Graphene-like nanoribbons (GLNRs) were fabricated (length—20 μm; width—2 μm) and subjected to blast-like pulsed pressure >1.5 GPa (pulse speed ≈1 Mach, impulse duration, ≈µs) to examine the amount of absorption. GLNRs prepared by the chemical vapor deposition technique via controlled biomass combustion were subjected to investigate the structure–property characteristics using microspectroscopic techniques. Following this, GLNRs were employed to high strain rate (HSR) studies with the help of the technique known as split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) to evaluate numerous dynamic parameters. The parameters were extracted from variations in the stress and strain rates. Their analysis provided insight into the damping response of blast energy within GLNRs. By and large, the impact generated modified the microstructure, exhibiting modifications in the number of layers, conjugated loops, and dynamic disorder. Signal processing analysis carried out for incident and transmitted impulse pressure revealed an interaction mechanism of shock wave with GLNR. Details are presented.

In this work a natural fiber composite material, the Guadua Angustifolia Kunth from the family of Bamboo is investigated as a suitable alternative for solutions for impact applications, load-bearing, and other structural applications. Since this type of Bamboo grows faster than wood and requires less water and area to reach maturity and be able to crop, it is a competitive, economically, and environmentally solution when is compared to other construction materials. The Bamboo species of interest is a natural one from Colombia and will be evaluated in flexural behavior and under impact response to understand the material subjected under fast loading. Flexural samples were cut parallel to bamboo axial fibers to obtain the highest impact strength. The flexural tests and scanning electron microscopy characterization were included for microstructure analysis. Additionally, compression at high strain rates was characterized by a split-Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB). Results show flexural strength of about 70 MPa. The impact analysis showed a tough material with very similar values to Charpy notched and dynamic instrumented impact tests.

Abstract The paper presents the results of the analysis of the striker shape impact on the shape of the mechanical elastic wave generated in the Hopkinson bar. The influence of the tensometer amplifier bandwidth on the stress-strain characteristics obtained in this method was analyzed too. For the purposes of analyzing under the computing environment ABAQUS / Explicit the test bench model was created, and then the analysis of the process of dynamic deformation of the specimen with specific mechanical parameters was carried out. Based on those tests, it was found that the geometry of the end of the striker has an effect on the form of the loading wave and the spectral width of the signal of that wave. Reduction of the striker end diameter reduces unwanted oscillations, however, adversely affects the time of strain rate stabilization. It was determined for the assumed test bench configuration that a tensometric measurement system with a bandwidth equal to 50 kHz is sufficient

Drilling and blasting technology is one of the main methods for pressure relief in deep mining. The traditional method for blasting hole blockage with clay stemming has many problems, which include a large volume of transportation, excess loading time, and high labor intensity. An environmentally friendly blast hole plug was designed and developed. This method is cheap, closely blocks the hole, is quickly loaded, and is convenient for transportation. The impact test on the plug was carried out using an improved split Hopkinson pressure bar test system, and the industrial test was carried out in underground tunnel of coal mine. The tests results showed that, compared with clay stemming, the new method proposed in this paper could prolong the action time of the detonation gas, prevent premature detonation gas emissions, reduce the unit consumption of explosives, improve the utilization ratio, reduce the labor intensity of workers, and improve the effect of rock blasting with low cost of rock breaking.

Coefficients and constants of a microstructure-based internal state variable (ISV) plasticity damage model for pure copper have been calibrated and used for damage modeling and simulation. Experimental stress-strain curves obtained from Cu samples at different strain rate and temperature levels provide a benchmark for the calibration work. Instron quasi-static tester and split-Hopkinson pressure bar are used to obtain low-to-high strain rates. Calibration process and techniques are described in this paper. The calibrated material model is used for high-speed impact analysis to predict the impact properties of Cu. In the numerical impact scenario, a 100 mm by 100 mm Cu plate with a thickness of 10 mm will be penetrated by a 50 mm-long Ni rod with a diameter of 10mm. The thickness of 10 mm was selected for the Cu plate so that the Ni-Cu penetration through the thickness can be well observed through the simulations and the effects of the ductility of Cu on its plasticity deformation during the penetration can be displayed. Also, that thickness had been used by some researchers when investigating penetration mechanics of other materials. Therefore the penetration resistance of Cu can be compared to that of other metallic materials based on the simulation results obtained from this study. Through this study, the efficiency of this ISV model in simulating high-speed impact process is verified. Functions and roles of each of material constant in that model are also demonstrated.

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fiber has attracted significant attention for reinforced concrete (RC) structure rehabilitation due to its large rupture strain (LRS; more than 7%) characteristic and recyclability from waste plastic bottles. This study presents a dynamic tensile test of PET fiber bundles performed using a drop-weight impact system. Results showed that the tensile strength and the elastic modulus of the PET fiber bundles increased, whereas the failure strain and the toughness decreased with the increasing strain rate from 1/600 to 160 s−1. In addition, the performance of concrete confined with the PET fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) under impact loading was investigated based on a 75 mm-diameter split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) device and a drop-weight apparatus. For the SHPB test, owing to the large rupture strain property of PET FRP, the PET FRP-confined concrete exhibited significantly better performance under impact loading compared to its counterpart confined with carbon FRPs (CFRPs). During the drop-weight test, the confinement of the PET FRP composites to the concrete columns as external jackets not only improved the peak impact force, but also prolonged the impact process.

AbstractThe failure characteristics of rock subjected to impact disturbance under one-dimensional static axial compression are helpful for studying the problems of pillar instability and rock burst in deep, high geostress surrounding rock under blasting disturbances. Improved split Hopkinson pressure bar equipment was used for one-dimensional dynamic–static combined impact tests of deep-seated dolomite specimens under axial compression levels of 0, 12, 24, and 36 MPa. The experimental results demonstrate that the dolomite specimens exhibit strong brittleness. The dynamic strength always maintains a strong positive correlation with the strain rate when the axial compression is fixed; when the strain rate is close, the dynamic elasticity modulus and peak strength of the specimens first increase and then decrease with the increase in axial compression, and the peak value appears at 24 MPa. The impact resistance of specimens can be enhanced when the axial compression is 12 or 24 MPa, but when it increases to 36 MPa, the damage inside the specimen begins to cause damage to the dynamic rock strength. Prior to the rock macroscopic failure, the axial static load changes the rock structure state, and it can store strain energy or cause irreversible damage.

The strategic concrete structures are often required to resist impact loads arising from the projectile strike, falling weight, blast generated missile etc. The existing structures found deficient in resisting these loads are required to be retrofitted whereas the upcoming structures are required to be designed for expected impact loads. This paper explores the ways of strengthening existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures using externally bonded carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets and improving the impact resistance of concrete by mixing hybrid fibers in its production. The impact response of concrete structures is assessed using experiments involving the impact of projectiles of different nose shapes on slab specimens. The material behavior at high strain rate is established using split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) testing at varying strain rates. Analytical models are developed for predicting penetration depth, scabbing thickness, ballistic limit velocity and ejected mass. The experimental results were also validated through numerical modeling using LS-DYNA.

Under impact load, the dynamic mechanical properties of rock are complex and changeable. The Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) system was used to change the impact load to carry out different strain rate loading tests on granite with different aspect ratios, and to analyze the influence of strain rate and aspect ratio on the dynamic energy consumption of granite crushing. The results show that at an impact velocity of 14 m/s, the granite with an aspect ratio of 1.4 appears to be strip-shaped fragments after being broken; the granite with an aspect ratio of 1.0 uniform square fragments after being broken; the granite with an aspect ratio of 0.6 appears to be a large number of flat fragments after being broken. When the load strain rate of the granite with an aspect ratio of 0.6 increases from 50 s-1 to 150 s-1, the energy-time density index increases significantly; when the load strain rate exceeds 150 s-1, the energy-time density index decreases. When the strain rate of granite with an aspect ratio of 1.0 exceeds 80 s-1, the energy-time density increases significantly. When the strain rate of the granite with an aspect ratio of 1.4 exceeds 60 s-1, the rate of increase of the energy-time density of the rock increases significantly.

Based on the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) test system, dynamic impact tests of coal specimens under different impact pressures were carried out to study the relationship between the impact load and the size of crushed lump coal. Based on the theory of stress wave attenuation, the relationship between the blasting impact load in a single-hole blasting area of a coal seam and the load applied in an impact failure test of a coal specimen in the laboratory was established. According to the characteristics of the fragmentation distribution of the coal specimens destroyed under a laboratory impact load and the requirement of the minimum cost control of coal blasting in an open-pit coal mine, the fragmentation size range was divided into three groups: large-diameter, medium-diameter, and powder particles. Based on this range, the variation rule of the mass percentage of coal fragments with impact pressure was obtained. Established on the evaluation principle of the blasting effect in an open-pit coal mine, a good impact fragmentation effect was obtained. The good pressure range is 0.30 MPa≤P<0.90 MPa.
