To investigative the damage of single and sequential strike induced by the EPWs, experimental and numerical investigations are carried out in this paper.Firstly, a series of sequential explosion tests are conducted to provide the basic data of the crater size.Then, a numerical model is established to simulate the damage effects of sequential explosions using the meshfree method of Smoothed particle Galerkin. The effectiveness of numerical model is verified by comparison with the experimental results. Finally, based on dimensional analysis, several empirical formulas for describing the crater size are presented, including the conical crater diameter and the conical crater depth of the single explosion, the conical crater area and the joint depth of the secondary explosion. The formula for the single explosion expresses the relationship between the aspect ratio of the charge ranging from 3 to 7, the dimensionless buried depth ranging from 2 to 14 and the crater size. The formula for the secondary explosion expresses the relationship between the relative position of the two explosions and the crater size. All of data can provide reference for the design of protective structures.展开更多

文摘This research addresses the growing demand for high-performance protective materials against high-velocity projectile impacts.The performance of multi-layered steel fiber-reinforced mortar(SFRM)panels with varying thicknesses and air gaps,was experimentally investigated under single and repeated impacts of 7.62×51 mm bullets fired from a distance of 50 m.The impact events were recorded using a high-speed camera at 40000 fps.Panel performance was assessed in terms of failure modes,kinetic energy absorption,spalling diameter,and percentage of back-face damage area,and weight loss.Results showed that panel configuration significantly influenced performance.Panel P10,with 70 mm SFRM thickness and 20 mm air gaps,provided the highest resistance,dissipating 5223 J of kinetic energy and preventing back-face damage.In contrast,P7,which absorbed 4476 J,presented a back damage area percentage of 8.93%after three impacts.Weight loss analysis further confirmed durability improvements,with P10 showing only 1.53%cumulative loss compared to 3.26%in P7.The inclusion of wider air gaps enhanced energy dissipation and reduced damage.Comparison between single and repeated impacts demonstrated the sustained resistance of high-performance panels,with P10 maintaining minimal degradation across three consecutive impacts.These findings highlight the potential of multi-layer SFRM panels to enhance ballistic resistance,making them suitable for military,security,and civilian protective applications requiring long-term durability.

文摘Blast-loaded reinforced concrete(RC)slabs should fail under a ductile bending mechanism enabling high energy absorption capacity.Hence,brittle shear failure must be avoided.However,due to the uncertainties related to the materials,geometry,and resistance models,it may be difficult to predict which failure mode will prevail.This study analytically estimated the probability of premature flexural shear failure of slender RC one-way slabs subjected to blast loading considering such uncertainties and using the Monte Carlo(MC)method.The resistance models in Eurocode 2 were adopted.Specimens with and without shear reinforcement were analyzed.Bending failure was shown to be the most likely failure mode in the studied slabs.However,the probability of shear failure developing before bending failure was still relatively high,particularly for slabs without stirrups.To increase the confidence level concerning the preferred failure mechanism,the article proposes an overstrength factor to magnify the shear demand of the blast-loaded RC slab.Values of the overstrength factor for different target reliability levels were calculated.The study also found that the probability of premature shear failure increased with increasing amount of longitudinal reinforcement and decreasing slenderness.Likewise,greater impulse was found to enhance the risk for shear failure.

文摘With the change of the main influencing factors such as structural configuration and impact conditions,reinforced concrete slabs exhibit different mechanical behaviors with different failure patterns,and the failure modes are transformed.In order to reveal the failure mode and transformation rule of reinforced concrete slabs under impact loads,a dynamic impact response test was carried out using a drop hammer test device.The dynamic data pertaining to the impact force,support reaction force,structural displacement,and reinforcement strain were obtained through the use of digital image correlation technology(DIC),impact force measurement,and strain measurement.The analysis of the ultimate damage state of the reinforced concrete slab identified four distinct types of impact failure modes:local failure by stamping,overall failure by stamping,local-overall coupling failure,and local failure by punching.Additionally,the influence laws of hammerhead shape,hammer height,and reinforcement ratio on the dynamic response and failure mode transformation of the slab were revealed.The results indicate that:(1)The local damage to the slab by the plane hammer is readily apparent,while the overall damage by the spherical hammer is more pronounced.(2)In comparison to the high reinforcement ratio slabs,the overall bending resistance of the low reinforcement ratio slabs is significantly inferior,and the slab back exhibits further cracks.(3)As the hammer height increases,the slab failure mode undergoes a transformation,shifting from local failure by stamping and overall failure by stamping to local-overall coupling failure and local failure by punching.(4)Three failure mode thresholds have been established,and by comparing the peak impact force with the failure thresholds,the failure mode of the slab can be effectively determined.

文摘Polyether ether ketone(PEEK)-based continuous glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite offers advantages such as high strength,electrical insulation,and heat insulation.Parts manufactured using this composite and 3D printing have promising applications in aerospace,automobile,rail transit,etc.In this paper,a high-temperature melt impregnation method was used to successfully prepare the 3D printing prepreg filaments of the aforementioned composite.In the FDM 3D printing equipment,a nozzle of high thermal conductivity and wear-resistant copper alloy and a PEEK-based carbon fiber thermoplastic composite build plate with uniform temperature control were innovatively introduced to effectively improve the quality of 3D printing.The porosity of the 3D printed samples produced from the composite prepreg filament was analyzed under different printing parameters,and the mechanical properties and fracture mechanism of the printed parts were studied.The results show that the printing layer thickness,printing speed,printing temperature and build plate temperature have varying effects on the porosity of printed parts,which in turn affects tensile strength and the interlaminar shear strength(ILSS).When the printing layer thickness is 0.4 mm,printing speed is 2 mm/s,nozzle temperature is 430℃ and build plate temperature is 150℃,the tensile strength and ILSS of the composite printed parts reach their maximum values of 463.76 and 24.95 MPa,respectively.Microscopic analysis of the fracture morphology of the tensile specimens reveals that the 3D printed CGF/PEEK composite sample has three types of fracture mode,which are single filament bundle fracture,fracture mode of delamination,and fracture failure of the sample at the cross-section.The essence of the above three kinds of fracture mode is the difference of the interface bonding force of 3D printed CGF/PEEK composites.The fracture failure at the cross-section is that the continuous glass fibers in the composite are pulled out until they break,which is the main form of the failure of the composite under tensile load.The interfacial region of the composite is prone to microscopic defects such as voids and delamination during 3D printing,which become the most vulnerable link of the composite.Understanding the relationship between voids and fracture behavior lays a foundation for defect suppression and performance improvement of subsequent printed parts.

文摘Long-term cyclic train loading can cause settlement and deformation of the roadbed,affecting the normal operation of trains.In order to investigate the strain pattern of reinforced sandy soil under train loading,a series of dynamic triaxial tests were carried out using multi-stage loading,focusing on the effects of the number of reinforcement layers,the confining pressure,and the mesh size of the geogrid on the accumulated plastic strain of reinforced sandy soil.Moreover,prediction models were proposed.The test results show that:1)The cumulative plastic strain versus vibration times of the specimens under different reinforcement layers exhibited three stages,namely,the rapid development stage,the rate transformation stage and the stability stage;2)The cumulative plastic strain decreases with increasing the number of reinforcement layers,but the magnitude of the effect of reinforcement on the cumulative plastic strain decreases with increasing the number of reinforcement layers,increasing the perimeter pressure and decreasing the mesh size of the geogrid have similar effects on the cumulative plastic strain pattern as increasing the number of reinforcement layers;3)Combined with the cumulative plastic strain law,a comprehensive model is proposed and the coefficient of determination is greater than 0.99.Furthermore,The cumulative plastic strain evolution law can be effectively predicted.The significance of parameters A,B and C is analyzed in detail.This study can provide theoretical references for further understanding of the deformation characteristics and settlement prediction of railway subgrades.

文摘Fiber reinforced ceramic matrix composites(FRCMCs)are the preferred materials for safety critical components in the fields of aerospace,nuclear engineering,and transportation,with broad market and application prospects.However,due to the characteristics of multiphase,heterogeneity,and anisotropy,key issues such as poor adhesion,high porosity,and crack propagation urgently need to be addressed in the fabrication and machining of FRCMCs.With the increasing demand for FRCMCs parts,high-quality and reliable design and fabrication,performance evaluation,and precision manufacturing have become a series of hot issues.There is a lack of systematic review in capturing the current research status and development direction of FRCMCs fabrication and machining.This research aims to comprehensively review and critically evaluate the existing understanding of the fabrication and machining of FRCMCs.This study can provide scientists with a deeper understanding of the shape control mechanism of FRCMCs fabrication and machining,the theoretical basis of material synchronous removal,machining performance,and development direction.Firstly,the basic characteristics and application background of FRCMCs are introduced.Secondly,by comparing and analyzing the typical fabrication process of FRCMCs,the advantages,disadvantages,and performance evaluation of different processes are comprehensively evaluated.Thirdly,the material removal mechanisms and machining performance evaluation standards of traditional mechanical machining technologies(drilling,milling,grinding)and non-traditional mechanical machining technologies(ultrasonic,laser,water jet,discharge,wire saw,and multi-field hybrid machining)are discussed and analyzed.Finally,the challenges,development trends,and prospects faced by FRCMCs in the fields of fabrication,machining,and application are analyzed.This study not only elucidates the basic processes and key difficulties in the fabrication of FRCMCs,but also provides valuable insights for low-damage machining.

文摘To improve the wettability of hypereutectic Al−60Si alloy and enhance the mechanical properties of the joints,Al−60Si alloy was joined by ultrasonic soldering with Sn-9Zn solder,and a sound joint with in-situ Si particle reinforcement was obtained.The oxide film of Al−60Si alloy at the interface was identified by transmission electron microscopy(TEM)analysis as amorphous Al_(2)O_(3).The oxide of Si particles in the base metal was also alumina.The oxide film of Al−60Si alloy was observed to be removed by ultrasonic vibration instead of holding treatment.Si particle-reinforced joints(35.7 vol.%)were obtained by increasing the ultrasonication time.The maximum shear strength peaked at 99.5 MPa for soldering at 330℃with an ultrasonic vibration time of 50 s.A model of forming of Si particles reinforced joint under the ultrasound was proposed,and ultrasonic vibration was considered to promote the dissolution of Al and migration of Si particles.

文摘This study investigates the flexural performance of ultra-high performance concrete(UHPC)in reinforced concrete T-beams,focusing on the effects of interfacial treatments.Three concrete T-beam specimens were fabricated and tested:a control beam(RC-T),a UHPC-reinforced beam with a chiseled interface(UN-C-50F),and a UHPC-reinforced beam featuring both a chiseled interface and anchored steel rebars(UN-CS-50F).The test results indicated that both chiseling and the incorporation of anchored rebars effectively created a synergistic combination between the concrete T-beam and the UHPC reinforcement layer,with the UN-CS-50F exhibiting the highest flexural resistance.The cracking load and ultimate load of UN-CS-50F were 221.5%and 40.8%,respectively,higher than those of the RC-T.Finite element(FE)models were developed to provide further insights into the behavior of the UHPCreinforced T-beams,showing a maximumdeviation of just 8%when validated against experimental data.A parametric analysis varied the height,thickness,andmaterial strength of the UHPC reinforcement layer based on the validated FE model,revealing that increasing the UHPC layer thickness from 30 to 50 mm improved the ultimate resistance by 20%while reducing the UHPC reinforcement height from 440 to 300 mm led to a 10%decrease in bending resistance.The interfacial anchoring rebars significantly reduced crack propagation and enhanced stress redistribution,highlighting the importance of strengthening interfacial bonds and optimizing geometric parameters ofUHPCfor improved T-beam performance.These findings offer valuable insights for the design and retrofitting of UHPC-reinforced bridge girders.

文摘Dopamine polymerization reaction and hydrothermal method were used to prepare nickel coated Al_(2)O_(3)reinforcement phase(Ni/Al_(2)O_(3)).Ni/Al_(2)O_(3)reinforced Sn_(1.0)Ag_(0.5)Cu(SAC105)composite solder was prepared using traditional casting method.The result shows that the nickel coating layer is continuous with uneven thickness.The interface between nickel and aluminum oxide exhibits a metallurgical bonding with coherent interface relationship.The strength,toughness and wettability of the SAC105 solder on the substrate are improved,while the conductivity is not decreased significantly.The fracture mode of composites transitions from a mixed toughness-brittleness mode to a purely toughness-dominated mode,characterized by many dimples.The prepared composite brazing material was made into solder paste for copper plate lap joint experiments.The maximum shear strength is achieved when the doping amount was 0.3wt%.The growth index of intermetallic compound at the brazing interface of Ni/Al_(2)O_(3)reinforced SAC105 composite solder is linearly fitted to n=0.39,demonstrating that the growth of intermetallic compound at the interface is a combined effect of grain boundary diffusion and bulk diffusion.

文摘Understanding the reinforcement effect of the newly developed prestressed reinforcement components(PRCs)(a system composed of prestressed steel bars(PSBs),protective sleeves,lateral pressure plates(LPPs),and anchoring elements)is technically significant for the rational design of prestressed subgrade.A three-dimensional finite element model was established and verified based on a novel static model test and utilized to systematically analyze the influence of prestress levels and reinforcement modes on the reinforcement effect of the subgrade.The results show that the PRCs provide additional confining pressure to the subgrade through the diffusion effect of the prestress,which can therefore effectively improve the service performance of the subgrade.Compared to the unreinforced conventional subgrades,the settlements of prestressreinforced subgrades are reduced.The settlement attenuation rate(Rs)near the LPPs is larger than that at the subgrade center,and increasing the prestress positively contributes to the stability of the subgrade structure.In the multi-row reinforcement mode,the reinforcement effect of PRCs can extend from the reinforced area to the unreinforced area.In addition,as the horizontal distance from the LPPs increases,the additional confining pressure converted by the PSBs and LPPs gradually diminishes when spreading to the core load bearing area of the subgrade,resulting in a decrease in the Rs.Under the singlerow reinforcement mode,PRCs can be strategically arranged according to the local areas where subgrade defects readily occurred or observed,to obtain the desired reinforcement effect.Moreover,excessive prestress should not be applied near the subgrade shoulder line to avoid the shear failure of the subgrade shoulder.PRCs can be flexibly used for preventing and treating various subgrade defects of newly constructed or existing railway lines,achieving targeted and classified prevention,and effectively improving the bearing performance and deformation resistance of the subgrade.The research results are instructive for further elucidating the prestress reinforcement effect of PRCs on railway subgrades.

文摘In this paper,a type of reinforcing structure for composite shell with single and through hole is presented.The experimental tests for the composite shells without hole,with single hole and reinforced structure,with through hole and reinforced structure subjected to hydrostatic pressure were carried out by the designed experimental test system.The mechanical responses of the composite shells under hydrostatic pressure are obtained by the high-speed camera and strain measurement.The results show that the entire deformation process of the shell can be divided into three:uniform compression,"buckling mode formation"and buckling.The"buckling mode formation"process is captured and reported for the first time.For the composite shell with single hole,the proposed reinforcing structure has a significant reinforcement effect on the shell and the buckling capacity of the shell is not weaker than the complete composite shell.For the composite shell with through hole,sealing effect can be achieved by the proposed reinforcing structure,but the buckling capacity of the shell after reinforcement can only reach 77%of the original buckling capacity.
