Dynamic Impact Loading

The needs of glass to resist the scratches, drops impact, and bump from everyday use lead to the importance of investigation of the glass fracture under dynamic impact loading. The strength of the glass under dynamic fracture conditions is significantly larger than that under quasi-static loading. There are several theoretic models. In this study, an accumulated damage model is implemented. The relation among the stress, loading rate, contact time and the fracture is investigated. The effect of impact area, impact energy and impact momentum on the glass fracture has been proved to further improve the dynamic fracture criterion of glass. For the experimental studies, the Digital Image Correlation (DIC) method enables one to obtain the first principal strain of the glass during the impact process. Moreover, the FEA model is developed in ANSYS/LS-DYNA™.

Glass Edge

Glass is widely used as cover glass to protect the smartphones, tablets, PCs, and TVs from everyday wear and tear nowadays. There has been an increasing effort to understand the global behavior of glass substrate under impact, but the behavior of the edge for the thin glass has rarely been touched. In this study, the dynamic response of the glass edge when impacted with 1.75-inch steel ball from different heights (different potential energy) and different angles is studied. High-speed camera is applied for the direct visualization of the whole impact process. The Digital Image Correlation (DIC) method enables to obtain displacements (in-plane displacement and out-of-plane displacement) of the glass during the impact process. The failure mode for the edge impact is found to be predominantly buckling. The tape used in this study decreases wave propagation from the impact location. In addition, the FEA model of edge impact test is developed in ANSYS/LS-DYNA™.

The Impact

In the current investigation, numerical study of a thermal jet of asymmetric (rectangular and elliptical) and axisymmetric (circular) geometry was investigated with variable density to verify the impact of the ratio of density and geometry on the generation of entropy. The central jet was brought to different temperatures (194, 293 and 2110 K) to obtain density ratios (0.66, 1 and 7.2) identical to a mixture jet ((Air-CO2), (Air-Air) and (Air-He)), respectively. Solving the three-dimensional numerical resolution of the Navier Stocks for turbulent flow permanent enclosed on the turbulence model K-εstandard was made. The results acquired are compared with that carried out in previous experimental studies, where it was concluded that, the axisymmetric (circular) geometry increases the entropy generation.

The Impact

Response of brittle plate to impact loads has been the subject of many research studies [1–7]. Specifically, glass presents a wide variety of applications in daily life, and helps to protect the displays of smartphones, tablets, PCs, and TVs from everyday wear and tear. Therefore, the necessity of glass to resist scratches, drop impacts, and bumps from everyday use leads to the importance of investigation of the glass response under dynamic impact loading. The ball drop test has been applied in the past, specifying an energy threshold as a prediction metric. Use of energy as the key parameter in impact testing is limited, since it does not account for the time spent in contact during the impact event. This study attempts to establish a reliable metric for impact testing based on a momentum change threshold. The deformation and the strain of the glass will be obtained by the Digital Image Correlation (DIC) system, while the rebound velocity will be measured with the high speed cameras. The global and local measurements are conducted to verify the accuracy of the experimental results. Finally, the FEA model is developed using ANSYS/LS-DYNA to provide a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic response of the glass. Excellent correlation in deflection is obtained between the measurements and predictions.

Micromechanical Damage Model

Dynamic fracture tests are carried out for four groups of hole-containing edge loaded specimens. The crack growth velocity, crack path, and dynamic toughness are extracted from the experiments using high-speed photography and digital image correlation. The importance of the interaction between the in-coming stress wave and the pre-existing hole is revealed and analyzed. A micromechanical damage model is calibrated to the experimental data from two of the specimens' designs and evaluated for its predictive capabilities using the other experimental configurations. The studied model is shown to be in reasonable agreement with the experimental data, and its limits are discussed

Increasingly, patchy prescribed fire of low severity is used by land managers to mitigate wildfire risk, but there are relatively few experimental studies on the effects of low-severity fire on fauna. We used a before–after control–impact experiment to examine avian responses to prescribed fire at two scales in topographically variable, tall-open eucalypt forest in south-east Australia. We surveyed birds at control and impact areas twice before and twice after fire, and applied mixed models to investigate responses of avian turnover, richness and the occurrence of selected species. Approximately half of the impact area was burnt and topographic variation generated a finger-like configuration of burnt patches on ridges and unburnt patches in gullies. Our findings at the smaller scale (0.8 ha) indicated that the fire resulted in increased bird diversity because a patchwork of burnt and unburnt areas provided a mosaic of distinct successional states in which different species occurred. Additionally, we found that the effect of fire on species richness and occurrence was a function of the presence of unburnt topographic refuges. In contrast, we found no compelling evidence to suggest that birds responded to the fire at the larger scale (400 ha). We conclude that application of low-severity fire in a patchy manner enhanced avian diversity and facilitated the persistence of the birds detected in pre-fire surveys. Although the levels of patchiness required to sustain diverse taxa warrant further study, our findings highlight the importance of formally incorporating patchiness into prescribed burning for the ecologically sensitive management of contemporary landscapes.

The hybrid finite-discrete element method Y-2D/3D IDE is applied to model the dynamic fracture of rock specimens with various geometries during impacting a fixed rigid surface. It is found that the modelled primary fractures are highly dependent on the rock geometry determining the weakest plane for a given impact, which agrees well with others' experimental and SPH numerical results. Compared with others' SPH results, Y-2D/3D IDE better simulates the actinomorphic pattern of primary fractures around the impact area and the secondary & tertiary fractures observed in the dynamic fracture experiments. It is concluded that the proposed Y-2D/3D IDE is a valuable tool to model rock dynamic fracture compared with FEM and DEM.

This paper presents an experimental and numerical study of the mechanical behaviour of Alloy 800 tubes with a circumferential crack-like throughwall flaw. The crack-like throughwall flaw was simulated as a slot fabricated by Electron Discharge Machining (EDM). A digital image correlation (DIC) method is employed to measure the distribution of strain and the deformed EDM slot profile during the tension test. A Finite Element Analysis (FEA) model in ANSYS is then developed to predict the mechanical behaviour of Alloy 800 steam generator (SG) tubing in the tension tests. The FEA model with a verified material stress-strain curve and the calibrated failure criterion is applied to simulate the burst test of SG tubing with a circumferential crack-like throughwall flaw. The maximum allowable size for a circumferential throughwall crack is recommended based on FEA simulations.

The corrosion of rebars in reinforced concrete structures impacts their geometry (diameter and ribs) and mass, damages the concrete at the interface between the two materials, deteriorates the bond strength, and causes the cracking of the concrete cover. In the following study, a 2D numerical model of the pull-out test is presented in order to study the impact of corrosion on the bond strength. Several parameters are investigated: the embedment depth, the rebar’s diameter, and the width of the concrete cover. The model reproduces the slip of the rebar and the failure through the splitting of concrete. It integrates an interface between the two materials and a concrete damage model that simulate the deterioration of concrete in compression and tension. The results obtained are validated with experimental data from the literature. Moreover, a parametric study is carried out to determine the impact of the embedment depth, the diameter of the rebar, and the concrete cover on the bond strength. The present study confirms that a greater embedment depth increases the pulling load. The study also confirms that the rebar’s diameter impacts highly the loss of bond between the rebar and the concrete cover. Lastly, the final main result of this paper is that the width of the concrete cover slows the loss of bond strength between the two materials.

The ballistic perforation resistance of 50 mm thick concrete slabs impacted by 20 mm diameter ogive-nose steel projectiles is investigated experimentally and numerically. Three commercially produced concretes with nominal unconfined compressive strengths of 35, 75 and 110 MPa were used to cast material test specimens and slabs. After curing, ballistic impact tests were carried out to determine the ballistic limit curve and velocity for each slab quality. Material tests instrumented with digital image correlation (DIC) were conducted along the ballistic impact tests. DIC measurements were used to establish engineering stress-strain curves for calibration of a modified version of the Holmquist-Johnson-Cook concrete model. Finite element simulations of the impact tests gave good conservative predictions.

Fatigue lifetime assessment is essential in the design of structures. Under-estimated predictions may result in unnecessary in service inspections. Conversely, over-estimated predictions may have serious consequences on the integrity of structures. In some nuclear power plant components, the fatigue loading may be equi-biaxial because of thermal fatigue. So the potential impact of multiaxial loading on the fatigue life of components is a major concern. Meanwhile, few experimental data are available on austenitic stainless steels. It is essential to improve the fatigue assessment methodologies to take into account the potential equi-biaxial fatigue damage. Hence this requires obtaining experimental data on the considered material with a strain tensor in equi-biaxial tension. Two calibration tests (with strain gauges and image correlation) were used to obtain the relationship between the imposed deflection and the radial strain on the FABIME2 specimen. A numerical study has confirmed this relationship. Biaxial fatigue tests are carried out on two austenitic stainless steels for different values of the maximum deflection, and with a load ratio equal to −1. The interpretation of the experimental results requires the use of an appropriate definition of strain equivalent. In nuclear industry, two kinds of definition are used: von Mises and TRESCA strain equivalent. These results have permitted to estimate the impact of the equibiaxiality on the fatigue life of components.
