Parsazadeh, Mohammad, Fisher, Gary, McDonald, André, Hogan, James D.

Abrasive wear was simulated for tungsten carbide-nickel (WC–Ni) composite coatings with different volume fractions of reinforcing particles under abrasive cyclic loading. Using parallelized computing approaches, for the first time in the literature, the effects of reinforcing particle and normal...

Nicewicz, P., Sano, T., Hogan, James D.

The quasi-static compaction response of granular stainless steel 316 was studied under triaxial loading conditions using a confined crucible experiment apparatus, specifically looking at effects of the particle size (127 ± 34 μm, 309 ± 88 μm, 487 ± 98 μm)on mechanical behavior. The material...

Farbaniec, L., Hogan, James D., Xie, K.Y., Shaeffer, M., Hemker, K.J., Ramesh, K.T.

The dynamic response of hot-pressed boron carbide was studied under uniaxial and confined loading conditions using a modified compression Kolsky bar setup at strain rates of 102 – 103 s–1. The progression of damage in the prismatic specimens was captured using a high-speed camera. This...

Lo, Calvin, Sano, Tomoko, Hogan, James D.

We investigated the uniaxial compressive behavior of damaged and intact alumina using quantitative X-ray computed tomography (XCT) analysis coupled with digital image correlation (DIC) for mechanical characterization. Internal three-dimensional crack characteristics such as crack surface area and...

Bhagavathula, Kapil Bharadwaj, Meredith, Christopher S., Ouellet, Simon, Romanyk, Dan L., Hogan, James D.

This study presents a comprehensive experimental study of the evolution of Poisson’s ratio and tangent modulus of polymeric foams during rate dependant uniaxial compression. In this study, polyurethane foams with densities of 195 kg/m3, 244 kg/m3, and 405 kg/m3 obtained from PORON (XRD series)...

Pisavadia, Harshil, Asad, Asad, Sameoto, Dan, Dolez, Patricia, Hogan, James D.

This work utilizes predictive modeling techniques to guide and inform metamaterial design for heat management solutions and thermal radiation control. Specifically, micro- and macro-scale polyethylene-based solutions are proposed for passive and active thermal camouflage. A micro-scale post...

Koch, Brendan M.L., Lo, Calvin, Li, Haoyang, Sano, Tomoko, Ligda, Jonathan, Hogan, James D.

This paper explores the compressive responses of alumina ceramics subjected to various levels of pre-damage via internal cracking. Pre-damage is achieved by subjecting the samples to thermal shock. Mechanical loading is performed using a load frame for quasi-static strain rates and a Kolsky bar...

Hogan, James D., Farbaniec, Lukasz, Mallick, Debjoy, Domnich, Vladislav, Kuwelkar, Kanak, Sano, Tomoko, McCauley, James W., Ramesh, Kaliat T.

In this paper, the impact-induced fragmentation of a commercially available hot-pressed boron carbide is explored. Fragmentation has been noted previously by many authors to be important in the impact performance of advanced ceramics, and so this paper seeks to provide some of the first...
