An aluminum (1050 H14) multi-layer corrugated structure composed of brazed 16 trapezoidal zig-zig fin layers was direct impact tested above the critical velocities for shock formation using a modified Split Hopkinson ...

Al-foam filled and empty tubes of aluminum, brass and titanium were compression tested laterally. The specific energy absorption in filled tubes increased greatly in terms of percentages, and was greatest in aluminum tubes. ...

The main objective of this study was to measure the fracture toughness of the human teeth enamel using the microindentation technique and to compare the results calculated from the equations developed for Palmqvist and ...

The quasi-static and high strain rate compression behavior of an Al closed cell foam was examined in detail. The compression flow stress of the foam was a function of the relative density but exhibits little or no strain ...

Studies of the crushing behavior of closed-cell, aluminum foam-filled aluminum and steel tubes have shown an interaction effect between tubewall and foam filler [1, 2, 3]. The crushing loads of foam-filled tubes are, ...

The impact responses of brazed and adhesively bonded layered 1050 H14 trapezoidal corrugated aluminum core and aluminum sheet interlayer sandwich panels with 3003 and 1050 H14 aluminum alloy face sheets were investigated ...

Analytical solutions for dynamic deformation of foam materials during the Taylor cylinder–Hopkinson bar impact experiment were obtained. It was shown that shock wave of foam collapse appears during the fast impact. The ...

The crushing of single- and double-layer zig-zag trapezoidal corrugated core sandwiches was investigated experimentally and numerically at quasi-static and dynamic rates. The buckling stress of sandwiches increased when ...
