The high strain rate dependence of the flow stress of metals and alloys is described from a
dislocation mechanics viewpoint over a range beginning from conventional …

High-velocity microparticle impacts are relevant to many fields, from space exploration to
additive manufacturing, and can be used to help understand the physical and chemical …

Updated throughout for the new edition, Armour: Materials, Theory, and Design covers
extant and emergent protection technologies driving advances in armour systems. Covering …

In this paper, a comparative study has been made on the capability of Johnson Cook (JC),
modified Zerilli–Armstrong (ZA), and strain-compensated Arrhenius-type constitutive models …

Civil and military ballistic protection systems often consist of thin, high-strength steel plates.
Such plates may either be monolithic or layered with or without spacing. The idea of using …

An innovative auxetic-cored sandwich panel (AXP) is proposed. Its perforation resistant
performance under high-velocity projectile impact was numerically analyzed using the …

As one of the most commonly used aerospace aluminum alloys, 2024-T351 aluminum alloy
plates are frequently exposed to impact loadings. In this study, the ballistic resistance of 2, 4 …

The experimental stress–strain data from isothermal hot compression tests over a wide
range of temperatures (1073–1473K), strains (0.1–0.5) and strain rates (0.001–1s− 1) were …

Few shear test techniques exist that cover the range of strain rates from static to dynamic. In
this work, a novel specimen geometry is presented that can be used for the characterisation …

Many actions, such as accidental or malicious explosions, may impose high loading rates to
structural frames. To enhance the knowledge of the behaviour of joints subjected to severe …
