The impact energy of a striker was applied on the fixed aluminum foam having a thickness of 25 mm while increasing its impact by 2 J at each strike from 6 J to 16 J. The results show that the impact energies from 6 J to 12 J could not penetrate aluminum foam. However, the aluminum foam applied with the impact energy of 12 J incurred severe damages on its lower part. Finally, the aluminum foam applied with the impact energy of 14 J was penetrated. The striker having the impact energy of 6 J could penetrate aluminum foam around 10 mm. At this moment, aluminum foam could absorb the impact energy of around 9 J. When the impact energy of 14 J was applied on the aluminum foam, the aluminum foam was penetrated and it absorbed the impact energy of around 17.2 J. It is possible to create the safer structure against impact using the results of this work. The simulation results for the verification of the experimental results imply that the results for all the experiments in this work are reliable. It is possible to predict the structural safety of the aluminum foam for an impact if the impact behavior of aluminum foam performed in this work is utilized.展开更多

文摘Continuous carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide(C/SiC)composites are often subjected to low-velocity impacts when utilized as structural materials for thermal protection.However,research on in-plane impact damage and multiple impact damage of C/SiC composites is limited.To investigate the in-plane impact damage behavior of C/SiC composites,a drop-weight impact test method was developed for strip samples,and these results were subsequently compared with those of C/SiC composite plates.Results show that the in-plane impact behavior of C/SiC strip samples is similar to that of C/SiC composite plates.Variation of the impact load with displacement is characterized by three stages:a nearly linear stage,a severe load drop stage,and a rebound stage where displacement occurs after the impact energy exceeds its peak value.Impact damage behavior under single and multiple impacts on 2D plain and 3D needled C/SiC composites was investigated at different impact energies and durations.Crack propagation in C/SiC composites was studied by computerized tomography(CT)technique.In the 2D plain C/SiC composite,load propagation between layers is hindered during impact,leading to delamination and 90°fiber brittle fracture.The crack length perpendicular to the impact direction increases with impact energy increases,resulting in more serious 0°fiber fracture and a larger area of fiber loss.In the 3D needled C/SiC composite,load propagates between the layers during impact through the connection of needled fibers.The fibers continue to provide substantial structural support,with notable instances of fiber pull-off and debonding.Consequently,the impact resistance is superior to that of 2D plain C/SiC composite.When the 3D needled C/SiC composite undergoes two successive impacts of 1.5 J,the energy absorption efficiency of the second impact is significantly lower,accompanied by a smaller impact displacement.Moreover,the total energy absorption efficiency of these two impacts of 1.5 J is lower than that of a single 3.0 J impact.
文摘The increasing presence of drones seen on the battlefields in modern conflicts poses new threats to manned military aircraft or rotorcraft.In order to assess this potential threat,this manuscript first summarizes all confirmed and suspected collisions between drones and aerostructures and the damage resulting from these collisions.Furthermore,this manuscript reviews experimental and numerical investigations on collision of drones with aerostructures.Additionally,some light is shed onto current regulation for drone operations intended to avoid collisions between drones and aircraft.Whilst these regulatory measures can prevent commercial aircraft to collide with drones,the authors believe that there is an inherent threat for civil and military rotorcraft due to their structural design and the fact that it is not possible to completely separate the airspace between drone operations and rotorcraft operations,in particular in the context of rescue missions in an urban or hostile environment.Furthermore,the stealth capability of 5th generation fighters may be compromised by damage suffered from collision with drones.

文摘At present,the surrounding rock of the deep mine roadway is prone to post-peak stress under the action of high stress,and secondary rock burst disaster is prone to occur under complex stress disturbance.According to incomplete statistics,as of 2023,80%of coal mine rock bursts accidents in China occur in mining roadway.In view of this phenomenon,the cyclic impact test of post-peak sandstone is designed,focusing on the post-peak stress state of sandstone,and exploring the post-peak dynamic response of sandstone.The post-peak sandstone specimens were prepared by a uniaxial compressor,and then cyclic impact tests were carried out on the post-peak sandstone under different coaxial pressure conditions by an improved separated Hopkinson equipment.The results show that:1)The number of impact times required for sandstone failure after peak decreased with the increase of axial pressure,indicating that the impact tendency of sandstone after peak decreased under lower axial pressure.On the contrary,the post-peak sandstone had strong impact tendency under higher axial pressure;2)The higher the axial pressure,the lower the dynamic strength of the post-peak sandstone,indicating that the axial pressure promoted the failure process of the post peak sandstone;3)It was a nonlinear evolution of a quadratic polynomial function between the dissipation-energy release rate and axial pressure;4)Shear failure occurred mainly in post-peak impact sandstone with the increased axial pressure,and the composite failure of intergranular failure and transgranular failure changed to single intergranular failure at the microscopic level.The research shows that when the roadway surrounding rock was in the post-peak stress state,reducing the static stress was the key to prevent the secondary ground pressure disaster.The research results provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and control of roadway rock burst disaster under high ground stress environment,and promote the research and exploration of post-peak mechanical properties of coal and rock.
文摘Polymethacrylimide(PMI)foam has the highest specific stiffness and strength among polymer foams,with excellent radar-absorbing capabilities,which provide it with broad prospects in underwater ap-plications.To evaluate the impact resistance of PMI foam sandwich structures,the dynamic response and energy absorption characteristics of PMI foam sandwich structures with different core layers under various water impact loads were investigated using combined experimental and numerical methods.A fluid-structure interaction device with a diffusion angle was used for water impact testing of the PMI foam sandwich structures.The 3D-DIC technique was employed to process the deformation images of the sandwich-structure back panel captured by the high-speed cameras.Numerical simulations were performed to analyze the dynamic deformation process of the PMI foam core.The results indicated that the maximum deformation of the back panel exhibited a nonlinear relationship with the impulse.Below the critical impulse,the maximum deformation of the back panel plateaued,which was determined by the core density.Beyond the critical impulse,the rate of deformation increased with the impulse was governed by the core thickness.Compared with different sandwich panels,PMI foam sandwich struc-tures demonstrate significant advantages in terms of impact resistance under high-impulse conditions.

文摘To investigate the mechanical response during failure and the impact tendency characteristics of gangue-coal combined structure,uniaxial compression tests were conducted on nine groups of combined structures,each with varying gangue thicknesses and positions.The response patterns of compressive strength,elastic modulus,pre-peak accumulated energy,elastic energy index,and impact energy index were systematically analyzed.Furthermore,a new index for evaluating the impact tendency of gangue-containing coal was proposed,and its effectiveness was verified.The findings are as follows:(1)As the gangue thickness increases,both the compressive strength and the pre-peak energy of the combined structure decrease,whereas the elastic modulus increases accordingly.When the gangue is located in the lower middle position,the combined structure exhibits the lowest compressive strength and elastic modulus but the highest pre peak energy.(2)As the gangue shifts toward the middle position of the combined structure,the failure mode gradually transitions from comple te“crushing”failure to an incomplete“point-type”failure.As gangue thickness further increases,the failure region evolves from overall failure to localized failure,with the degree of failure shifting from complete to incomplete.The K_(crc)value corresponding to“crushing”complete failure is higher and has a stronger impact tendency compared to“point-type”incomplete failure.(3)The proposed comprehensive impact instability evaluation index K_(crc)for the gangue-coal combined structure has shown a significant positive correlation with compressive strength(R_(c))and impact energy index(K_(E)),further verifyi ng its rationality in comprehensively assessing the impact tendency of gangue-containing coal bodies.Applying this index to the evaluation of gangue-containing coal seams provides a more accurate reflection of their impact tendency compared with the residual energy index,which has a wide range of potential applications and practical significance.

文摘Composite microcrystals of the nitramines(NAs)viz.,RDX,HMX,BCHMX,and CL-20 with electrically conductive polyaniline(PANi)are a charge transfer complexes in coagglomerated composite crystals(CACs).The activation energies of thermolysis,E_(a),of the pure NAs and their PANi-CACs were determined using the Kissinger method,and decomposition processes are discussed.Except for the RDX/PANi CACs,all the other CACs show higher E_(a) values for decomposition compared to their pure NA counterparts.For all CACs,relationships are specified between the E_(a) values,on the one hand,and the squares of the detonation velocities,enthalpies of formation,spark energy and impact sensitivities,on the other.The relationships between their low-temperature heats of decomposition,ΔH,from DSC,and their enthalpy of formation,logarithm of impact sensitivity,electric spark energy,as well as detonation energy,are described.The PANi favorably influences the density of the corresponding CACs;surprisingly close linear correlations were found,and explained,between these densities and the E_(a) values.This presence of PANi strongly increased the electrical spark sensitivity of the CACs in comparison to the base NAs.Based on the results obtained,it can be noted in particular the exceptional desensitization of HMX to impact and the increased sensitivity to electrical spark by coating its crystals with polyaniline.
文摘The pressure and temperature increase resulting from the impact of different threats onto target materials is analyzed with a unified laboratory-scale setup.This allows deriving qualitative information on the occurring phenomenology as well as quantitative statements about the relative effects sizes as a function of target material and threat.The considered target materials are steel,aluminum,and magnesium.As threats,kinetic energy penetrator,explosively formed projectile,and shaped charge jet are used.For the investigated combinations,the measured overpressures vary by a factor of up to 5 for a variation of the material,by a factor of up to 7 for a variation of the threat,and by a factor larger than 15for a simultaneous variation of both.The obtained results as well as the experimental approach are relevant for the basic understanding of impact effects and risks due to material reactivity.The paper combines two main aims.Firstly,to provide a summary of own prior work in a coherent journal article and,secondly,to review and discuss these earlier results with a new perspective.
文摘Despite numerous research investigations to understand the influences of various structural parameters,to the authors'knowledge,no research has been the effect of different angles of incidence on stab response and performance of different types of protective textiles.Three distinct structures of 3D woven textiles and 2D plain weave fabric made with similar high-performance fiber and areal density were designed and manufactured to be tested.Two samples,one composed of a single and the other of 4-panel layers,from each fabric type structure,were prepared,and tested against stabbing at[0○],[22.5○],and[45○]angle of incidence.A new stabbing experimental setup that entertained testing of the specimens at various angles of incidence was engineered and utilized.The stabbing bench is also equipped with magnetic sensors and a UK Home Office Scientific Development Branch(HOSDB)/P1/B sharpness engineered knives to measure the impact velocity and exerted impact energy respectively.A silicon compound was utilized to imprint the Back Face Signature(BFS)on the backing material after every specimen test.Each silicon print was then scanned,digitized,and precisely measured to evaluate the stab response and performance of the specimen based on different performance variables,including Depth of Trauma(DOT),Depth of Penetration(DOP),and Length of Penetration(LOP).Besides,the post-impact surface failure modes of the fabrics were also measured using Image software and analyzed at the microscale level.The results show stab angle of incidence greatly influences the stab response and performance of protective textiles.The outcome of the study could provide not only valuable insights into understanding the stab response and capabilities of protective textiles under different angle of incidence,but also provide valuable information for protective textile manufacturer,armor developer and stab testing and standardizing organizations to consider the angle of incidence while developing,testing,optimizing,and using protective textiles in various applications.

文摘Investigating the influence of radiation on glass fibre composites is essential for their use in space and aerospace environment.Gaining insight into the damage mechanisms caused by gamma irradiation,can improve the safety and resilience of structures.This paper is aimed at investigating the failure mode and damage of gamma-irradiated repurposed pultruded glass fibre-reinforced polyester subjected to lowvelocity impact using three types of non-destructive techniques.Three sets of differently layered configurations(CRC,WCRW,W2CR2C)consisting of chopped(c),roving(r),and weaved(w)fibre-reinforced polyester are applied in this study.Drop hammer test is applied to evaluate the low-impact resistance properties of Gamma-irradiated composite at 100 kGy,500 kGy,and 1000 kGy.Preliminary flexural and hardness tests are conducted to further assess the behaviour of irradiated polymer composites.Further,the damage modes associated with the low-impact test are characterised using infrared thermography,flat panel digital radiography,and microscope observation.The results show that the composites irradiated with various doses display good impact resistance at 20 J,presenting minor damages in the form of dents on the surface.The irradiated CRC and WCRW display best impact resistance at 500 kGy,while W2CR2C at 1000 kGy.This shows that the layering sequence of reinforcement fibre can influence the impact resistance of irradiated composites.Apart from that,the application of non-destructive techniques show different damage mechanisms in the form resin cracks,yarn splitting/fracture,and matrix splitting when the composites are exposed at high and low irradiation doses.These findings offer valuable data for the defence industry,particularly in the areas of repair,maintenance,and the development of new materials.
