Experimental testing and full and homogenized numerical models of the low velocity and dynamic deformation of the trapezoidal aluminium corrugated core sandwich
(Wiley Publishing, 2014-06)
The simulations of the low velocity and dynamic deformation of a multi-layer 1050-H14 Al trapezoidal zig-zag corrugated core sandwich were investigated using the homogenized models (solid models) of a single core layer ...
Mechanical properties of hydroxyapatite composites reinforced with hydroxyapatite whiskers
(Trans Tech Publications, 2004)
Sintering and mechanical behavior of pure and hydroxyapatite (HA) whisker reinforced HA composites were investigated in this work. Pure and composite samples were prepared by using a commercial powder and whiskers prepared ...
Quasi-static and dynamic crushing of empty and foam-filled tubes
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2001)
Metallic foam-filled tubes and their empty counterparts have been tested at quasi-static and dynamic strain rates in order to determine their energy absorption capabilities. Data from the Split-Hopkinson Pressure Bar have ...
The optimisation of the energy absorption of partially Al foam-filled commercial 1050H14 and 6061T4 Al crash boxes
(Taylor & Francis, 2011-02)
Partially Alulight and Hydro Al closed-cell foam-filled commercial 1050H14 Al and 6061T4 Al crash boxes were optimised using the response surface methodology in order to maximise specific energy absorption (SEA). The ...
The shape and size effect of the diatom frustule addition on the compression behavior of an epoxy
(Trans Tech Publications, 2018)
The effects of the Achnanthes Taeniata and the diatomaceous earth (diatomite) frustules addition on the compressive strength of an epoxy matrix were investigated experimentally. The Achnanthes Taeniata frustules having ...
High strain-rate compression testing of a short-fiber reinforced aluminum composite
(Elsevier, 1997)
Compression behavior of 15–26 Vf% Saffil™ short-fiber reinforced Al-1.17wt.%Cu alloy metal matrix composites has been determined over a strain-rate range of approximately 10−4 to 2×103 s−1. The strain-rate sensitivity of ...
Quasi-static axial compression behavior of constraint hexagonal and square-packed empty and aluminum foam-filled aluminum multi-tubes
(Elsevier, 2006)
The axial crushing behavior of empty and Al close-cell foam-filled single Al tubes and Al multi-tube designs (hexagonal and square) were investigated through quasi-static compression testing. The effects of foam filling ...
Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar compression testing of an aluminum alloy: Effect of lubricant type
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2003)
The Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB), or Kolsky Bar, is widely used for studying the dynamic mechanical properties of metals and other materials. A cylindrical specimen is sandwiched between the incident and transmitter ...
Experimental and numerical studies on the quasi-static and dynamic crushing responses of multi-layer trapezoidal aluminum corrugated sandwiches
(Elsevier, 2014-05)
The axial crushing responses of bonded and brazed multi-layer 1050 H14 trapezoid alaluminum corru-
gated core (fin) sandwich structures, with and without aluminum interlayer sheets in 0°/0° and 0°/90° core orientations, ...
The increased compression strength of an epoxy resin with the addition of heat-treated natural nano-structured diatom frustules
(SAGE Publications, 2017-05)
Natural diatom frustules composing nanometer size silica particles were heat-treated at temperatures between 600 and 1200℃ for 2 h and used as filler/reinforcing agent (15 wt%) in an epoxy resin. The opal structure of ...
