The Impact

The type of stress pulse produced when a liquid mass strikes a solid at high velocity is first examined. Compressible behaviour, giving rise to a sharp peak of pressure, is found to occur in the initial stages of the impact. The duration of this peak depends on the dimensions and impact velocity of the liquid mass, and also on the compressible wave velocity for the liquid. A comparison is made with pulses produced by solid/solid impact and by the detonation of small quantities of explosive. Both the high-speed liquid impact and the explosive loading give intense pulses of duration only a few microseconds. A solid/solid impact has, by comparison, a much longer impact time of the order of hundreds of microseconds. The fracture of glasses and hard polymers using these three types of loading is described. The development of fracture is followed by high-speed photography. Differences in the modes of fracture are attributed to variations in the shape and duration of the applied stress pulses. Short circumferential fractures produced around the loaded area in liquid impact and explosive loading are shown to be initiated by the Rayleigh surface wave at points where flaws existed. More complex fracture patterns on the front surfaces of plates are due to the reinforcement of the surface wave with components of stress waves reflected from the back surface. A combination of impact loading and etching makes it possible to investigate the distribution and depths of flaws, their role in the fracture process, and the effect which etching has upon them. The observation on the deformation produced in solids by liquid impact has practical significance in the problem of supersonic aircraft flying through rain and in the erosion of turbine blades moving at high velocity through wet steam.

The Impact

Fiber metal laminates have been successfully applied in military aircrafts, armor vehicles and other modern engineering industries as protective structures due to their outstanding impact resistant properties. Prediction of the ballistic performance and investigation on the damage mechanism of the fiber metal laminates under general oblique impact conditions still remain a very challenging issue. In this study, a nonlinear dynamic finite element model in terms of continuum damage mechanics including intra- and inter-layer failure modes is presented. The accuracy of this model is validated with available experimental data. The damage and ballistic performance of two different structural fiber metal laminates subjected to high-velocity oblique impact by rigid hemispherical nose projectile with angles of 0°, 30°, 45° and 60° are studied. The numerical results show that the projectile deflects when the oblique impact occurs and the deflection angle decreases with increasing the impact velocity. The residual velocity of the projectile and the energy absorption of the target are related to the initial impact velocity and impact angle of the projectile. The proposed simulation approach offers a new proper reference for numerical investigations of common oblique impact problems in other fiber metal laminates.
