不同撞击速度下穿燃弹侵彻陶瓷/铝合金复合靶板时弹芯破碎失效特性研究

为了研究12.7 mm穿燃弹以不同速度撞击陶瓷/铝合金复合靶板时弹芯的破碎及失效特性,开展了12.7 mm穿燃弹以434.5～844.6 m/s速度撞击SiC陶瓷/6061T6铝合金复合靶板的弹道试验,分析了弹靶的失效模式。弹芯在侵彻靶板后会产生不同尺寸的碎片,使用回收箱收集弹芯碎片并用不同孔径筛网对其进行筛分、称重,得到了不同撞击速度下弹芯碎片的质量分布,并对不同部位的弹芯碎片断口形貌进行了宏观和微观观测分析。研究结果表明:背板失效模式为碟形变形-剪切穿孔-花瓣形失效,试验后的弹芯碎片累积质量分布符合Rosin-Rammler幂率分布规律,且随着着靶速度的增大,小质量碎片质量增加;弹芯在冲击过程中等效直径较大碎片（大于8 mm）失效模式为拉伸脆性断裂,而等效直径小于2 mm的碎片上存在局部塑性剪切断裂。     

A unified criterion for the growth and coalescence of microvoids

A yield criterion is developed which unifies void growth and void coalescence theories. Standard void growth theory assumes that plastic flow is diffuse, if not prevalent everywhere within the matrix of the elementary cell considered. On the other hand, void coalescence theory assumes states of post-localized plasticity whereby plastic flow is restricted to intervoid ligaments. The new theory accommodates both scenarios through some appropriate choice of microscopic velocity fields. An important implication for actual evolution problems is a seamless transition from void growth to void coalescence. This is in contrast with previous hybrid approaches whereby abrupt transitions are associated with the presence of unavoidable corners in the effective yield surface. More generally, the new criterion is applicable to describe yielding in porous metal plasticity for both low and high void volume fractions.     

Dynamic fracture of concrete compact tension specimen: Experimental and numerical study

Compared to quasi-static loading concrete loaded by higher loading rates acts in a different way. There is an influence of strain-rate and inertia on resistance, failure mode and crack pattern. With increase of loading rate failure mode changes from mode-I to mixed mode. Moreover, theoretical and numerical investigations indicate that after the crack reaches critical velocity there is progressive increase of resistance and crack branching. These phenomena have recently been demonstrated and discussed by O?bolt et al. (2011) on numerical study of compact tension specimen (CTS) loaded by different loading rates. The aim of the present paper is to experimentally verify the results obtained numerically. Therefore, the tests and additional numerical studies on CTS are carried out. The experiments fully confirm the results of numerical prediction discussed in O?bolt et al. (2011). The same as in the numerical study it is shown that for strain rates lower than approximately 50/s the structural response is controlled by the rate dependent constitutive law, however, for higher strain rates crack branching and progressive increase of resistance is observed. This is attributed to structural inertia and not the rate dependent strength of concrete. Maximum crack velocity of approximately 800 m/s is measured before initiation of crack branching. The comparison between numerical and experimental results shows that relatively simple modeling approach based on continuum mechanics, rate dependent microplane model and standard finite elements is capable to realistically predict complex phenomena related to dynamic fracture of concrete.
