The mechanical properties of polymers are becoming increasingly important as they are
used in structural applications, both on their own and as matrix materials for composites. It …

Abstract Functionally graded Ti-6Al-4V lattice structures with a step-wise gradient and a
continuous gradient were designed and fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM) method …

The aim of this article is to review the solution and challenges associated with high strain
rate behavior of nanocomposites. Nanoclay, carbon nanotube, graphene, and inorganic …

The authors systematically describe the general principles of Kolsky bars, or split Hopkinson
bars, which are widely used for obtaining dynamic material properties. Modifications are …

Measurements are presented of the compressive stress–strain behaviour of polycarbonate
(PC) and polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) at strain rates from 10− 4 to 104s− 1 at room …

Polymers are becoming increasingly used in aerospace structural applications, where they
experience complex, non-static loads. Correspondingly, the mechanical properties at high …

Rock engineering projects at depth are frequently subjected to dynamic loadings under in-
situ stress state, and the studies should be conducted to decipher the coupled effect of …

Deformation and fracture behavior of laser processed dense and porous Ti6Al4V alloy
under uniaxial static and dynamic compression loadings were experimentally investigated in …

A modified split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) numerical testing system is established to
study the characteristics of rocks under simultaneous static and dynamic loading conditions …

A hybrid fabrication method combining additive manufacturing (AM) and ultrasonic impact
treatment (UIT) techniques was developed to improve the microstructure and mechanical …
