Experimental and numerical study on the blast performance of the corrugated double steel plate concrete composite wallboard under blast loads

The corrugated double steel plate concrete composite wallboard (CDSCW) exhibits superior axial compressive load-bearing capacity, lateral flexural stiffness, impact resistance, and seismic performance compared to the traditional reinforced concrete wallboard and plane double steel plate concrete composite wallboard (PDSCW). Therefore, it has great potential application in offshore engineering and military engineering. This study designs and fabricates two types of CDSCW specimens. Firstly, a comparative analysis is conducted to examine the damage patterns and dynamic responses of the two specimens under near-field explosion experiments. Secondly, the damage mechanisms and explosion response of CDSCW and PDSCW subjected to close-in explosions are numerically investigated by using ANSYS/LS-DYNA, and the results are then compared with experimental findings. Parameter analysis is performed to assess the influence of concrete thickness, steel plate thickness, and explosive charge on the blast resistance of CDSCWs. Furthermore, a nonlinear resistance equation and an equivalent single degree of freedom (ESDOF) theoretical model for simply supported beams is established to predict the dynamic response of CDSCWs under near-blast loads. This theoretical model considers the constitutive model of bilinear materials and the effect of plastic hinges. The reliability of the proposed theoretical model is verified by comparing the residual deflection of CDSCWs obtained from explosion tests with validated numerical simulation results. The results demonstrate that the CDSCWs, with the same concrete and component dimensions (length, width), exhibit greater flexural stiffness and superior energy dissipation capacity subjected to close-in explosion. Moreover, their blast resistance significantly surpasses that of PDSCWs. In particular, an increase in corrugation depth effectively improves the blast resistance of CDSCWs. The dynamic response equations, based on the established elastic-plastic model and primarily considering bending deformation of the components, precisely predict the dynamic response of simply supported CDSCWs under near-blast loads. consequently, these findings can provide a robust foundation for further research and the design of blast-resistant structures.

Impact resistance of assembled plate-lattice auxetic structures

Auxetic materials are attracting increasing interest due to their extraordinary or even abnormal mechanical properties. Different from the traditional truss-lattice structures, this paper proposes a series of novel auxetic plate-lattice structures with an excellent auxetic effect. Utilizing a dual-materials glue-free assembly design involving hyperelastic and plastic materials, these plate-lattices exhibit numerous advantages such as disassembly, assembly, replacement, recyclability, reusability, excellent energy absorption, high specific stiffness, and impact resistance performances. Quasi-static/dynamic tests and simulations are conducted to assess mechanical properties, including elastic constants, deformation modes, and mechanical responses. Simultaneously, the effect of the principal geometric parameter, concave angle, on the structural response was analyzed with various impact velocities. Findings suggest that the concave angle influences the structural elastic constants under compressive loading. The stress–strain response exhibits a distinct dual-plateau phenomenon. Taking the A65 (concave angle is 65°) configuration as an example, the stress on the second plateau is approximately 2.7 times that of the first plateau, significantly enhancing the structure's energy absorption capability. Under dynamic impact loadings, different configurations and varying impact velocities affect the structure's energy absorption performance. This paper introduces a series of assemblable plate-lattice structures with an auxetic effect, offering design insights and guidance tailored to the convenient transportation, unconventional structures, and rapid assembly needs of lightweight, impact-resistant mechanical metamaterials.

Ballistic impact resistance and flexural performance of natural basalt fiber with carbon and glass fibers in inter‐ply hybrid composites

AbstractThe ballistic and flexural behaviors of basalt (natural fabric), carbon, glass fiber, and their hybrid composites, were investigated in this study. The main objective of the paper was the addition of natural basalt fiber to the carbon and glass fibers with inter‐ply hybrid sequences to search for possible usage to the ballistic loads carrying structures. The composite and hybrid composite plates produced nine layers with cross‐ply stacking sequences ([0/90]9). The ballistic impact tests were conducted using a specially designed ballistic test setup and the flexural tests were performed through the standard three‐point bending test. The results showed that basalt/epoxy absorbed the most energy under ballistic loading among all models. It was observed that the basalt‐glass‐basalt/epoxy (BGB) hybrid composite had an energy absorption capacity very close to the basalt/epoxy composite. When BGB and carbon‐glass‐carbon/epoxy (CGC) hybrid models were compared, the energy absorption capacity of CGC was 62.7% less than BGB. Unlike the ballistic test result, basalt/epoxy had the lowest flexural strength, while carbon/epoxy had the highest flexural strength. Among the hybrid models, it was seen that BGB had the lowest flexural strength, while CGC had the highest flexural strength. The flexural strength of the CGC is 38% higher than BGB. The study found that basalt fiber has high ballistic resistance, whether alone or when combined with commonly used fibers. It also suggests that basalt fiber is a promising candidate for future research and development in the field of protective materials.Highlights Basalt (natural fabric) composite materials behavior.

Mechanically Adaptive Polymers Constructed from Dynamic Coordination Equilibria.

Designing materials capable of adapting their mechanical properties in response to external stimuli is the key to preventing failure and extending their service life. However, existing mechanically adaptive polymers are hindered by limitations such as inadequate load-bearing capacity, difficulty in achieving reversible changes, high cost, and a lack of multiple responsiveness. Herein, we address these challenges using dynamic coordination bonds. A new type of mechanically adaptive material with both rate- and temperature-responsiveness was developed. Owing to the stimuli-responsiveness of the coordination equilibria, the prepared polymers, PBMBD-Fe and PBMBD-Co, exhibit mechanically adaptive properties, including temperature-sensitive strength modulation and rate-dependent impact hardening. Benefitting from the dynamic nature of the coordination bonds, the polymers exhibited impressive energy dissipation, damping capacity (loss factors of 1.15 and 2.09 at 1.0 Hz), self-healing, and 3D printing abilities, offering durable and customizable impact resistance and protective performance. The development of impact-resistant materials with comprehensive properties has potential applications in the sustainable and intelligent protection fields.

Influence of key design variables on dynamic material properties of iron tailing porous concrete under impact loading

Iron tailing porous concrete (ITPC) is a new foamed concrete material that using iron ore tailing powder to partially replace the cement. Previous investigations on ITPC primarily focused on its mechanical properties under static loads or low strain rate conditions, leaving a significant gap in its impact resistance performance at high strain rates. This study employed the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) to test ITPC specimens under impact loading with strain rate around 120 s−1. Density, water-binder (W/B) ratio, iron tailing powder content, polypropylene fiber length and content were taken as key design variables to prepare the ITPC specimens with different mix ratios and study their effects on the dynamic material properties of ITPC. Specifically, the failure modes, stress-strain relations, elastic moduli, compressive strengths and energy dissipation densities of the ITPC specimens with various design variables were recorded and compared. The test results indicate that the material density, fiber length and content have strong influences on the impact failure modes of ITPC. The elastic modulus, compressive strength and energy dissipation density of ITPC exhibit exponential growth with the material density. These parameters, however, show an initial growth followed by a decrease with the rising W/B ratio, fiber length and fiber content, and they reach the peak values at around 0.70, 9 mm and 2.0%, respectively. Moreover, the iron tailing powder content of 25% is recommended for ITPC for maintaining good impact resistance.

Rigidity-toughness coupling in architected composite materials for enhanced impact resistance

In recent decades, architected composite materials have received increasing attention due to its promising potential in improving the impact resistance performance compared with bulk materials. Some ingenious microstructures of biomaterials can enlighten the design of novel architected composite materials, such as nacre, conch shell and dactyl club of mantis shrimp, which have been extensively applied. Here, in order to further enhance the impact resistance of architected composite materials, hybrid architectures are proposed based on nacre-like brick-mud and sponge-like lamellar architectures. Then, their impact resistance performances and mechanism are investigated by combining experiment with finite element simulation. The results show that through positive hybrid design inspired of the dactyl club, the lamellar bottom makes the hybrid architecture retain excellent toughness, and the brick-mud top guarantees large flexural stiffness, thereby achieving rigidity-toughness coupling and boosting the energy absorption dramatically. Moreover, as the decline of volume ratio of soft phases within and between brick-mud layers, the energy absorption of brick-mud architecture gradually increases owing to the rising damage resistance. Further, the rigidity-toughness coupled effect can be optimized by positively hybridizing multiple architectures with larger variation in flexural stiffness and toughness, even achieving 375 % improvement in energy absorption compared with the basic brick-mud architecture.

A high fidelity multiscale approach for compression-after-impact behavior of 2D triaxially braided composites

In the current study, limited research has been conducted on modeling high-velocity impacts and their effect on residual strength. Though the simulation of compression after low-velocity impact are mature, these methods still have some numerical issues when utilized in the case of high-velocity impacts. Thus, a brand-new method suitable for continuous simulation of compression after high-velocity impact was implemented. As for the modeling techniques for 2DTBC, both the research on the model structure and constitutive behavior is still crude and imprecise. To address this situation, a high fidelity multiscale approach which contains a more accurate RUC model, a strain rate sensitive viscoelastic constitutive model and a novel subcell model was established. The HVI and CAI examples were conducted based on this framework and most results showed an error of less than 5% in both the simulation of impact resistance and residual performance. Also, the damage morphologies of simulated results demonstrated its capability and effectiveness.

Study on the dynamic response of aluminum‐based curved panels coated with polyurea under impact loads

AbstractMetal curved panels are commonly used in engineering structures, but they may be more susceptible to damage under impact loads compared to flat panels. Polyurea coating has been proposed as a solution to improve impact resistance. Therefore, this study investigates the impact resistance performance of curved composite panels by applying polyurea coating to aluminum‐based panels with different curvatures. First, a numerical model of polyurea‐coated aluminum composite panels was established using the finite element software LS‐DYNA, and the sensitivity of model mesh and the numerical model validity were carried out. Then, the impact resistance performance of polyurea‐coated aluminum‐based flat panels was studied from the aspects such as deformation modes and energy dissipation, and the influence of polyurea layer thickness and coating position on the impact resistance performance of polyurea‐coated aluminum composite panels was analyzed. Based on the above results, numerical models of polyurea‐coated aluminum‐based curved panels under different curvatures are further established, and the impact resistance performance of composite curved panels and the structural forms for effective protection against impact loads are comprehensively analyzed. The research results indicate that double‐sided polyurea coating is the optimal coating method for both aluminum flat panels and aluminum curved panels. After the coating thickness reaches 4 mm, there is no significant improvement in the structural impact resistance performance. The impact deformation of curved panels can be divided into four stages: dynamic buckling, plastic indentation, rebound deformation, and vibration. The concave surface has strong impact and deformation resistance, and the convex surface has strong impact resistance. The research results have important theoretical implications for the safe engineering design of protective structures using metal curved panels.

Structural design and multi-objective optimization of a novel asymmetric magnetorheological damper

The MRD with continuously adjustable damping, small compression, and large extension for asymmetric output may improve all-terrain vehicle impact resistance and vibration reduction performance in a variety of conditions. A novel conical flow channel asymmetric MRD (CFC-MRD) is proposed to solve the structure complexity stroke sacrifice, and lack of failure protection concerns in currently studied asymmetric MRD structures. In the design, the non-parallel plate magnetic circuit characteristics of CFC-MRD are investigated, including theoretical analysis and finite element modeling, and the correctness of the model is proved by testing. Considerations in multi-objective optimization include special performance imposing extra restrictions, and making the work more complicated and prone to local optima. To address this, the Nelder–Mead approach is utilized, which decreases the complexity of the optimization model while simultaneously managing performance conflicts. And a collaborative optimization strategy employing Comsol and Matlab tools is applied to improve optimization efficiency. The greatest difference between theoretical optimized values and real values is less than 6.77% in the experiments, showing the efficiency of the CFC-MRD structure design and optimization process.

Impact resistance performance and structural optimization of lightweight composite target plate

AbstractThe finite element model of a 7.62 mm armor‐piercing incendiary bomb penetrating lightweight composite target is established. The structure of the target plate is composed of boron carbide ceramic/carbon fiber laminate/aramid fiber laminate/damping material. The reasonable distribution position of damping material is explored by designing the material structure and geometric parameters. Genetic algorithm is used to optimize the structure of the lightweight composite target plate, and the feasibility of the optimization results is verified through experiments. The results show that under the same surface density, the energy absorption value of the target plate with a certain thickness of back layer damping is 1.36% higher than that of the target plate without damping. And the damping material on the back layer can act as a buffer layer to reduce blunt trauma caused by bullets to the human body. The surface density of the optimized lightweight composite target plate is reduced by 21.6% under the same protection capability. This work provides a theoretical foundation for the impact resistance design and optimization of lightweight composite target plates.Highlights Impact resistance performance of lightweight composite target plate is investigated. The impacting analytical model of the structure is established. The validity of the optimized impacting analytical model is verified by numerical simulation.

Design and compressive behaviors of the gradient re-entrant origami honeycomb metamaterials

In recent years, origami honeycomb metamaterials have garnered extensive attention from researchers. Re-entrant origami honeycomb metamaterials exhibit excellent mechanical performances by virtue of lightweight, high-energy-absorbing characteristics and diverse configurations. In this study, the gradient re-entrant origami honeycomb metamaterials are designed by changing significant geometric parameters. To investigate the effects of geometric parameters variations on compressive behaviors, the theoretical analysis model of the re-entrant origami honeycomb is built to predict the compression stress under low-velocity and high-velocity impact. Subsequently, the energy absorption of the uniform re-entrant origami honeycomb (UROH), the gradient-thickness re-entrant origami honeycombs (GTROHs) and the gradient-angle re-entrant origami honeycomb (GAROHs)are investigated under different compression velocities. The impact resistances of UROH, GTROHs and GAROHs are discussed systematically. By adjusting the gradient distribution of thickness, the deformation modes and Poisson’s ratio curves of the structure could be altered. Furthermore, under the high-velocity impact, the specific energy absorption (SEA) of the unidirectionally negative GTROH is increased by 36% than that of UROH at the strain of 0.29. The SEA of the unidirectionally positive GTROH is higher by 14.4% than that of UROH at the strain of 0.8. In addition, the unidirectionally positive GTROH exhibits better impact resistance performance than UROH by comparing the peak stress and SEA value under different compression velocities. This study is expected to provide the new route for designing advanced origami-inspired honeycomb structures and improving buffer protection devices.

Seismic performance of soft rock tunnel under composite support conditions

In order to effectively improve the seismic and impact resistance performance of soft rock tunnels, a composite support method was proposed and validated in the paper. The UDEC (Universal Distinct Element Code) model of soft rock layers was established, and the movement and subsidence characteristics of the roof and floor of the rock layers under impact loads was simulated and calculated. As a result, a composite support scheme with good cushioning performance was proposed. The top and sides of the tunnel were supported by a combination of anchor rods of different lengths and metal mesh, reinforced by steel beams and vibration absorbing filler around. The anchor rod was designed as a segmented loading structure, and can be set to different preloading forces based on the internal deformation of the rock layer. The dynamic response testing scheme was designed, and the results indicate that the segmented loading anchor rod has a significant buffering effect on the response to impact load, and can provide reasonable tension feedback at different stages. Research has found that when the water cement ratio is 0.5-1.5, the curing efficiency and strength are both higher. In order to compare the seismic performance of composite support and traditional constant resistance anchor rod support, local blasting experiments were conducted. Based on a blasting vibration tester, a data detection and transmission system were designed to obtain the vibration speed of the tunnel roof during the vibration process. The research results show that composite support can reduce the maximum vibration by more than 40 %, stabilize the fragmentation coefficient at 1.38, and have a very significant vibration reduction effect.

An analytical study on low velocity impact resistance behaviors of general bio‐inspired helicoidal composite plates

AbstractThrough evolutionary processes, helicoidal structures have been proven to exhibit exceptional load‐carrying capacity and impact resistance performance. To date, extensive experimental and numerical studies have been carried out on their impact behaviors, while few relevant analytical studies have been reported even though it is urgently needed for the preliminary assessment of structure design and optimization. In this work, based on the first shear deformation theory (FSDT) and the improved linearized Hertzian contact method, an analytical model for low velocity impact (LVI) performances of helicoidal laminates with arbitrary layups is developed. Therein, the post‐impact damage is taken into account according to continuum damage mechanics (CDM). Comparisons of load‐carrying capacity and energy‐absorbed performance between the proposed model prediction and the existing experimental data\numerical results have been made for verification. Besides, LVI behaviors of conventional laminates with unidirectional distribution andcross‐ply arrangement are discussed. Moreover, the role of rotation angle, impact velocity and the plate dimension on helicoidal laminates' LVI performances are analyzed quantitatively. There is evidence that helical layouts are better able to absorb energy and delay the in‐plane damage.Highlights The LVI responses of bio‐inspired single‐helicoidal (SH) and double‐helicoidal (DH) composite laminate are studied. An effective model to predict the LVI responses considered the post‐impact damage is developed. A comparison of the LVI performance of single‐helicoidal structures with various lay‐up schemes is carried out. DH structure has better low velocity impact resistance than SH structure when the rotation angle shares the same.

High‐velocity impact resistance of the carbon fiber composite grid sandwich structures

AbstractThe carbon fiber composite grid sandwich structure represents an innovative category of lightweight composite sandwich structures, showcasing remarkable attributes including reduced weight, high‐specific strength, exceptional specific stiffness, and robust design flexibility. Using ABAQUS, the high‐velocity impact performance of carbon fiber composite grid sandwich structure is numerically simulated. This study delved into examining the impact patterns arising from various factors, including the equivalent density, height, and geometric configuration of the core layer. Additionally, the effects of the impact punch's initial velocity, size, and impact position on the high‐speed impact resistance performance of the carbon fiber composite grid sandwich structure were explored. The fracture absorption work of the structure and the kinetic energy attenuation rate of the impact punch are positively correlated with the equivalent density, height of the structural core layer, as well as the initial velocity and dimensions of the impact punch. Notably, the square carbon fiber composite grid sandwich structure was most significantly influenced by the equivalent density of the core layer, while the mixed carbon fiber composite grid sandwich structure was most sensitive to variations in core layer height and punch size. When impacted at the intersection of the ribs, compared with the central position between the two ribs, the structure shows enhanced fracture absorption energy and greater impact kinetic energy attenuation rate.Highlights The structure was modeled based on the interlocking assembly process. The high‐velocity impact resistance of the structure was studied. Different structural parameters were designed for the core layer to study. The initial velocity, size and impact position of the punch were involved.

Dynamic penetration behaviors of graphene origami under high-velocity impact

Brittleness remains the key bottleneck for graphene to be used as impact protection materials and this obstacle can be overcome by origami-modified graphene. Herein we employed molecular dynamics simulation to investigate the perforation behaviours of graphene origami (GOri) under ballistic impact from a diamond projectile. We found that the threshold penetration velocity of GOri can be improved significantly by 46.27 % compared with that of its pristine counterpart. Under a small ballistic impact loading at a low speed, GOri experiences a unique unfolding process and hence has improved impact-resistance performance. Depending on the initial velocity of the projectile, three different penetration phenomena are observed, i.e. bounce-back, capture, and perforation state. The penetration energy depends on the roughness of GOri, the initial impact velocity, the projectile's radius and the layer number. This study provides useful insights into the perforation behaviours and energy absorption of GOri and offers useful guidelines for graphene applications as impact protection materials.

Impact resistance of horsetail bio-honeycombs

Inspired by the ingenious cross-sectional structure of horsetail stems, a group of novel horsetail bio-honeycombs (HBHs) are firstly proposed to pursuit a superior impact resistance performance. The out-of-plane impact resistance characteristics and mechanical properties of the proposed HBHs are investigated by means of test, theoretical analysis, and finite element (FE) analysis. In the process of deriving the theoretical model of HBHs, the novel 5-panel and 7-panel membrane energy dissipation corner elements are firstly proposed and reasonable theoretical solutions for them are obtained. Theoretical results suggest that the errors between numerical and theoretical results for the majority of the HBHs are within 7 %. In addition, the studies indicate that the HBHs outperform the circular honeycomb (CH) in terms of crashworthiness while ensuring that their relative densities are the same. The complex proportional assessment method is utilized to evaluate the crashworthiness of HBH_n_6_1.5 (n represents the number of ribs, 6 represents the size of the outer diameter, and 1.5 represents the ratio (ζ) of the outer diameter to the inner diameter) under the same relative density. Furthermore, results suggest that energy absorption and crushing force efficiency of HBH_16_6_1.5 are 31.31 % and 25.54 % higher than those of CH, respectively. Subsequently, the influences of geometric parameters, including the ζ and the thickness-to-cell length ratio (TL), on the impact resistance of HBH_16_6_1.5 are investigated thoroughly. The findings show that when the ζ is within 1.2–1.5, the HBHs can exert their maximum potential, in which the inner diameter of HBHs is close to its outer diameter. Also, the findings demonstrate that the HBHs will undergo three distinct deformation modes. When the TL is roughly within 0.0200–0.0267, the deformation of HBHs will be in the transition deformation mode.

Low-velocity impact behavior of warp-knitted spacer fabric reinforced with spiderweb shaped stitch

Warp-knitted spacer fabrics are a widely considerable material owing to its unique sandwich structure and superior performance, employed across diverse fields such as military, transportation, construction, and personal protection. However, they are inevitably subjected to impacts in practical applications. This work investigated the influence of surface layer structure on the impact resistance property of fabrics by drop weight tests. The damage tolerance of warp-knitted spacer fabrics was also studied through repeated impact experiments. To further improve the impact resistance property of the fabric, a simple sewing method was proposed in this work. Inspired by the spiderweb structure, a spiderweb shape was sewn on the fabric. The results demonstrated that hexagonal mesh as the impact surface provided better impact resistance for the fabric. As the number of impacts increases, the deformation of the fabric gradually intensifies, and the fabric is completely damaged during the fourth impact. The stitch can enhance its impact resistance, and the shape of the stitch had a significant influence on the impact resistance performance.

Static and dynamic study of fiber-reinforced hemispherical stacked sandwich structure

Sandwich structures have garnered considerable attention due to their ability to meet the requirements of the aerospace and defense industry for impact resistance and lightweight performance. Unlike the plate or block construction investigated in previous studies, this present study proposes a new type of configuration known as the fiber-reinforced hemispherical stacked sandwich (FRHSS) structure. The fabrication of this FRHSS is achieved through the utilization of the Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding (VARTM) process and its response under quasi-static compression load is analyzed through both simulation and experiment. It is found that the internal configuration design effectively determines the direction of contraction in the hemispherical construction when it is subjected to quasi-static compression load. Furthermore, the impact resistance of the FRHSS against projectile penetration is also assessed. Through a comparison of simulation and experimental results, it becomes evident that the Chang-Chang failure criterion can successfully model the penetration process. Finally, the influence of internal configuration on the penetration resistance of the structure is studied by finite element method. The results show that the internal configuration plays an important role in the ballistic limiting velocity and ballistic performance of the construction. This study provides a valuable reference for the design of hemispherical sandwich structures.

Low-velocity impact-resistance of aramid fiber three-dimensional woven textile-reinforced thermoplastic-epoxy composites

The development of impact-resistant composite materials for protective applications such as helmet and body armor has attracted considerable attention. In this study, a novel aramid fiber-woven thermoplastic-epoxy composite was developed. Furthermore, three types of woven textiles, namely three-dimensional (3D) orthogonal-woven (3DOW), 3D angle-interlock woven (3DAIW), and two-dimensional plain-woven (2DPW) textiles, were used as reinforcement structures. To study the effect of the woven structure, impact energy, and damage repairment on impact-resistance performance of these composites, low-velocity drop-weight impact tests with various impact scenarios, such as single-impact, repeated-impact, as well as multiple-impact with hot-press damage repairment, were conducted. The results revealed that the woven structure exhibited an obvious effect on the composite impact-resistance performance and failure modes when subjected to specific impact scenarios. For the single-impact scenario, especially under high impact energy levels (10 and 20 J), the 3DOW structure exhibited superior impact-resistance performance as well as damage tolerance, followed by 3DAIW and 2DPW structures. Furthermore, 3DOW achieved superior impact-resistance to the other two structures for the 10-J repeated-impact scenario. The 3DAIW structure, in which debonding or delamination as well as severe resin cracks dominated, achieved superior impact-resistance to multiple impacts with damage repairment.
