Study of the conditions of fracture at explosive compaction of powders
Journal Title: Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale - Year 2013, Vol 7, Issue 24
Abstract
Joint theoretical and experimental investigations have allowed to realize an approach with use of mathematical and physical modeling of processes of a shock wave loading of powder materials.In order to gain a better insight into the effect of loading conditions and, in particular, to study the effect of detonation velocity, explosive thickness, and explosion pressure on the properties of the final sample, we numerically solved the problem about powder compaction in the axisymmetric case.The performed analysis shows that an increase in the decay time of the pressure applied to the sample due to an increase of the explosive thickness or the external loading causes no shrinkage of the destructed region at a fixed propagation velocity of the detonation wave. Simultaneously, a decrease in the propagation velocity of the detonation wave results in an appreciable shrinkage of this region.

Effects of large amounts of hydrogen on the fatigue crack growth behavior of torsional prestrained carbon steel
The effects of large amounts of hydrogen on the fatigue crack growth properties of torsional prestrained ferritic–pearlitic low-carbon steel were investigated. Hydrogen-precharged specimens were produced by c...
The interface between metallurgy and mechanics in material performance
[u][/u]This paper considers an important topic, and one that is often poorly understood or misinterpreted, but which is a determining factor in many aspects of the service performance of metals (and other materials). En...
Functional fatigue of NiTi Shape Memory wires for a range of end loadings and constraints
The availability of engineering strength data on shape memory alloys (SMAs) under cyclic thermal activation (functional fatigue) is central to the rational design of smart actuators based on these materials....
Damaging micromechanisms characterization in a ferritic-pearlitic ductile cast iron
The analysis of the damaging micromechanisms in Ductile Cast Irons is often focused on ferritic matrix. Up to ten years ago, for this grades of DCIs, the main damaging micromechanism was identified with the graph...
Use of FBG sensors for monitoring cracks of the equestrian statue of Bartolomeo Colleoni in Venice
The Bartolomeo Colleoni monument suffered for years damage from the local climate. The process of restoring the Colleoni equestrian statue, started in 2003, allowed to understand how the bronze statue was origina...
