Dynamic behaviors of closed-cell foam are investigated with cell-based finite element models based on the 3D Voronoi technique. The typical deformation feature of cellular structures under high-velocity impact is layer by layer collapse, like a shock wave propagating in the specimen. The one-dimensional velocity distribution of the structure is calculated to characterize the propagation of shock front and thus the shock wave speed is determined quantitatively. It is found that the shock wave speed has intense dependence on the impact velocity for a specific relative density. The difference between the shock wave speed and the impact velocity is asymptotic to a constant as the impact velocity increases. This constant can be therefore regarded as a dynamic material parameter. The influence of relative density on this dynamic material parameter is investigated. The results show that the shock wave speed at a specific impact velocity increases with the increase of the relative density of cellular structure in a certain extent. An expression of the shock wave speed with respect to the impact velocity and relative density is obtained. The dynamic strain hardening parameter is lower than that in the quasi-static one, which indicates different mechanisms of the deformation under high-velocity and quasi-static loadings.

The compressive behaviors of aluminum foam under impact loading are investigated using FEM simulations. The plastic deformation takes place locally and an enhancement of force occurs at the impact end of the samples. By further investigation, this shock enhancement is found decreasing with relative density, but increasing with impact velocity. We also estimate the shock wave velocity. It is found that shock wave velocity increases significantly with impact velocity, but changes slightly with relative density. It is noted that the influence of the sample length on both the shock enhancement and the shock wave velocity is negligible. Finally, the relations of shock enhancement and shock wave velocity with impact velocity are obtained.

The propagation of layer-wise crushing bands in cellular materials under dynamic impact can be described by the plastic shock wave model. A cell-based finite element model of irregular aluminum honeycomb is constructed to carry out several constant-velocity compression tests. The shock wave speed is obtained by the one-dimensional stress distribution in the specimen along the loading direction. The relation between the shock wave speed and impact velocity is obtained and analyzed. It is found that the relation tends to be linear with the increase of the impact velocity. But the shock wave speed tends to be a constant value with the decrease of the impact velocity. A piecewise model is proposed to describe the dynamic stress-strain relation of aluminum honeycombs based on a piecewise hypothesis of the relation between the shock wave speed and the impact velocity together with the one-dimensional shock wave theory. Different stress-strain relations corresponding to different impact velocity regions and different deformation modes are obtained.

The Impact

Dynamic response of ALPORAS aluminium foam has been investigated experimentally and numerically. The dynamic response is quantified by the force produced as the foam deforms as a function of time. Quasi-static tests are conducted to determine the quasi-static properties of the foam. In the impact test, the aluminium foams are fired towards a rigid load-cell and the force signals developed are recorded. Experimental dynamic stress is also compared with theoretical prediction using existing theory. Finite element model is constructed using LS-DYNA to simulate the impact test. Results from the experiment, finite element analysis and theoretical prediction are in acceptable agreement. Finally, parametric studies have been conducted using the verified model to investigate the effect of impact velocity and relative density towards the dynamic response of the foam projectile. It is found that the dynamic response of the foam is more sensitive towards impact velocity as compare with the foam relative density.

This paper investigates the thermal properties of metallic open-cell and closed-cell foam structures in space filling and non-space filling configurations. In both, i.e. open-cell and closed-cell structures, a linear trend depending on the relative density has been reported. However the closed-cell structures compared to open-cell ones have a higher thermal conductivity for the same relative density.

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.

A delamination of thermal barrier coatings (TBC) applied to turbine blades in gas turbine could be caused by a high-velocity impingement of various foreign objects. It is important to accurately predict the size of interfacial crack for safety operation of gas turbine. In this study, in order to establish a practical equation for prediction of the length of interfacial crack, a high velocity impingement test and a finite element analysis (FEA) based on a cohesive model were conducted. As the result, the length of interfacial crack is linearly increased with the impact velocity. In addition, it was confirmed that it was accurately estimated by the FEA. The equation for prediction of the length of interfacial crack was formulated based on these results and the energy conservation before and after impingement. Finally, the applicability of the equation was demonstrated in a wide range of impact velocity through a comparison with the experimental results.

High-velocity impact of water droplets (0.55 mm diameter) on a heated stainless steel surface was photographed. To achieve high impact velocities, the test surface was mounted on the rim of a rotating flywheel, giving linear velocities of up to 50 m s −1 . Two cartridge heaters were inserted in the substrate and used to vary substrate temperature. A charge coupled device (CCD) video camera was used to photograph droplets impinging on the substrate. To photograph different stages of droplet impact, the ejection of a single droplet was synchronized with the position of the rotating flywheel and triggering of the camera. Substrate temperature was varied from 100 to 240 °C and the impact velocity from 10 to 30 m s −1 . High-resolution photographs were taken of vapour bubbles nucleating sites inside the thin liquid films produced by spreading droplets. An analytical expression was derived for the amount of superheat required for vapour bubble nucleation as a function of the impact velocity. For a given surface roughness, the amount of superheat needed decreased with impact velocity, which agreed with experimental results. For a fixed impact velocity, the maximum extent of droplet spread increased with substrate temperature.

Since 2000, CETIM has been equipped with a High Velocity Press that can deliver up to 5 shots per second with each blow accurately set up (up to 20000J) thanks to the impact velocity regulation (up to 11m.s-1). Through different projects, CETIM and its scientific and industrial partners have evaluated the potential of this new technology in terms of materials and component shape. Various kinds of powder materials were studied: metals, ceramics and polymers. The HVC process was used with success to manufacture gears, large parts and multilevel components. More than, the green machining process that enables shapes to be produced that would otherwise be impossible to compact is improved by the high density of HVC parts and it is also an opportunity to produce components with very hard sintered materials.

AbstractThe purpose of this work is to study the dynamic mechanical response of silicon wafer subjected to low-velocity impact loading. Transient finite element analysis was utilized to obtain the numerical simulated result and was used to check against the experimental findings. Good relationship between each other was observed. A pair of polysilicon microsensors manufactured by the micro-fabrication technique was directly fabricated on the surface of silicon wafer so as to detect the impact induced dynamic strain. A series of low-velocity impact tests utilizing the home-made drop-weight mini-tower tester was conducted. These test results were used to examine the accuracy and adequacy of the current micro strain sensors for stress wave propagation measurements. It is concluded that the difference between the present measured wave speed and the one-dimensional longitudinal wave speed under conditions of plane strain were determined to be within 5.6% for the present low-speed impact problem. A maximum of 10.9% deviation between the test determined elastic modulus and a reference value (16) of 130 GPa was found based on a series of impact test results. In addition, a difference of 2% error was reported when we compared the test detected peak stress value after impact initiated (before wave is reflected from the boundary) and the corresponding numerical simulated response.
