The Impact

This study is based on the finite element investigation of the response of mild steel and Armox 500 T steel targets subjected to macro- and micro-size impactor. The simulations were carried out on target against penetrator with varying masses, sizes, shapes and different nature (rigid and deformable projectiles) using ABAQUS/Explicit. The material parameters of Johnson–Cook elasto-viscoplastic model were employed for predicting the behaviour of the target. The impact resistance of mild steel and Armox 500 T steel plates has been studied against flat nose having masses of 4, 8, 13.5, 27, 32 and 64 kg. The influence of temperature has also been studied numerically for particular penetrator. To study the influence of nature of projectile, the simulations were performed on mild steel and Armox 500 T steel targets against deformable 2024 aluminium flat, hardened steel flat and hardened steel conical impactors at 950 and 150 m/s incidence velocities. Also, the simulations were carried out on given target against 7.62 and 12.7 mm armour piercing incendiary ogival nose projectiles. The performance of (4.7 + 4.7 mm) 9.4-mm-thick equivalent mild steel and Armox 500 T steel plate in combination has also been studied against 7.62 armour piercing incendiary ogival nose projectiles at 950 and 150 m/s incidence velocities. The study thus presents a detailed investigation in terms of penetration, perforation and failure mechanism of mild steel and Armox 500 T steel target and leads to some important conclusions pertaining to the force and resistance offered by the target.

Ballistic Ejecta

AbstractThe destruction caused by ballistic ejecta from the phreatic eruptions of Mt. Ontake in 2014 and Mt. Kusatsu-Shirane (Mt. Moto-Shirane) in 2018 in Japan, which resulted in numerous casualties, highlighted the need for better evacuation facilities. In response, some mountain huts were reinforced with aramid fabric to convert them into shelters. However, a number of decisions must be made when working to increase the number of shelters, which depend on the location where they are to be built. In this study, we propose a method of using high-strength steel to reinforce wooden buildings for use as shelters. More specifically, assuming that ballistic ejecta has an impact energy of 9 kJ or more, as in previous studies, we developed a method that utilizes SUS304 and SS400 unprocessed steel plates based on existing impact test data. We found that SUS304 is particularly suitable for use as a reinforcing material because it has excellent impact energy absorption characteristics due to its high ductility as well as excellent corrosion resistance. With the aim of increasing the structural strength of steel shelters, we also conducted an impact test on a shelter fabricated from SS400 deck plates (i.e., steel with improved flexural strength provided by work-hardened trapezoidal corrugated plates). The results show that the shelter could withstand impact with an energy of 13.5 kJ (2.66 kg of simulated ballistic ejecta at 101 m/s on impact). In addition, from the result of the impact test using the roof-simulating structure, it was confirmed the impact absorption energy is further increased when artificial pumice as an additional protective layer is installed on this structure. Observations of the shelter after the impact test show that there is still some allowance for deformation caused by projectile impact, which means that the proposed steel shelter holds promise, not only structurally, but also from the aspects of transportation and assembly. Hence, the usefulness of shelters that use steel was shown experimentally. However, shelter construction should be suitable for the target environment.

Recently, an alternative inverse-analysis approach was proposed to obtain the material parameters of the advanced yield criteria by employing tensile and cup drawing tests [1]. In this paper, the applicability of this strategy will be investigated for a mild steel grade by means of cruciform, plane strain tension and hydraulic bulge tests. Other than this, the impact of the strain rate on the hydraulic bulge tests will be one another aspect of this work.

An experimental study is reported on the ductile deformation and perforation of plates struck at the center by solid cylindrical projectiles having the longitudinal axis normal to the plate surface. The plates, which are made from 4 to 8-mm-thick mild steel sheet, are fully clamped around a circular boundary and are struck by projectiles having blunt ends and traveling with impact velocities within the range 7.7–118.9 m/s. Comparisons are made in Part II with the static perforation behavior and with previously published experimental results and several empirical equations for the impact case. A new empirical equation, which retains the influence of the impact velocity on the perforation energy, is also proposed in Part II.

The Impact

Impact resistance of ceramic/steel composite armour against 7.62 mm AP (armour piercing) projectile is examined analytically, numerically and experimentally. Total armour thickness is taken to be constant. Ceramic tile thickness and steel plate thickness are changed to observe the effect of the variation of the thickness ratio on the impact behaviour of ceramic/steel armour. Results show that the impact behaviour of ceramics is related to the ceramic tile thickness and back plate thickness. It is found that there is an optimum ceramic/steel thickness ratio which provides the best protection against a specified threat for a constant total armour thickness.

The Impact

Experimental results are reported for the perforation of geometrically similar fully clamped circular and square mild steel plates struck transversely by cylindrical projectiles having blunt, conical, and hemispherical noses. The striking masses are much heavier than the corresponding plate mass and travel with initial impact velocities up to about 12m∕s. The blunt projectiles perforate the plating easiest, while the hemispherical-nosed ones require the greatest energy. The perforation energy of a conical-nosed projectile is somewhat less than that for a hemispherical-nosed one. The data are used to explore the validity of the geometrically similar scaling laws over a geometric scale range of 4. The experimental results are compared to the empirical equations for the impact perforation of plates and with theoretical rigid-plastic predictions for the large ductile deformation behavior of those test specimens, which did not suffer cracking or perforation. The experimental results satisfy the requirements of geometrically similar scaling and some simple equations are presented, which are useful for design purposes.

The Impact

In a hot rolling process, excessive friction between rollers and steel plates may lead to the formation of scratches on the steel plate. To reduce scratch formation in the finishing mill of the hot rolling process, two techniques are proposed in this work: flying touch and velocity synchronization. The proposed flying touch method can reduce the impact of the generated force when the upper roller collides with the steel plate. In addition, the proposed velocity synchronization method can decrease the frictional force resulting from the velocity difference between the rollers and steel plate. The effectiveness of the proposed methods was demonstrated through simulations and experiments using a 1/40 downscaled hot rolling simulator. The simulations and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed methods can reduce the magnitudes of friction and impact forces that lead to scratch formation on the steel plates in the hot rolling process.

Working Situation

The test beams were overloaded 20 times repeatedly with different amplitude, and they damaged to different extent to simulate actual cracking. Strengthening the pre-damaged beams with steel plates, working situation of structure strengthened is analyzed. For the test beams strengthened, steel plates and the original structure deform harmoniously, internal force is allocated to the steel plates and the original structure with a certain proportion. In the serviceability limit state, the method of allocation of internal force is studied, and the impact of the overload amplitude, reinforcement ratio on the allocation proportion is analyzed.
