Strain Behavior

Designing protective systems for the human head—and, hence, the brain—requires understanding the brain’s microstructural response to mechanical insults. We present the behavior of wet and dry porcine brain undergoing quasi-static and high strain rate mechanical deformations to unravel the effect of hydration on the brain’s biomechanics. Here, native ‘wet’ brain samples contained ~80% (mass/mass) water content and ‘dry’ brain samples contained ~0% (mass/mass) water content. First, the wet brain incurred a large initial peak stress that was not exhibited by the dry brain. Second, stress levels for the dry brain were greater than the wet brain. Third, the dry brain stress–strain behavior was characteristic of ductile materials with a yield point and work hardening; however, the wet brain showed a typical concave inflection that is often manifested by polymers. Finally, finite element analysis (FEA) of the brain’s high strain rate response for samples with various proportions of water and dry brain showed that water played a major role in the initial hardening trend. Therefore, hydration level plays a key role in brain tissue micromechanics, and the incorporation of this hydration effect on the brain’s mechanical response in simulated injury scenarios or virtual human-centric protective headgear design is essential.

Crystalline Aggregates

ABSTRACTA dislocation-density based crystalline plasticity, a finite viscoelasticity, and a nonlinear finite-element formulation were used to study the high strain-rate failure of energetic crystalline aggregates. The energetic crystals of RDX (cyclotrimethylene trinitramine) with a polymer binder were subjected to high strain-rate tensile loading, and the predictions indicate that high localized stresses and stress gradients develop due to mismatches along crystalline-crystalline and crystalline-amorphous interfaces. These high-stress interfaces are sites for crack nucleation and propagation, and the predictions are used to show how the cracks nucleate and propagate.

The Impact

The microstructural and mechanical response of materials to shock loading is of the utmost importance in the development of constitutive models for high strain-rate applications. However, unlike a purely mechanical response, to ensure that the microstructure has been generated under conditions of pure one dimensional strain, the target assembly requires both a complex array of momentum traps to prevent lateral releases entering the specimen location from the edges and spall plates to prevent tensile interactions (spall) affecting the microstructure. In this paper, we examine these effects by performing microhardness profiles of shock loaded copper and tantalum samples. In general, variations in hardness both parallel and perpendicular to the shock direction were small indicating successful momentum trapping. Variations in hardness at different locations relative to the impact face are discussed in terms of the initial degree of cold work and the ability to generate and move dislocations in the samples.
