Drop Weight Test

Fibre-reinforced composite materials are becoming important in many areas of technological application. In addition to the static load, such structures may be stressed with short-term dynamic loads or even dynamic impact loads during their lifespan. Impact loading of structural components produces a complex process, where both the characteristics of the design itself and the material parameters influence the resultant behavior. It is clear that fibre reinforced concrete has a positive impact on increasing of the resistance to impact loads. Results of two different impact load tests carried out on drop-weight test machine are presented in this report.

Fibre-reinforced composite materials are becoming important in many areas of technological application. In addition to the static load, such structures may be stressed with short-term dynamic loads or even dynamic impact loads during their lifespan. Dynamic effects can be significant especially for thin-walled shell structures and barrier constructions. Impact loading of construction components produces a complex process, where both the characteristics of the design itself and the material parameters influence the resultant behavior. It is clear that reinforced concrete with fibers has a positive impact on increasing the resistance to impact loads. Results of impact load tests carried out on drop-weight test machine are presented in this paper. The results are supplemented by compression strength test.

Effects of specimen size and ball size on the breakage throughput under the impact loading are investigated using a drop-weight test machine. Samples are square-shaped building stones ranging 20–60 mm in width and 22–256 g in mass. They include granite, marble, and two types of travertine with the thickness of 15 mm. The impact energies, up to 160 J, are achieved by falling balls in a drop-weight test machine. Several steel balls with the diameter of 60, 84, 96, and 120 mm have been used as an impactor. The ball size is a parameter whose effect on the breakage throughput is investigated here. Results show that the larger specimens have better breakage than the smaller ones at the same specific impact energy. It is also indicated that, at constant specific impact energy, the smaller balls behave more efficiently than the larger balls.

Test Result

Skin laceration injury caused by a penetration of small curvature edge frequently occurs in a domestic accident. An assessment method for this injury is necessary in order to develop a safer manufactured product. To assess the risk of skin laceration injury in a penetration accident, a skin simulant made from silicone rubber was proposed. However, mechanical responses of this skin simulant under dynamic penetration loading have not yet been investigated. In this study, a drop weight penetration test device was developed in order to simulate penetration accidents under impact velocities of over 1 m/s. The device was then used for investigating the dynamic responses of skin simulant against several blades with different tip curvature radii. Load, penetration depth, impulse and energy at rupture were then determined from the test results. Load and penetration depth at rupture increased with the increase of tip curvature radius of the blades. Furthermore, the drop weight test result showed larger response compared to the quasi-static test result which might be caused by the viscous effect and the polymer characteristics such as cross-linking of the skin simulant.
