The Impact

Previously, it has been verified experimentally for durations of impact that the Hertz theory (the quasi-statical theory) holds during impact of spheres without any exception. However, no measurement of duration of impact has been presented for spheres of materials other than metal. This study presents exceptional cases of impacts of spheres during which the Hertz model does not directly hold. By the use of a high-speed camera running at a speed of 5000 frames/s, durations of impact are measured directly for impacts of two solid rubber spheres of the same size and content and impacts of a soft ball (Japanese type-soft tennis ball) on a rigid foundation. As a result, the measured durations of impact in the two impacting cases are found to be decreased as the impact velocity is increased, similar in tendency to durations of impact of elastic metal spheres during which the Hertz theory holds. However, the measured durations of impact are found to be clearly shorter than results calculated according to the Hertz theory, approximately half in the former impacts at high impact velocities, and about 70 percent of the Hertzian results in the latter impacts at almost all impact velocities. Deformation process of the ball impacting on the foundation is also presented to indicate both durations in the compressive process and the restitution one to be shorter than those expected by the Hertz theory. The other results observed on the films are noted to investigate the origin of the great discrepancies between the measured and Hertzian durations (that is, the impacting mechanism of the rubber spheres or the rubber ball packed with air treated here).

An experiment was carried out to investigate the hydraulic performance of an impact sprinkler by using circular and non-circular nozzles. A High-Speed Photography (HSP) technique was employed to extract the breakup process and flow behavior of low-intermediate pressure water jets issued from the different types of orifices. These orifices were selected by the principle of equal flowrate with the same pressure. Moreover, two characteristic lengths: the jet breakup length and the initial amplitude of surface wave were measured. It was found that the sprinkler with circular nozzles produced the largest radius of throw followed by square nozzles and regular triangular nozzles when the cone angle of nozzle and pressure were unchanged, while the sprinkler with regular triangular nozzle had the best variation trend of water distribution and combination uniformity coefficient. Regular triangular jets exhibited a higher degree in breakup and the shortest breakup length compared with the square jets and the circular jets. The initial amplitudes of surface waves of regular triangular jets were larger than the square jets and the circular jets with the same cone angle. Two index equations of jet characteristic lengths and equivalent diameters of both circular and non-circular orifices were fitted with a relative error of less than 10%, which means the fitting formulas were accurate.

The deformation of metal plates and tubes achievable through the use of liquid shock waves generated in a shock tube is studied, with reference to both free-forming and forming the metal into dies, as well as to imprinting detailed features. The process is highly controllable, in terms of the magnitude and duration of the applied pressure pulse. A projectile is fired into a liquid column producing a high-pressure liquid shock wave which impinges on the testpiece. Different projectile materials, driving pressures and impact velocities are used to alter the energy and impulse transmitted. A particular attraction of its use in a laboratory is the application of high-speed photography to the deformation process. Illustration of the application of the facility to slamming studies and to fracture of brittle materials is included. It is concluded that the techniques employed offer a useful and versatile tool for many studies of material deformation.

The Taylor test is used to determine damage evolution in carbon-fibre composites across a range of strain rates. The hierarchy of damage across the scales is key in determining the suite of operating mechanisms and high-speed diagnostics are used to determine states during dynamic loading. Experiments record the test response as a function of the orientation of the cylinder cut from the engineered multi-ply composite with high-speed photography and post-mortem target examination. The ensuing damage occurs during the shock compression phase but three other tensile loading modes operate during the test and these are explored. Experiment has shown that ply orientations respond to two components of release; longitudinal and radial as well as the hoop stresses generated in inelastic flow at the impact surface. The test is a discriminant not only of damage thresholds but of local failure modes and their kinetics. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Multiscale modelling of the structural integrity of composite materials’.

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.

Currently, most of commercial needle-free jet injectors generate the liquid jet by a method called “driving object method” (DOM); however, the reliability and efficiency are still questioned. This paper proposes a new concept of jet generation method, known as “impact driven method” (IDM). A prototype of an IDM jet injector is designed, built, tested, and compared to a commercial device (Cool.click, Tigard, OR). Fundamental characteristics, i.e., the exit jet velocity and impact pressure, are measured. Jet injection processes are visualized both in air and in 20% polyacrylamide by high speed photography. In this study, from the prototype of the IDM jet injector, a maximum jet velocity of 400 m/s and impact peak pressure of 68 MPa can be obtained. It is clear that the IDM jet injector provides a double pulsed liquid jet, which is a major advantage over the commercial jet injector. Because, the first pulse gives a shorter erosion stage, and then, immediately the second pulse follows and provides a better penetration, wider lateral dispersion, and considerably less back splash. Hence, lower pain level and higher delivery efficiency should be achieved. It can be concluded that the IDM concept is highly feasible for implementation in real applications, either for human or animal injection. However, the control and accuracy of IDM still needs to be carefully investigated.

Aiming at the welding arc can act with the magnetic field, has electrical quasi-neutral and electrical conductivity. This paper introduced an adscititious longitudinal magnetic field to control the CO2 welding process and used the Hanover Welding Quality Analyzer to acquire the real-time welding signal. Meanwhile, the short circuit behavior of CO2 welding under the adscititious longitudinal magnetic field, was monitored with the High-speed Photography System. The results show that when the excitation current in an optimal range, the welding current decay and the frequency of short circuit transition is uniform and faster, smaller droplet size and the welding process is more stability than welding without adscititious magnetic field.

AbstractA flowing granular material can behave like a collection of individual interacting grains or like a continuum fluid, depending in large part on the energy imparted to the grains. As yet, however, we have no general understanding of how or under what conditions the fluid limit is reached. Marston, Li & Thoroddsen (J. Fluid Mech., this issue, vol. 704, 2012, pp. 5–36) use high-speed imaging to investigate the ejection of grains from a granular bed due to the impact of a spherical projectile. Their high temporal resolution allows them to study the very fast processes that take place immediately following the impact. They demonstrate that for very fine grains and high impact energies, the dynamics of the ejecta is both qualitatively and quantitatively similar to what is seen in analogous experiments with fluid targets.

The Impact

In the initial stage of liquid-drop impact, the contact region expands faster than the wave speed in the liquid. This causes compressible behaviour in the liquid, and high transient pressures. High-velocity jetting results when the wave motion in the liquid overtakes the expanding contact edge and moves up the free surface of the drop. The detailed pressure fields in this early time history of impact have been calculated by Lesser ( Proc . R . Soc . Lond . 377, 289 (1981)) for both two and three-dimensional liquid masses and for targets of finite admittance. An important result is that the edge pressures exceed the central ‘water-hammer’ pressure 3ρ 0 CU i and at the time of shock-detachment approach ca . 3ρ 0 CU i . At this stage the edge pressures, for both spherical drops and two-dimensional liquid wedges, depend only on the impact velocity and the instantaneous angle between the liquid and solid surfaces. This suggests that the essential features of the early stage of liquid impact can be usefully studied by producing impacts with two-dimensional liquid wedges, and predicted data for pressures, shock angles and velocities are presented. Experiments are described for producing impacts with preformed shapes by using water-gelatine mixtures and observing the impact events with high-speed photography. The results confirm the main features of the model and give information on edge pressures, jetting, cavitation in the liquid and the effect of the admittance of the solid. The relevance of the results to the damage and erosion of materials subjected to liquid impact is discussed. In particular, it is possible to explain the apparently low damage-threshold of some materials, the form of damage and its development with repeated impact. The study highlights the importance of the detailed surface geometry in the region of contact.

The effects of impact timing during the cardiac cycle on the sensitivity of the heart to impact-induced rupture was investigated in an open-chest animal model. Direct mechanical impacts were applied to two adjacent sites on the exposed left ventricular surface at the end of systole or diastole. Impacts at 5 m/s and a contact stroke of 5 cm at the end of systole resulted in no cardiac rupture in seven animals, whereas similar impacts at the end of diastole resulted in six cardiac ruptures. Direct impact at 15 m/s and a contact stroke of 2 cm at the end of either systole or diastole resulted in perforationlike cardiac rupture in all attempts. At low-impact velocity the heart was observed in high-speed movie to bounce away from the impact interface during a systolic impact, but deform around the impactor during a diastolic impact. The heart generally remained motionless during the downward impact stroke at high-impact velocity in either a systolic or diastolic impact. The lower ventricular pressure, reduced muscle stiffness, thinner myocardial wall and larger mass of the filled ventricle probably contributed to a greater sensitivity of the heart to rupture in diastole at low-impact velocity. However, the same factors had no role at high-impact velocity.

AbstractSolid–liquid composites (SLCs) with novel thermal/electronic/mechanical properties imparted by programmable and functional liquid inclusions have attracted considerable research interest in recent years, and are widely used in smart electronics and soft robotics. The feasible application of SLCs requires that they exhibit excellent static physical properties as well as dynamic impact resistance to satisfy complex service conditions, such as drops and impacts. This paper examined the impact resistance of SLCs fabricated by using microfluidic 3D printing. The results of dynamic split-Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) tests showed that the performance of the fabricated SLCs improved in terms of energy dissipation and impact resistance compared with pristine materials. In case of dynamic impact in the strain rates ranging from 100 to $$400\,\hbox {s}^{-1}$$ 400 s - 1 , the SLC specimen deformed without fracture, and its energy dissipation was dominated by the viscosity of the liquid inclusions. For dynamic impact in the strain rates ranging from 500 to $$800\,\hbox {s}^{-1}$$ 800 s - 1 , the SLC specimen fractured and its energy dissipation was determined by the volume fraction of the liquid inclusions. Thus, the energy dissipation of the SLCs could be tuned by regulating the viscosity and volume fraction of the liquid inclusions to satisfy the requirements of protection against different strain rates. Furthermore, the process of fracture of the SLCs under the dynamic SHPB tests was recorded and analyzed by using a high-speed camera. The results showed that distributed liquid inclusions changed the paths of crack propagation to enhance energy dissipation in the SLCs. This study experimentally verified the enhancement in the energy dissipation of SLCs, and provided design strategies for developing multifunctional SLCs with high impact resistance.
