Evolution of molecular structure of TATB under shock loading from transient Raman spectroscopic technique

By combination of the transient Raman spectroscopic measurement and the density functional theoretical calculations,the structural evolution and stability of TATB under shock compression was investigated.Due to the improvement in synchronization control between two-stage light gas gun and the transient Raman spectra acquisition,as well as the sample preparation,the Raman peak of the N-O mode of TATB was firstly observed under shock pressure up to 13.6 GPa,noticeably higher than the upper limit of 8.5 GPa reported in available literatures.By taking into account of the continuous shift of the main peak and other observed Raman peaks,we did not distinguish any structural transition or any new species.Moreover,both the present Raman spectra and the time-resolved radiation of TATB during shock loading showed that TATB exhibits higher chemical stability than previous declaration.To reveal the detailed structural response and evolution of TATB under compression,the density functional theoretical calculations were conducted,and it was found that the pressure make N-O bond lengths shorter,nitro bond angles larger,and intermolecular and intra-molecular hydrogen bond interactions enhanced.The observed red shift of Raman peak was ascribed to the abnormal enhancement of H-bound effect on the scissor vibration mode of the nitro group.

Trans-scale study on the thermal response and initiation of ternary fluoropolymer-matrix reactive materials under shock loading

To investigate the thermal response and initiation behavior of ternary fluoropolymer-matrix PTFE/Al/W reactive materials,a research combining shock loading tests and trans-scale modelling is conducted.On the basis of a good agreement of the numerically simulated and tested shock wave propagation,the significant impact of component ratios and particle sizes on the evolution of mesoscopic temperature,hot-spots and initiation is well characterized and analyzed.Results demonstrate that as the content of W increases,the range of mesoscopic high-temperature area increases and tends to distribute more uniform,while material with smaller W particles causes more intense particle deformation and larger temperature rise.The time to reach the critical temperature shows positive correlation to the content of W,while the critical temperature of hot-spots shows negative correlation to the particle size of W.For PTFE/Al/W of high density,with the increase of W particle size,the reaction rate decrease,however the time to reach the peak reaction rate shortens.

Blast waveform tailoring using controlled venting in blast simulators and shock tubes

A critical challenge of any blast simulation facility is in producing the widest possible pressure-impulse range for matching against equivalent high-explosive events.Shock tubes and blast simulators are often constrained with the lack of effective ways to control blast wave profiles and as a result have a limited performance range.Some wave shaping techniques employed in some facilities are reviewed but often necessitate extensive geometric modifications,inadvertently cause flow anomalies,and/or are only applicable under very specific configurations.This paper investigates controlled venting as an expedient way for waveforms to be tuned without requiring extensive modifications to the driver or existing geometry and could be widely applied by existing and future blast simulation and shock tube facilities.The use of controlled venting is demonstrated experimentally using the Advanced Blast Simulator(shock tube)at the Australian National Facility of Physical Blast Simulation and via numerical flow simulations with Computational Fluid Dynamics.Controlled venting is determined as an effective method for mitigating the impact of re-reflected waves within the blast simulator.This control method also allows for the adjustment of parameters such as tuning the peak overpressure,the positive phase duration,and modifying the magnitude of the negative phase and the secondary shock of the blast waves.This paper is concluded with an illustration of the potential expanded performance range of the Australian blast simulation facility when controlled venting for blast waveform tailoring as presented in this paper is applied.

Simplified design of rock cavern concrete lining to resist shock loading

A simplified method was proposed for the design of concrete lining in underground rock cavern/tunnel against shock loading. The loading may result from the detonation of explosives on ground surface or ground penetration projectiles exploding adjacent to the cavern/tunnel. The resulting problem necessitates the solution of the dynamics of a beam loaded by a transient pressure uniformly distributed over the span. According to mechanical characteristics of the system with rock bolt and shotcrete, a dynamic support design method based on equivalent single degree of freedom （SDOF） was put forward. The SDOF method was applied to obtaining the maximum displacement at the mid-span of the beam, which is often the controlling factor in the blast-resistant design. In the formulation of the problem, the proposed method combines the phenomena of spalling and structural dynamics theory. An example is provided to demonstrate the applicability of this simplified method.

Influence of structural factors on the strength properties of aluminum alloys under shock wave loading

The results of measurements of the strength characteristics-Hugoniot elastic limit and spall strength of aluminum and aluminum alloys in different structural states under shock wave loading are presented.Single-crystals and polycrystalline technical grade aluminumА1013 and aluminum alloysА2024,АА6063Т6,А1421,A7,А7075,А3003,A5083,АА1070 in the initial coarse-grained state and ultrafine-grained or nanocrystalline structural state were investigated.The refinement of the grain structure was carried out by different methods of severe plastic deformation such as Equal Chanel Angular Pressing,Dynamic Channel Angular Pressing,High-Pressure Torsion and Accumulative Roll-Bonding.The strength characteristics of shock-loaded samples in different structural states were obtained from the analysis of the evolution of the free surface velocity histories recorded by means of laser Doppler velocimeter VISAR.The strain rates before spall fracture of the samples were in the range of 10^(4)-10^(5 )s^(-1),the maximum pressure of shock compression did not exceed 7 GPa.The results of these studies clearly demonstrate the influence of structural factors on the resistance to high-rate deformation and dynamic fracture,and it is much less than under the static and quasi-static loading.

Spall in Aluminium with Helium Bubbles under Laser Shock Loading

The spallation behaviors of Al＋0.2wt% ^10B targets and neutron irradiated Al＋0.2wt% ^10B targets with 5nm radius helium bubble subjected to direct laser ablation are presented. It is found that the spall strength increases significantly with the tensile strain rate, and the helium bubble or boron inclusions in aluminum reduces the spall strength of materials by 34%. However, slight difference is observed in the spall strength of unirradiated samples compared with the irradiated sample with helium bubbles.

Viscosity of aluminum under shock-loading conditions

A reliable data treatment method is critical for viscosity measurements using the disturbance amplitude damping method of shock waves. In this paper the finite difference method is used to obtain the numerical solutions for the disturbance amplitude damping behaviour of the sinusoidal shock front in a flyer-impact experiment. The disturbance amplitude damping curves are used to depict the numerical solutions of viscous flow. By fitting the experimental data to the numerical solutions of different viscosities, we find that the effective shear viscosity coefficients of shocked aluminum at pressures of 42, 78 and 101 GPa are （1500±100） Pas, （2800±100） Pa.s and （3500±100） Pa.s respectively. It is clear that the shear viscosity of aluminum increases with an increase in shock pressure, so aluminum does not melt below a shock pressure of 101 GPa. This conclusion is consistent with the sound velocity measurement.

Enhancement of seal life through carbon composite back-up rings under shock loading conditions in defence applications

The life of Nitrile Butadiene Rubber(NBR) O-ring seal having shore hardness of A70 and A90 under shock loading conditions was investigated by a specially designed pneumo-hydraulic shock test rig. Shock tests have been carried out on bare seals, seal with conventional polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE) back-up rings and seal with newly developed carbon composite back-up rings to study its behaviour under different operating conditions until failure. Experiments were conducted by varying annular gap ranging from 0.3 to 0.5 mm, oil temperature from 30 ℃ to 70 ℃ and rate of pressure rise from 600 to 2400 MPa/s. Significant enhancement in seal life was observed with carbon composite back-up ring at reduced annular clearances compared to seal life with conventional PTFE back-up ring and without back-up rings.

Phase Transformations in ZrO_2 after Shock Loading

The effects of shock loading on the morphology,grain growth during heating and phase transforma- tion of ZrO_2 have been investigated.It is shown that shock loading may be efficiently used to modify submicron ceramic powders with nanocrystalline structure.After shock loading,the critical diameter of ZrO_2 particles transformed from tetragonal to monoclinic decreased due to stored strain energy. Annealing of powders resulted in reversible transformation to the tetragonal without considerable grain growth up to 1200℃.

Shock calculation based on second viscosity using local differentialquadrature method

Based on the second viscosity, the local differential quadrature （LDQ） method is applied to solve shock tube problems. It is shown that it is necessary to consider the second viscosity to calculate shocks and to simulate shock tubes based on the viscosity model. The roles of the shear viscous stress and the second viscous stress are checked. The results show that the viscosity model combined with the LDQ method can capture the main characteristics of shocks, and this technique is objective and simple.

Dynamic strength behavior of a Zr-based bulk metallic glass under shock loading

Dynamic strength behavior of Zr51Ti5NiloCu25A19 bulk metallic glass （BMG） up to 66 GPa was investigated in a series of plate impact shock-release and shock-reload experiments. Particle velocity profiles measured at the sample/LiF window interface were used to estimate the shear stress, shear modulus, and yield stress in shocked BMG. Beyond confirm- ing the previously reported strain-softening of shear stress during the shock loading process for BMGs, it is also shown that the softened Zr-BMG still has a high shear modulus and can support large yield stress when released or reloaded from the shocked state, and both the shear modulus and the yield stress appear as strain-hardening behaviors. The work provides a much clearer picture of the strength behavior of BMGs under shock loading, which is useful to comprehensively understand the plastic deformation mechanisms of BMGs.

Dynamic Spallation in Uranium under Laser Shock Loading

The spall behavior of uranium is investigated using direct laser ablation loading experiments. The uranium targets are cut and ground to 0.05 mm, 0.1 mm, and 0.15 mm in thickness. Laser energies are varied to yield a constant peak pressure. This results in different strain rates and varying degrees of damage to the uranium targets. The spall strength is calculated and analyzed from the free surface velocity histories recorded using a line velocity interferometer for any reflections system. The spall strength increases from 4.3 GPa to 9.4 GPa with strain rates ranging from 4.0 × 10~6 s^(-1) to 1.7 × 10~7 s^(-1). Post-mortem analysis is performed on the recovered samples, revealing the twin-matrix interfaces together with the inclusions to be the primary factor governing the spall fracture of uranium.

Plasticity and melting characteristics of metal Al with Ti-cluster under shock loading

Impurity agglomeration has a significant influence on shock response of metal materials.In this paper,the mechanism of Ti-clusters in metal Al under shock loading is investigated by non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations.Our results show that the Ti-cluster has obvious effects on the dislocation initiation and melting of bulk Al.First,the Ti clusters induces the strain concentrate and leads the dislocations to be initiated from the interface of Ti cluster.Second,dislocation distribution from the Ti-cluster model results in a formation of a grid-like structure,while the dislocation density is reduced compared with that from the perfect Al model.Third,the critical shock velocity of dislocation from the Ti-cluster model is lower than from perfect Al model.Furthermore,it is also found that the temperature near the interface of Ti-cluster is100 K–150 K higher than in the other areas,which means that Ti-cluster interface melts earlier than the bulk area.

Stress Analysis of Printed Circuit Board with Different Thickness and Composite Materials Under Shock Loading

In this study,the deformation and stress distribution of printed circuit board(PCB)with different thickness and composite materials under a shock loading were analyzed by the finite element analysis.The standard 8-layer PCB subjected to a shock loading 1500 g was evaluated first.Moreover,the finite element models of the PCB with different thickness by stacking various number of layers were discussed.In addition to changing thickness,the core material of PCB was replaced from woven E-glass/epoxy to woven carbon fiber/epoxy for structural enhancement.The non-linear material property of copper foil was considered in the analysis.The results indicated that a thicker PCB has lower stress in the copper foil in PCBs under the shock loading.The stress difference between the thicker PCB(2.6 mm)and thinner PCB(0.6 mm)is around 5%.Using woven carbon fiber/epoxy as core material could lower the stress of copper foil around 6.6%under the shock loading 1500 g for the PCB with 0.6 mm thickness.On the other hand,the stress level is under the failure strength of PCBs with carbon fiber/epoxy core layers and thickness 2.6 mm when the peak acceleration changes from 1500 g to 5000 g.This study could provide a reference for the design and proper applications of the PCB with different thickness and composite materials.

车用SLM成形DP780钢的疲劳损伤非线性电磁超声换能检测

为了提高对车用选区激光熔化(SLM)成形DP780钢的疲劳损伤检测精度,提出了一种基于非线性电磁超声换能的疲劳加载信号分析方法,通过高次谐波检测技术测定合金的损伤情况。研究结果表明:时域信号波形相对较为稳定,基波幅值在频率为5 MPa时出现,在5000次疲劳测试后,与初始试件相比,试样中产生信号的幅值更显著。非线性电磁超声换能检测很容易影响二次谐波的产生。二次谐波具有更高的幅值,大量疲劳裂纹存在于基体内部。本研究可满足精准检测疲劳损伤条件。在对疲劳损伤程度确定时,参考疲劳寿命和循环加载周次,超声非线性系数在周边测试点处增长幅度相对较小,中心测试点较大,主要原因是内部结构变形情况更明显。
