A numerical solution is presented for the case of symmetric impact of two skewed plates, modeled to represent 6061-T6 Aluminum. The main features of the solution are, except near the impact face, the same as in previous solutions based on a rate-independent theory. Free-surface velocity-time profiles are obtained for the target rear surface. These profiles indicate that the fine structure of the normal velocity should be resolvable by means of a laser velocity-interferometer.

The Hopkinson pressure bar is widely used to measure the reflected pressure of blast waves over a short distance. However, dispersion effects will occur when the elastic stress waves propagate in the pressure bar due to lateral inertia, and there will be errors between the signals obtained from the sensors and the actual loading. For the free surface velocity measured in our system, we developed a local phase-amplitude joint correction method to convert the measured velocity into the average reflected pressure of a shock wave at the impact end of the bar, considering factors such as propagation modes of the elastic wave, the frequency components’ time of arrival, velocity variation over the bar axis, and the stress–velocity relationship. Firstly, the Pochhammer–Chree frequency equation is calculated numerically, and the first to fourth orders of phase velocity, group velocity, normalized frequency, and propagation time curves of elastic wave propagation in 35CrMnSiA steel are obtained. Secondly, the phase and amplitude correction formulas for calculating average reflected pressure from center velocity are derived based on the propagation mode of the axial elastic wave in the pressure bar by analyzing the time-frequency combined spectrum obtained by short-time Fourier transform. Thirdly, a local phase-amplitude joint correction algorithm based on propagation mode is proposed in detail. The experimental tests and data analyses are carried out for eight sets of pressure bar. The results show that this method can identify the propagation mode of elastic waves in the bar intuitively and clearly. The first three orders of propagation modes are stimulated in the bar 04, while only the first order of propagation is stimulated in the other eight bars. The local phase-amplitude joint correction algorithm can avoid correcting the component of the non-axial elastic wave. The rising edge of the average stress curve on the impact surface of bar 01 and bar 04 is corrected from 4.13 μs and 4.09 μs to 2.70 μs, respectively.

Normal plate impact recovery experiments have been perfomed on thin plates of ceramics, with and without a back momentum trap, in a one-stage gas gun. The free-surface velocity of the momentum trap was measured, using a normal velocity (or displacement) interferometer. In all recovered samples, cross-shaped cracks were seen to have been formed during the impact, at impact velocities as low as 27 m/s, even though star-shaped flyer plates were used. These cracks appear to be due to in-plane tensile stresses which develop in the sample as a result of the size mismatch between the flyer plate and the specimen (the impacting area of the flyer being smaller than the impacted area of the target) and because of the free-edge effects. Finite element computations, using PRONTO-2D and DYNA-3D, based on linear elasticity, confirm this observation. Based on numerical computations, a simple configuration for plate impact experiments is proposed, which minimizes the inplane tensile stresses allowing recovery experiments at much higher velocities than possible by the star-shaped flyer plate configuration. This is confirmed by normal plate impact recovery experiments which produced no tensile cracks at velocities in a range where the star-shaped flyer invariably introduces cross-shaped cracks in the sample. The new configuration includes lateral as well as longitudinal momentum traps.

This article investigates the performance of an impedance-graded multi-metallic system. Material combinations of steel–titanium, steel–aluminium and steel–titanium–aluminium are compared against a monolithic steel configuration. The experiments were carried out using a single-stage gas gun, where the target specimens consisted of these material configurations. The targets were subjected to the impact of an aluminium flyer at a velocity of 180 m/s, where elastic waves were expected to propagate through the target. The free surface velocity of the final material in the target was measured and these readings were used to quantify the stresses in the materials. These stress results were compared with the output from two-dimensional axisymmetric numerical models and theoretical equations. The findings of this study indicated that a target configuration with gradual impedance reduction could minimize the magnitudes of both compressive and tensile stresses in the materials, where the latter is critical towards preventing debonding in a multi-material system.

AbstractThe present investigation deals with the steady three-dimensional flow and heat transfer of nanofluids due to stretching sheet in the presence of magnetic field and heat source. Three types of water based nanoparticles namely, copper (Cu), aluminium oxide (Al2O3), and titanium dioxide (TiO2) are considered in this study. The temperature dependent variable thermal conductivity and thermal radiation has been introduced in the energy equation. Using suitable similarity transformations the dimensional non-linear expressions are converted into dimensionless system and are then solved numerically by Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg scheme along with well-known shooting technique. The impact of various flow parameters on axial and transverse velocities, temperature, surface frictional coefficients and rate of heat transfer coefficients are visualized both in qualitative and quantitative manners in the vicinity of stretching sheet. The results reviled that the temperature and velocity of the fluid rise with increasing values of variable thermal conductivity parameter. Also, the temperature and normal velocity of the fluid in case of Cu-water nanoparticles is more than that of Al2O3- water nanofluid. On the other hand, the axial velocity of the fluid in case of Al2O3- water nanofluid is more than that of TiO2nanoparticles. In addition, the current outcomes are matched with the previously published consequences and initiate to be a good contract as a limiting sense.

An extension of Martensen's method is described which permits an exact solution of the inverse or blade design problem. An equation is derived for the normal velocity distributed about a given contour when a given tangential velocity is imposed about the contour and from this normal velocity an initial arbitrarily chosen blade shape may be successively modified until a blade is found having a desired surface velocity distribution. Five examples of the method are given.
