper, instrumented impact tests (Charpy V-Notch CVN) and compact tensile (CT) tests were performed on two materials, one thermomechanically (TM-) rolled and one normalized steel. The difference between T0 and T27J was found to be different for these materials. Furthermore, the normalized steel exhibits a smooth transition from brittle to ductile behaviour, while the TM-rolled material shows a very steep transition. Extra information is gained by combining the instrumentation of the impact test and the finite element simulations of both the CT and impact tests. From the instrumented tests, it is also possible to determine the load at unstable crack propagation, the amount of energy dissipated at that moment, the load at crack arrest and the energy dissipated after crack arrest. From the finite element simulation, one learns about the constraints ahead of the crack tip for both configurations. The investigation teaches us that the smooth transition of the normalized material is related to a high energy dissipated after crack arrest, while the TM-rolled material has a much lower crack arrest load. The difference between T0 and T27J is then discussed by decomposing the total energy in the impact test between crack initiation, propagation and arrest. It is compared with KJC, which determines the toughness at unstable crack propagation, by reviewing the literature and local stress states computed from finite element.

A pipeline on the seabed may be struck by moving trawl gear, and that may damage the pipeline. Trenching can be a useful but expensive way to protect the pipeline. Pipe-in-pipe and bundled pipeline systems are widely used in the offshore industry recently because of their high level of thermal insulation and because they lend themselves to rapid and economical installation. However, there is no clearly specified standard method to analyze the overtrawlability of pipe-in-pipe systems. If we apply the same method as for the single wall pipe, it is likely to result in a conservative design for the pipe-in-pipe. The objective of this paper is to investigate the overtrawlability of pipe-in-pipe, especially in the impact phase, and to fill this gap. In this study, the authors demonstrate that a quasi-static analysis can replace a dynamic analysis to some extent because the overall response does not show a big difference. The demonstration is based on both quasi-static indentation tests and impact tests for single wall pipe and pipe-in-pipe, as well as the corresponding finite element (FE) models. The FE models not only help to compare the responses but also offer a way to analyze the overtrawlability of the pipe-in-pipe. The quasi-static FE models are used for a further comparison between a pipe-in-pipe and a 406.4 mm (16 in.) single wall pipe to illustrate the overtrawlability of the pipe-in-pipe.

Cracking of carrot (Daucus carota L.) roots during harvest and handling is a serious problem for the commercial industry, particularly for `cut and peeled' products. Thirty commercial fields of cv. `Sugar Snax' in California were surveyed over the period 2000-03. Soil texture was determined, and soil and crop nutrient status, air temperature and soil moisture were monitored. In 10 fields the effect of excessive N fertilization was investigated; 90-180 kg·ha-1 N was sidedressed in addition to the growers' N regime. At one site a comparison of 10 cultivars was conducted to determine the root cracking sensitivity of commercial cultivars suitable for the cut and peeled market. In all fields roots were hand harvested, with undamaged roots 18-24 mm in diameter selected for study. Roots were cooled to 5 °C and subjected to an impact test to rate cracking sensitivity. Fields varied widely in root cracking sensitivity, with 4% to76% of roots cracked in the impact test. Cracking sensitivity was positively correlated with the % silt and clay in soil, and with air temperature in the final month of growth. Irrigation management had no consistent effect on cracking sensitivity. N application in excess of the growers' N regime did not increase carrot yield, but increased root cracking sensitivity by an average of 30%. Root cracking varied among cultivars from 10% to 49%. However, when the periderm was peeled from roots before impact testing, incidence of cracking declined to 2% or less in all cultivars. Periderm strength or flexibility is apparently the dominant factor in carrot cracking sensitivity, and environmental and management variables that affect cracking sensitivity must do so by affecting the periderm structure.

Taylor impact test is characterized by high impact energy, low cost, and good repeatability, giving it the technical foundation and development potential for application in high-g loading. In this paper, the feasibility of performing high-g load impact testing to a missile-borne recorder by conducting Taylor impact test was studied by combining simulation analyses with experimental verification. Acccording to the actual dimensions of the missile-borne recorder, an experimental piece was designed based on the Taylor impact principle. The impact loading characteristics of the missile-borne recorder were then simulated and analyzed at different impact velocities. In addition, the peak acceleration function and the pulse duration function of the load were fitted to guide the experimental design. A Taylor-Hopkinson impact experiment was also conducted to measure the impact load that was actually experienced by the missile-borne recorder and the results were compared with the results of strain measurements on the Hopkinson incident bar. The results showed that the peak value of impact load, the pulse duration and the waveform of the actual experimental results were in good agreement with the results predicted by the simulations. Additionally, the strain data measured on the incident bar could be used to verify or replace the acceleration testing of the specimen to simplify the experimental process required. Based on the impact velocity, high-g loading impact was achieved with peak values in the 7,000–30,000 g range and durations of 1.3–1 ms, and the waveform generated was a sawtooth wave. The research results provide a new approach for high amplitude and long pulse duration impact loading to large-mass components, and broaden the application field of Taylor impact test.

The automotive and aviation fields require engineering materials that can save and optimise fuel consumption. Unique characteristics of lightweight, higher strength to weight ratio, good corrosion resistance, and good castability are indispensable for castable metal such as Silicon Aluminium (Al-Si). The mechanical properties of Al-Si could be further improved through the addition of Cobalt Oxide (CoO) nanoparticles during the casting process. The importance and purpose of this study were to determine the impact toughness, hardness and fracture morphology of Al-Si metal alloy filled with 0.015 wt.% CoO nanofiller at the various melting temperature of 750 °C, 800 °C and 850 °C. The stir casting method was utilised considering the most appropriate method for mixing nanoparticles powder into the Al-Si matrix. Three test specimens were prepared for each temperature variation. Impact testing using the Charpy method (ASTM E23-56 T) and hardness testing using Rockwell Superficial HR15T and fracture morphology obtained from impact testing fractures were performed accordingly. The impact test results showed that the Al-Si added with 0.015% CoO at 800 °C of melting temperature possessed the highest impact toughness value of 25.111 x 10-3 Joule mm-2 than the other variations. The hardness test results showed that Al-Si added 0.015% CoO with a melting temperature of 850 °C had the highest hardness value of 79.52 HR15T. The fracture morphology of the impact test in all specimens shows uniform brittle fracture characteristics. It is found that the melting temperature during the stir-casting process of Al-Si has played a significant role in influencing the resulted properties of Al-Si filled CoO nanoparticles metal matrix composites. The selection of an accurate melting temperature for the stir casting process will affect the resulted properties of produced metal composites.
