An improved shielding structure of a bumper that constructed from Ti/Al/Mg density-graded materials was presented. Two types of Ti/Al/Mg density-graded materials with the same areal density were prepared by diffusion bonding and powder metallurgy, respectively. The characteristics of hypervelocity impact including penetration holes in the bumper, damage patterns on the rear wall and micrographs of the crater were investigated. The results show that damage mechanism of Ti/Al/Mg density-graded materials is closely related to the interface bonding strength and matrix strength. The penetration holes of Ti/Al/Mg density-graded material obtained by diffusion bonding exhibit typical ductile characteristics. The Ti/Al/Mg density-graded material prepared by powder metallurgy shows significant mechanical synergistic response under high strain compression and appears fragile characteristic. The shielding performance of Ti/Al/Mg bumper is increased by 20.4% compared with aluminum bumper. A theoretical analysis suggests that a Ti-Al-Mg bumper can fully break the projectile and greatly increase the entropy during the impact process. Larger projectile kinetic energy is converted into the internal energy during the impact process, thereby causing an obvious increase in shielding performance.

The penetration process has attracted increasing attention due to its engineering and scientific value. In this work, we investigate the deformation and damage mechanism about the nanoscale penetration of single-crystal aluminum nanorod with atomistic simulations, where distinct draw ratio (∅) and different incident velocities (up) are considered. The micro deformation processes of no penetration state (within 2 km/s) and complete penetration (above 3 km/s) are both revealed. The high-speed bullet can cause high pressure and temperature at the impacted region, promoting the localized plastic deformation and even solid-liquid phase transformation. It is found that the normalized velocity of nanorod reduces approximately exponentially during penetration (up < 3 km/s), but its residual velocity linearly increased with initial incident velocity. Moreover, the impact crater is also calculated and the corresponding radius is manifested in the linear increase trend with up while inversely proportional to the ∅. Interestingly, the uniform fragmentation is observed instead of the intact spallation, attributed to the relatively thin thickness of the target. It is additionally demonstrated that the number of fragments increases with increasing up and its size distribution shows power law damping nearly. Our findings are expected to provide the atomic insight into the micro penetration phenomena and be helpful to further understand hypervelocity impact related domains.

The present work deals with functionally graded materials (FGM) isotropic plates in the neighborhood of the first-order symmetric zero group velocity (S1-ZGV) point. The mechanical properties of functionally graded material (FGM) are assumed to vary continuously through the thickness of the plate and obey a power law of the volume fraction of the constituents. Governing equations for the problem are derived, and the power series technique (PST) is employed to solve the recursive equations. The impact of the FGM basic materials properties on S1-ZGV frequency of FGM plate is investigated. Numerical results show that S1-ZGV frequency is comparatively more sensitive to the shear modulus. The gradient coefficient p does not affect the linear dependence of ZGV frequency fo as function of cut-off frequency fc; only the slope is slightly varied.

This paper presents detailed theoretical investigation of the first-order symmetric zero group velocity (S1-ZGV) modes propagating in functionally graded material (FGM) plates. Governing equations for the Lamb waves are derived and the power series technique (PST) is employed to solve the recursive equations associated with any power law and its gradient coefficient. The convergence criteria relative to PST have been discussed. Then, the dispersion curves are obtained on the basis of PST. Additionally, the impact of the FGM base materials and the gradient coefficient on S1-ZGV frequency is investigated. Numerical results show that S1-ZGV frequency is comparatively more sensitive to the shear modulus than to the Lamé parameter λ. Additionally, the variations of S1-ZGV frequency as a function of the Poisson ratio of various FGM plates are clarified.

Maximum Spreading

The impact process of a molten metal droplet impinging on a solid substrate surface is encountered in several technological applications such as ink-jet printing, spray cooling, coating processes, spray deposition of metal alloys, thermal spray coatings, manufacturing processes and fabrication and in industrial applications concerning thermal spray processes. Deposition of a molten material or metal in form of a droplet on a substrate surface by propelling it towards it forms the core of the spraying process. During the impact process, the molten metal droplet spreads radially and simultaneously starts losing heat due to heat transfer to the substrate surface. The associated heat transfer influences impingement behavior. The physics of droplet impingement is not only related to the fluid dynamics, but also to the respective interfacial properties of solid and liquid. For most applications, maximum spreading diameter of the splat is considered to be an important factor for droplet impingement on solid surfaces. In the present study, we have developed a model for droplet impingement based on energy conservation principle to predict the maximum spreading radius and the radius as a function of time. Further, we have used the radius as a function of time in the heat transfer equations and to study the evolution of splat-temperature and predict the spreading factor and the spreading time and mathematically correlate them to the spraying parameters and material properties.

The Impact

Effects of sintering temperatures on the microstructure and mechanical performance of SPS M3:2 high speed steel prepared by spark plasma sintering was studied. High speed steel sintering curve of continuous heating from ambient temperature to 1200°C was estimated to analyze the sintering processes and sintering temperature range. The sintering temperature within this range was divided into groups to investigate hardness, relative density and microstructure of M3:2 high-speed steel. Strip and quadrate carbides were observed inside the equiaxed grains. SPS sintering temperature at 900°C can lead to nearly full densification with grain size smaller than 20μm. The hardness and bending strength are higher than that of the conventionally powder metallurgy fabricated ones sintered at 1270°C. However, fracture toughness of the high speed steel is lower than that of the conventional powder metallurgy steels. This can be attributed to the shape and distribution of M6C carbides which reduce the impact toughness of high speed steels.

Paulino and Jin [Paulino, G. H., and Jin, Z.-H., 2001, “Correspondence Principle in Viscoelastic Functionally Graded Materials,” ASME J. Appl. Mech., 68, pp. 129–132], have recently shown that the viscoelastic correspondence principle remains valid for a linearly isotropic viscoelastic functionally graded material with separable relaxation (or creep) functions in space and time. This paper revisits this issue by addressing some subtle points regarding this result and examines the reasons behind the success or failure of the correspondence principle for viscoelastic functionally graded materials. For the inseparable class of nonhomogeneous materials, the correspondence principle fails because of an inconsistency between the replacements of the moduli and of their derivatives. A simple but informative one-dimensional example, involving an exponentially graded material, is used to further clarify these reasons.

In many biological structures, optimized mechanical properties are obtained through complex structural organization involving multiple constituents, functional grading and hierarchical organization. In the case of biological surfaces, the possibility to modify the frictional and adhesive behaviour can also be achieved by exploiting a grading of the material properties. In this paper, we investigate this possibility by considering the frictional sliding of elastic surfaces in the presence of a spatial variation of the Young’s modulus and the local friction coefficients. Using finite-element simulations and a two-dimensional spring-block model, we investigate how graded material properties affect the macroscopic frictional behaviour, in particular, static friction values and the transition from static to dynamic friction. The results suggest that the graded material properties can be exploited to reduce static friction with respect to the corresponding non-graded material and to tune it to desired values, opening possibilities for the design of bio-inspired surfaces with tailor-made tribological properties.

This study compared the ballistic performance of alumina (Al2O3)/ zirconia (ZrO2) functionally graded material (FGM) specimens with various levels of thickness and ZrO2 content and a pure Al2O3 single-layer ceramic composite (PCM). Ballistic tests were conducted with 0.3-inch armor-piercing (AP) projectiles, and finite element code LS-DYNA was used to examine energy absorption, stress distribution, and ceramic cone failure in the specimens. The findings are as follows: First, regarding energy absorption per unit of areal density, the 5% FGMs had the highest ballistic performance, which increased by up to 8%. By contrast, the ballistic performance of the 15% FGMs declined significantly to lower than that of the PCM. Second, the capability of the ceramic cone to withstand stress damage and projectiles was significantly greater in the 5% FGMs than in the 15% FGMs. Third, the wave impedance variations increased with the ZrO2 content in each layer, thereby enhancing the interactions between impact waves and aggravating ceramic damage. Thus, the intensities of transmission and reflection waves in the 15% FGMs increased, thereby causing reductions in its ballistic performance.

To study the hydrodynamic ram effect caused by the debris hypervelocity impact on the satellite tank, a numerical simulation of the spherical debris impacting the satellite tank at the velocity of 7000 m/s was carried out based on ANSYS/LS-DYNA software. The attenuation law of debris velocity, the propagation process of the shock wave and the deformation of the tank walls were investigated. The influences of the liquid-filling ratio, the magnitude, and direction of angular velocity on the hydrodynamic ram effect were analyzed. Results show that the debris velocity decreased rapidly and the residual velocity was 263 m/s when the debris passed through the tank. The shock wave was hemispherical, and the pressure of shock wave was the smallest at the element with an angle of 90° to the impact line. The maximum diameter of the front perforation was larger than that of the back perforation and the bulge height on the front wall was smaller than that on the back wall. With the decrease of the liquid-filling ratio, the diameter of the perforations and bulge height decreased. When the debris impacted the satellite tank with the angular velocity in the x direction, the debris trajectory did not deflect. When the debris impacted the satellite tank with the angular velocities in the y and z direction, the debris trajectory deflected to the negative direction of the z axis and y axis, respectively. The magnitude of the angular velocity affects the residual velocity of debris and the diameter of perforations.
