High strain rate deformation behavior of a continuous fiber reinforced aluminum metal matrix composite
(Elsevier, 2000)
An aluminum metal matrix composite reinforced with continuous unidirectional α-Al2O3 fibers has been compression tested at quasi-static and dynamic strain rates. In the transverse direction, the composite showed increased ...
High strain rate testing of a unidirectionally reinforced graphite epoxy composite
(Kluwer Academic Publishers, 2001-05)
Since accurate, reproducible methods of testing polymer composites are not very well developed or standardized, this research forms part of a program to gain a better understanding of the mechanical properties and failure ...
Effect of strain rate on the compression behavior of a woven glass fiber/SC-15 composite
(Elsevier, 2004)
Strain rate dependent compression behavior of a plain-weave S-2 glass fabric SC-15 epoxy (rubber toughened resin) composite plate, currently studied as the backing plate for composite armor applications, was determined in ...
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 ...
Effect of strain rate on the compressive mechanical behavior of a continuous alumina fiber reinforced ZE41A magnesium alloy based composite
(Elsevier, 2006)
The compressive mechanical response of an FP™ continuous fiber (35 vol.%) Mg composite has been determined in the transverse and longitudinal directions at quasi-static and high strain rates. It was found that the composite ...
Effect of strain rate on the compression behaviour of a woven fabric S2-glass fiber reinforced vinyl ester composite
(Elsevier, 2003)
Quasi-static (~10−3s−1) and high strain rate (>500 s−1) compression behavior of an S2-glass woven fabric/vinyl ester composite plate was determined in the in-plane and through-thickness directions. In both directions, ...
Development of novel multilayer materials for impact applications: A combined numerical and experimental approach
(Elsevier, 2009-05)
A well-verified and validated numerical model was used to investigate stress wave propagation in a multilayer material subjected to impact loading. The baseline material consisted of a ceramic faceplate and composite backing ...
Quasi-static and high strain rate properties of a cross-ply metal matrix composite
(Elsevier, 2009-05)
A series of compression tests has been carried out at quasi-static and high strain rates on cylindrical samples of an alumina fiber/Al-6061 metal matrix composite. The composite plates were prepared with fibers in the 0°, ...
The effects of plastic deformation on stress wave propagation in multi-layer materials
(Elsevier, 2007-11)
The behavior of a multi-layer material at high strain rate and the effect of plastic deformation on stress wave propagation were investigated by a combination of experimental and numerical techniques. Plastic deformation ...
Diatom frustule-filled epoxy: Experimental and numerical study of the quasi-static and high strain rate compression behavior
(Elsevier, 2008)
In this study, centric type diatom frustules obtained from a diatomaceous earth filter material were used as filler in an epoxy resin with a weight percentage of 15% in order to assess the possible effects on the compressive ...
