This paper investigates rubber composites subjected to impact loading. One of the objectives was to determine the effect of the support system on the impact force value. Another objective was to identify the correlations between the force characteristics of the impact process, i.e., between the impact force and the tensile force. The identified correlations between the impact process characteristics have been subjected to regression analyses, and their outputs were regression models describing the dynamic stress of rubber composites during the testing of their impact resistance. At dynamic loading, the key factor was the support system, which eliminates the force effects of the falling material that damages the rubber composite, in particular a conveyor belt, and may even lead to the loss if its functionality. In real operations, conveyor belts are stressed by the impact of the transported material onto the belt surface at sites where the conveyor is filled or at chutes, and this often results in belt damage. In many cases, such a belt is no longer usable, and significant financial loss is therefore incurred due to the need for replacement of the damaged belt and due to consequent downtimes.

Abstract In this study, a series of in-plane hexagonal honeycombs with different Poisson's ratio induced by topological diversity are studied, considering re-entrant, semi-re-entrant and convex cells, respectively. The crushing strength of honeycomb in terms of Poisson's ratio is firstly presented. In the previous research, we have studied the compression performance of honeycomb with different negative Poisson's ratio. In this study, a comparative study on the local impact resistance of different sandwich panels is conducted by considering a spherical projectile with low to medium impact speed. Some critical criteria (i.e. local indentation profile, global deflection, impact force and energy absorption) are adopted to analyze the impact resistance. Finally, an influential mechanism of Poisson's ratio on the local impact resistance of sandwich panel is studied by considering the variation of core strength and post-impact collapse behavior.

Cases of pipeline damage caused by landslide are common in coastal or mountainous regions, where the design of buried pipelines should be improved in order to reduce the risk of damage or failure. Dynamic responses of large diameter thin wall steel pipes under impact loading were analyzed using a nonlinear contact model of pipe-soil coupling in this paper. Several influence factors were studied, such as the impact velocity of rockfall, buried depth of pipeline, ratio of diameter to thickness and style of soil. The results show that an ellipsoid induces much more impact force than a sphere which has the same volume, and the larger one in volume have greater impact force for two spheres. Dangerous compressive areas of pipeline occupy 1/6 of the whole area, so the pipelines subject to landslide occur local failure. Based on results, some useful suggestions for the design of pipelines in landslide region are given

To investigate their in-plane dynamic response, a rigid plate with mass was given an initial velocity to impact (square) honeycombs in the X1 and X2 directions, respectively. Firstly, the impact model was built and validated. Then, impact resistance capacity research was conducted. Results showed that each honeycomb performed similarly in X1 and X2 directions, and the reentrant honeycomb usually used smaller displacement and time to absorb the same amount of kinetic energy. Thus, it is better for application if these factors were the main concerns. After that, the nominal stress at the proximal and distal ends were discussed under various impact velocities. It is shown that, under impact loading, the reentrant honeycomb generally showed higher initial peak stress as well as lower plateau stress at both proximal and distal ends. In addition, combining these with the deformation process of honeycombs, it was concluded that the formation of the plateau area of the nominal stress curve is related to the crushing displacement of the impact plate as well as the collapse of cells.

Based on experiments and finite element analysis, the impact resistance of metal flexible net was studied, which can provide reference for the application of metal flexible net in rock fall protection. The oblique (30 degrees) impact experiment of metal flexible net was carried out, the corresponding finite element (FE) to the experiment was established, and the FE model was verified by simulation results to the experimental tests from three aspects: the deformation characteristics of metal flexible net, the time history curves of impact force on supporting ropes, and the maximum instantaneous impact force on supporting ropes. The FE models of metal flexible nets with inclination angles of 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, and 75 degrees were established, and the impact resistance of metal flexible nets with different inclination angles was analyzed. The research shows that the metal flexible net with proper inclination can bounce the impact rock fall out of the safe area and prevent rock fall falling on the metal flexible net, thus realizing the self-cleaning function. When the inclination angle of the metal flexible net is 15, 30, and 45 degrees, respectively, the bounce effect after impact is better, the remaining height is improved, the protection width is improved obviously, and the impact force is reduced. Herein, the impact force of rock fall decreases most obviously at 45 degrees inclination, and the protective performance is relatively good.

Reinforced concrete (RC) beams under the impact loading are typically prone to suffer shear failure in the local response phase. In order to enhance the understanding of the mechanical behavior of the RC beams, their dynamic response and shear demand are numerically investigated in this paper. A 3D finite-element model is developed and validated against the experimental data available in the literature. Taking advantage of the above calibrated numerical model, an intensive parametric study is performed to identify the effect of different factors including the impact velocity, impact mass and beam span-to-depth ratio on the impact response of the RC beams. It is found that, due to the inertial effect, a linear relationship exists between the maximum reverse support force and the peak impact force, while negative bending moments also appear in the shear span. In addition, the local response of the RC beams can be divided into a first impact stage and a separation stage. A shear plug is likely to be formed near the impact point at the first impact stage and a shear failure may be triggered near the support by large support forces. Based on the simulation results, simplified methods are proposed for predicting the shear demand for the two failure modes, whereas physical models are also established to illustrate the resistance mechanism of the RC beams at the peak impact force. By comparing with the results of the parametric study, it is concluded that the shear demand of the RC beams under the impact loading can be predicted by the proposed empirical formulas with reasonable accuracy.

A multiple impact loading experiment was designed to investigate the cracking behavior in the transitional regions of laser-clad iron base alloy on an electrolytic low titanium aluminium alloys under multiple impact loading in this study. The concept of TCR (transitional crack ratio) was introduced to evaluate the crack resistance of the transitional regions to multiple impact loading (impact resistance). Results showed that the substrate temperature during laser cladding process and the scanning velocity have significant influences on the microstructure of the transitional regions and then the impact resistances of the laser-clad iron alloy coating. The laser-clad iron base alloy coatings obtained at the substrate temperature within 275 ~ 320°C displayed the best impact resistance. Furthermore, the crack mechanism in the transitional regions was analyzed.

Measurements of the dynamic load of conveyor belts of identical strengths were used to evaluate and compare the data for belts with and without a support system. The goal was to identify the effects of the support system in terms of a relative amount of impact energy absorbed by a conveyor belt. A dynamic model was designed based on selected parameters of the impact process. Damage to conveyor belts, caused by the absorption of impact energy, was evaluated using the applied methods of mathematical statistics.

In order to prevent rockfall caused by open-pit blasting on the high and steep slope and ensure that the passive protective net structure has sufficient impact resistance, the mechanism of blasting flyrock causing rockfall is analyzed by using ANSYS/AUTODYN to establish the model of rockfall and passive protective net; at the same time, the influences of protective net size, rockfall kinetic energy, and rockfall size to the protective effect were also studied. The results show that under the condition of the same rockfall kinetic energy and rockfall size, the larger the size of the protective net, the longer the buffer time, and the impact force that net can sustain is greater; by assuming the protective net size and rockfall size to be a constant, the greater the rockfall kinetic energy, the less the interaction time between rock and net, and the greater the impulse force that net can suffer; similarly, by keeping the protective net size and the kinetic energy of rockfall to be a constant, it is found that the larger the size of the rockfall, the larger the interaction area and longer interaction time with the net, and the less net will be disrupted; the protective net used in the mine can intercept the rockfall caused by flyrock in blasting process effectively and ensure the safety of villager at the foot of the mountain.

Reinforced concrete (RC) slab is an important component in civil construction and protection engineering, and its dynamic response under impact loading is a complex mechanical problem, especially for two or multiple continuous impact loads. In this paper, a series of drop hammer impact tests were carried out to investigate the dynamic response of RC slabs with two successive impacts. The time history of impact force and the failure characteristic of the slab surface were recorded. Moreover, four influence factors, including slab thickness, reinforcement ratio, impact location, and drop hammer height have been discussed. Besides, a 3D numerical model based on the finite element method (FEM) was established to expand the research of constrained force, deflection, and vertical stress of an RC slab. The results show that increasing the slab thickness and reinforcement ratio can improve the impact resistance of an RC slab. The impact point location and drop hammer height have a great influence on the dynamic response of the RC slab. In addition, the RC slab will have more obvious damage under the second impact, but the dynamic response becomes weaker. It may be because of the local damage in the concrete caused by the first impact that would weaken the propagation of vibration.
