Numerical study of rate-dependent strength behavior under ramp and shock wave loading

The main objective of the current study was to gain a detailed understanding on the rate-dependent strength behavior under ramp and shock wave loading. A forward, numerical-simulation-based cause and effect analysis was used to address the research objective. The apparent strength associated with shock and ramp wave loadings with different risetimes and shapes was investigated. It was shown that intrinsic material strength could vary with pressure, temperature, and deformation history, but the apparent strength, which was larger than the intrinsic strength, was a result of the interaction between the rate sensitivity of the strength and the rate of the external loading. The degree of interaction led to different levels of mechanical and thermal dissipations and their partition, which was manifested by different temperature, stress, and deformation histories.     

Shock enhancement of cellular structures under impact loading: Part II analysis

Numerical simulations of two distinct testing configurations using a Hopkinson bar (pressure bar behind/ahead of the shock front) are performed with an explicit finite element code. It allows us to confirm the observed test data such as velocity and force time histories at the measurement surface. A comparison of the simulated local strain fields during shock front propagation with those measured by image correlation provides an additional proof of the validity of such simulations.Very simple rate insensitive phenomenological constitutive model are used in such simulations. It shows that the shock effect is captured numerically with a basic densification feature. It means that strength enhancement due to shock should not be integrated in the constitutive model of foam-like materials used in industrial FE codes.In order to separate shock enhancement from entire strength enhancement, an improvement of an existing model with easily identifiable parameters for shock enhancement prediction is proposed. For a quick estimate of the shock enhancement level, a simple power law densification model is proposed instead of the classical RPPL model proposed by Reid and co-workers [Tan et al., 2005. Dynamic compressive strength properties of aluminium foams. Part I—experimental data and observations. J. Mech. Phys. Solids 53, 2174-2205]. It is aimed at eliminating the parameter identification uncertainty of the RPPL model. Such an improved model is easily identifiable and gives a good prediction of the shock enhancement level.

超音速目标识别过程中，其产生的N型激波容易与爆炸波混淆在一起，从爆炸波中识别N型激波非常重要。本文提出一种从爆炸波中识别N型激波的技术，通过用5．56mm，7．62mm，12．7mm超音速枪弹做射击试验和TNT炸药爆炸试验，获取N型激波和爆炸波原始数据，进行了特征提取，并采用主成份分析（PCA）方法对特征数据进行压缩处理后，用支持向量机（SVM）方法进行分类识别。结果表明，文中提出的识别方法是可行的和有效的。     

Large eddy simulation of a sheet/cloud cavitation on a NACA0015 hydrofoil

A single fluid model of sheet/cloud cavitation is developed and applied to a NACA0015 hydrofoil. First, a cavity formation model is set up, based on a three-dimensional (3D) non-cavitation model of Navier–Stokes equations with a large eddy simulation (LES) scheme for weakly compressible flows. A fifth-order polynomial curve is adopted to describe the relationship between density coefficient ratio and pressure coefficient when cavitation occurs. The Navier–Stokes equations including cavitation bubble clusters are solved using the finite-volume approach with time-marching scheme, and MacCormack’s explicit-corrector scheme is adopted. Simulations are carried out in a 3D field acting on a hydrofoil NACA0015 at angles of attack 4°, 8° and 20°, with cavitation numbers σ = 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0, Re = 10⁶, and a 360 × 63 × 29 meshing system. We study time-dependent sheet/cloud cavitation structures, caused by the interaction of viscous objects, such as vortices, and cavitation bubbles. At small angles of attack (4°), the sheet cavity is relatively stable just by oscillating in size at the accumulation stage; at 8° it has a tendency to break away from the upper foil section, with the cloud cavitation structure becoming apparent; at 20°, the flow separates fully from the leading edge of the hydrofoil, and the vortex cavitation occurs. Comparisons with other studies, carried out mainly in the context of flow patterns on which prior experiments and simulations were done, demonstrate the power of our model. Overall, it can snapshot the collapse of cloud cavitation, and allow a study of flow patterns and their instabilities, such as “crescent-shaped regions.”

Submerged circular cylindrical shell subjected to two consecutive shock waves: Resonance-like phenomena

A submerged evacuated circular cylindrical shell subjected to a sequence of two external shock waves generated at the same source is considered. A semi-analytical model combining the classical methods of mathematical physics with the finite-difference methodology is developed and employed to simulate the interaction. Both the hydrodynamic and structural aspects of the problem are considered, and it is demonstrated that varying the delay between the first and second wavefronts has a very significant effect on the stress–strain state of the structure. In particular, it is shown that for certain values of the delay, the constructive superposition of the elastic waves travelling around the shell results in a ‘resonance-like’ increase of the structural stress in certain regions. The respective stress can be so high that it sometimes exceeds the overall maximum stress observed in the same structure but subjected to a single-front shock wave with the same parameters, in some cases by as much as 50%. A detailed parametric analysis of the observed phenomenon is carried out, and an easy-to-use diagram summarizing the finding is proposed to aim the pre-design analysis of engineering structures.     

激光对金属铜微孔加工的热力学过程研究

采用纳秒激光脉冲对铜金属进行了打孔实验,对微孔形貌进行了观察并对其热力学过程进行了相应的分析。研究表明,微孔的形貌是由凹坑和周围隆起组成,坑深随着脉冲能量的增加而增加。热力学分析表明,激光辐照金属打孔需要两个基本条件：一是激光脉冲能量的沉积,使金属材料发生熔化、汽化以及电离等相变,使得材料更容易去除;激光等离子体作为二次热源会更有效把激光脉冲能量耦合到金属表面;二是激光等离子体的冲击波效应,这种效应会把发生相变的材料有效及时排出,从而有效形成微孔。     

A study of ambient upstream material properties using perpendicular laser driven radiative blast waves in atomic cluster gases

We report on the characterisation of the upstream medium ahead of a radiative cylindrical blast wave launched in an argon cluster gas with a 1 J, 1 ps, 1054 nm Nd:Glass laser system. By launching two perpendicular blast waves and introducing a time delay between the heating beams it is possible to determine the extent of the cluster medium by observing the high energy absorption region associated with clusters, as apposed to the low energy deposition in monatomic gas. It was found that argon ions launched from the initial laser driven cluster ionisation created a ballistic ion wave which sweeps out ahead of the hydrodynamic blast wave at an initial velocity of 1000 kms⁻¹. This ballistic wave disassembles the clusters ahead of the blast wave into a neutral gas medium before the arrival of a radiative precursor. This observation gives us confidence that the dynamics of a radiative blast wave in cluster based experiments is determined primarily by the properties of an upstream atomic gas, and is not significantly influenced by cluster affects on energy transport or other material properties.
