Numerical simulation enables a systematic analysis of major flow parameters such as jet velocity, turbulent kinetic energy as well as void fraction of cavitation. Experiments facilitate an objective assessment of surface morphology, micro hardness and surface roughness of the impinged samples. A comparison is implemented between submerged and non-submerged water jets. The results show that submerged water jet is characterized by low velocity magnitudes relative to non-submerged water jet at the same jet pressure. Shear effect serves as a key factor underlying the inception of cavitation in submerged water jet stream. Predicted annular shape of cavity zone is substantiated by local height distributions associated with experimentally obtained footprints. As jet pressure increases, joint contribution of jet kinetic energy and cavitation is demonstrated. While for non-submerged water jet, impingement force stems exclusively from flow velocity.展开更多

The duration of impact loading is within the range of 40-100 μS. The principle of SHTBT is based on the measurement and evaluation of impact loading that is common in high strain rate processes. Strain gauges are usually used to record impact loading. In this case, cylindrical capacitance detectors were used. Plastic deformation of metallic materials and alloys is a complex process that depends on a number of factors with the effect of strain rate being of particular importance. Dynamical tests are used for determination of mechanical properties; therefore, SHTBT is often used for these experiments. The present paper deals with possibilities of testing device for flat bars adapted at Hopkinson test. The aim of this work is concentrated on strain rate influence on 1.4301 austenitic steel, too.展开更多

However, high temperature effects post a strong shock wave may result in thermodynamic heterogeneities and failure to the original shock relations. In this paper, the shock relations are extended to take account of high-temperature effects. Comparison indicates that the present approach is more feasible than other analytical approaches to reflect the influence of γ heterogeneity on the post-shock parameters.展开更多
