Title: Weak-shock wave propagation in polymer-based particulate composites

Abstract

Shock waves are common in polymer-based particulate composites that are subjected to intermediate to high-velocity impact loading. However, quantitative information on the spatial variation of stress, particle velocities, and energy dissipation during the formation and propagation of weak-shock waves is limited. In this paper, a systematic experimental study is conducted to understand the characteristics of weak-shocks in polymer-bonded particulate composites. Specimens made of polymer-bonded sugar were subjected to a projectile impact loading, at varying velocities, using a modified Hopkinson pressure bar apparatus. Full-field displacement and strains of the deformed samples were obtained with the help of an ultrahigh-speed imaging and digital image correlation technique. Using the full-field displacement data, the shock wave velocity, shock front thickness, and the full-field stress fields are calculated. From the spatial stress field and the strain rate data, the spatial energy dissipation profile is also estimated. The effect of impact velocity on the spatial stress profile, shock wave velocity, and energy dissipation are discussed.

Effect of Topology on Transient Dynamic and Shock Response of Polymeric Lattice Structures

Journal Article Weeks, J. S. ; Ravichandran, G. - Journal of Dynamic Behavior of Materials

Architected cellular materials, such as lattice structures, offer potential for tunable mechanical properties for dynamic applications of energy absorption and impact mitigation. In this work, the static and dynamic behavior of polymeric lattice structures was investigated through experiments on octet-truss, Kelvin, and cubic topologies with relative densities around 8%. Here, dynamic testing was conducted via direct impact experiments (25–70 m/s) with high-speed imaging coupled with digital image correlation and a polycarbonate Hopkinson pressure bar. Mechanical properties such as elastic wave speed, deformation modes, failure properties, particle velocities, and stress histories were extracted from experimental results. At low impact velocities, amore »« less

Plastic flow in weak shock waves in uranium

Conference Tonks, D L

Measurements of the particle velocity in weak shock waves in metals are available for a number of materials. These measurements use the laser interferometer or VISAR technique in conjunction with a plate impact experiment. These measurements are important for determining the elastic -- plastic behavior of materials at high strain rates. Strain rates up to 10{sup 7}/s are measurable with this technique, while more conventional mechanical testing machines, such as the Hopkinson bar, achieve rates only up to about 10{sup 4}/s. In this paper, the VISAR measurements of Grady on uranium are analyzed using the weak shock analysis of Wallacemore »« less

Measurement and analysis of three 1. 5-GPa shock-wave profiles in copper

Conference Warnes, R H ; Tonks, D L - AIP Conference Proceedings (American Institute of Physics); (United States)

Three wave-profile experiments were performed on OFE fully annealed (600 [degree]C for one hour) copper using a 101.6-mm-diam gas gun at impact velocities of 86 m/s. A symmetric impact produced a 1.5-GPa shock wave in the target. A sapphire window was bonded to the front (non-impact) face of the target, and a four-detector push-pull velocity interferometer (VISAR) measured the velocity of the copper/sapphire interface. The impactor thickness (4 mm) was the same in all experiments; the target thicknesses were 10, 20, and 30 mm.
