Annealed Glass

Bulk metallic glasses are excellent candidate materials for integral armor because of their high strength and large elastic strain. Also, annealed glasses exhibit higher yield strengths than their fully amorphous counterparts. Therefore, the dynamic behavior of an annealed bulk metallic glass, Zr41.25Ti13.75Ni10Cu12.5Be22.5, was investigated in this study. A Split-Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) was employed to determine the stress-strain response at strain rates varying from 500/s-2000/s for the annealed glass. Also, a high-speed camera was utilized to obtain in-situ video of the specimen during the deformation process. These results were then compared to similar tests on the fully amorphous material. Finally, a new specimen design and experimental setup was proposed to promote accurate measurements from SHPB tests. During dynamic loading, the strain to failure increased as the strain-rate was increased, and the changes in strain-rate produced a larger effect than that of the annealing treatment on the failure strain. Maximum stresses were generally higher for the annealed glass, although there was some scatter. Finally, while an instability formed a dominant shear band for the as-received material, extensive fragmentation characterized the deformation after formation of an initial crack.

The combined experimental and theoretical approach was applied to the study of high-speed deformation and fracture of the 1810 stainless steel. The material tests were performed using a split Hopkinson pressure bar to determine dynamic stress-strain curves, strain rate histories, plastic properties and fracture in the strain rate range of 102 ÷ 104 s-1. A scheme has been realized for obtaining a direct tensile load in the SHPB, using a tubular striker and a gas gun of a simple design. The parameters of the Johnson-Cook material model were identified using the experimental results obtained. Using a series of verification experiments under various types of stress-strain state, the degree of reliability of the identified mathematical model of the behavior of the material studied was determined.

The results of dynamic compression and tensile-splitting tests of concrete reinforced by randomly distributed short non – metallic fibres are presented. A Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar combined with a high-speed photographic system, was used to conduct dynamic Brazilian tests. Quasi static test show that the reinforcement of concrete by the non-metallic fibres leads to the improvement of mechanical properties at quasi static loading. This phenomenon was not observed at the high strain rate loading .Some explanation of this result is briefly outlined.

Dynamic compressive stress-strain curves at various strain rates of an Ethylene-Propylene-Diene Monomer Copolymer (EPDM) rubber have been determined with a modified split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB). The use of a pulse-shaping technique ensures that the specimen deforms at a nearly constant strain rate under dynamically equilibrated stress. The validity of the experiments was monitored by a high-speed digital camera for specimen edge deformation, and by piezoelectric force transducers for dynamic stress equilibrium. The resulting dynamic stress-strain curves for the EPDM indicate that the material is sensitive to strain rates and that the strain-rate sensitivity depends on the value of strain. Based on a strain energy function theory, a one-dimensional dynamic constitutive equation for this rubber was modified to describe the high strain-rate experimental results within the ranges of strain and strain rates presented in this paper.

The mechanical behavior of two composites, i.e., CF3031/QY8911 (CQ, hereafter in this paper) and EW100A/BA9916 (EB, hereafter in this paper), under dynamic loadings were carefully studied by using split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) system. The results show that compressive strength of CQ increases with increasing strain-rates, while for EB the compressive strength at strain-rate 1500/s is lower then that at 800/s or 400/s. More interestingly, most of the stress strain curves of both of the two composites are not monotonous but exhibit double-peak shape. To identify this unusual phenominon, a high speed photographic system is introduced. The deformation as well as fracture characteristics of the composites under dynamic loadings were captured. The photoes indicate that two different failure mechanisms work during dynamic fracture process. The first one is axial splitting between the fiber and the matrix and the second one is overall shear. The interficial strength between the fiber and matrix, which is also strain rate dependent, determines the fracture modes and the shape of the stress/strain curves.

High strain-rate compression experiments were performed with a split-Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) at 500–4000/s on cylindrical samples of a Zr-based bulk metallic glass (LM-1) in both the fully amorphous and annealed conditions. The effects of changes to the specimen geometry (i.e., L/D ratio) and the material heat treatment [i.e., annealing versus amorphous (as-received)], on the peak stress, strain-to-failure, and failure behavior were determined with the aid of an in situ video obtained by using a high-speed digital camera in conjunction with the split-Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB). Examination of the in situ video recordings and light optical microscopy showed that the failed samples revealed preferential failure initiating at the sample ends due to stress concentration at the sample-insert interface. A new insert design was developed using transient, elastic-plastic finite-element simulations to reduce the effects of these stress concentrations. SHPB testing, combined with in situ video, subsequently revealed that this new experimental configuration promoted failure within the gage length and away from the sample ends in the samples tested. Significant effects of specimen geometry, insert design, and annealing on the apparent values of the peak stress, strain-to-failure, and fracture behavior were exhibited.

The high-strain-rate mechanical properties, deformation mechanisms, and fracture characteristics of a bulk metallic glass (BMG)-matrix composite, consisting of an amorphous Zr57Nb5Cu15.4Ni12.6Al10 (LM106) matrix with crystalline tungsten reinforcement particles, were investigated using gas gun anvil-on-rod impact experiments instrumented with velocity interferometry (VISAR) and high-speed digital photography. The time-resolved elastic-plastic wave propagation response obtained through VISAR and the transient deformation states captured with the camera provided information about dynamic strength and deformation modes of the composite. Comparison of experimental measurements with AUTODYN-simulated transient deformation profiles and free surface velocity traces allowed for validation of the pressure-hardening Drucker–Prager model, which was used to describe the deformation response of the composite. The impacted specimens recovered for post-impact microstructural analysis provided further information about the mechanisms of dynamic deformation and fracture characteristics. The overall results from experiments and modeling revealed a strain to failure of ∼45% along the length and ∼7% in area, and the fracture initiation stress was found to decrease with increasing impact velocity because of the negative strain-rate sensitivity of the BMG.

The initiation and propagation of damage in pure ice specimens under high rate compressive loading at the strain rate range of 100 s−1 to 600 s−1 was studied by means of Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar measurements with incorporated high-speed videography. The results indicate that local cracks in specimens can form and propagate before the macroscopic stress maximum is reached. The estimated crack velocity was in the range of 500 m/s to 1300 m/s, i.e., lower than, but in similar order of magnitude as the elastic wave speed within ice. This gives reason to suspect that already at this strain rate the specimen is not deforming under perfect force equilibrium when the first cracks initiate and propagate. In addition, in contrast to quasi-static experiments, in the high rate experiments the specimens showed notable residual load carrying capacity after the maximum stress. This was related to dynamic effects in fractured ice particles, which allowed the specimen to carry compressive load even in a highly damaged state.

In 1993, a new beryllium bearing bulk metallic glass with the nominal composition Zr41.25Ti13.75Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5 was discovered at Caltech. This metallic glass can be cast as cylindrical rods as large as 16 mm in diameter, which permitted specimens to be fabricated with geometries suitable for dynamic testing. For the first time, the dynamic compressive yield behavior of a metallic glass was characterized at strain rates of 102 to 104/s by using the split Hopkinson pressure bar. A high-speed infrared thermal detector was also used to determine if adiabatic heating occurred during dynamic deformation of the metallic glass. From these tests it appears that the yield stress of the metallic glass is insensitive to strain rate and no adiabatic heating occurs before yielding.

Effects Of Stress

Liquidmetal-1 (LM-1, Zr41.25Ti13.75Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5) is a bulk metallic glass that can be processed in large thicknesses (e.g. 10 mm) because of its low critical cooling rate (e.g. 1 K/s). Like other bulk metallic glasses, this material exhibits near theoretical strength and large elastic strains (~2%) under quasi-static loading conditions. In this work, the Split-Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) was employed to perform high strain-rate compression tests on annealed LM-1. An ultrahigh-speed camera was also employed to perform in-situ video of the deformation process of the experiments, and the macroscopic fracture behavior was examined after testing. In addition, a new insert design was developed to reduce the effects of stress concentrations on the specimen. SHPB testing, combined with in-situ video, was performed on as-cast LM-1 using this new experimental configuration to determine the failure modes. The results of these experiments are compared to previous results to understand better the effects of stress concentration on high strain-rate behavior of bulk metallic glass.
