Small-scale experimentation is recognised to play an important role in the investigation of
the behaviour of large-scale structures. Presently however, there exists no known procedure …

The stress state and strain rate dependent fracture behavior of high strength aluminum
sheet, AA7075-T6, is characterized experimentally and numerically. Experiments were …

Impact studies are always important, challenging and are performed to ensure that materials
do not fail catastrophically when subjected to high-velocity impact. Many a time, the material …

A new shear specimen is designed, evaluated and tested quasi-statically and dynamically.
The specimen consists of a long cylinder having a horizontal gauge section created by two …

High strain rate deformation behavior studies in structures always hold importance in many
areas of science and technology. The high strain rate deformation behavior is generally …

In an impact phenomenon the material is subjected to very short duration high force levels
resulting large plastic deformations and rise in temperature at high strain rates. A circular rod …

Impact and dynamic fracture behavior studies in the structures always hold importance in
many areas of science and everyday phenomenon. A process of fracture phenomenon and …

To improve the toughness and ductility of polycarbonate (PC), rubber particles are added.
These particles are assumed to be precavitated and are represented by voids. By the …

A comparative study of two different incremental objective stress measures-Jaumann stress
rate measure and a new incremental objective stress-are compared for simulations of large …
