Stickle, Angela, Hogan, James, Kimberley, Jamie, Ramesh, K.T.
Modeling of catastrophic disruption requires understanding the processes of dynamic failure and fragmentation. This paper summarizes current mechanisms and models for dynamic failure, strength, and fragmentation, reviewing these from a mechanics perspective and with an emphasis on making links to...

Farbaniec, Lukasz, Hogan, James D., McCauley, James W., Ramesh, Kaliat T.
Effects of microstructure and material properties on the mechanical behavior of hot-pressed boron carbide are presented. The microstructure and intrinsic microstructural inhomogeneities have been characterized using scanning electron microscopy characterization techniques (SEM/EDS/EBSD). In-situ...

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...

Plescia, Jeffrey, Ramesh, K.T., Hogan, James, Kimberley, Jamie, Hazeli, Kavan
Knowledge of the relationships between microstructure, stress-state and failure mechanisms is important in the development and validation of numerical models simulating large-scale impact events. In this study, we investigate the effects of microstructural constituent phases and defects on the...

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...

Farbaniec, Lukasz, Chapman, David J., Patten, Jack R.W., Smith, Liam C., Hogan, James D., Rack, Alexander, Eakins, Daniel
The relationship between the dynamic mechanical properties of stony meteorites and their microstructures was investigated in-situ for an L-type ordinary chondrite using a split-Hopkinson pressure bar apparatus and ultra-high speed phase-contrast X-ray radiography at the European Synchrotron...

Ramesh, K.T., Farbaniec, Lukasz, Hogan, James
Brittle failure in boron carbide has been studied in dynamic uniaxial compression using a Kolsky bar technique. A detailed study of fragments was performed using SEM-EDS, to identify the mechanisms responsible for failure. Microstructural characterization and fracture surface observations...

Dynamic brittle fragmentation is typically described using analytical and computational approaches for tensile stress-states. However, most fragmentation applications (e.g., impact, blast) involve very large initial compressive stresses and deformations. In this study, the compressive...

Krimsky, Erez, Ramesh, K.T., Bratcher, M., Foster, M., Hogan, James D.
An understanding of the dynamic failure of damaged ceramics is important in protection applications, where the interaction of the projectile with cracked material is a contributing factor in the overall system performance. In this paper, we investigate the effects of pre-existing internal cracks...

Ramesh, K., Farbaniec, Lukasz, Hogan, James D., Sano, Tomoko, Shaeffer, Matthew
This study investigates the effects of the processing-induced defect population on the dynamic compressive strength and failure of a hot-pressed boron carbide. Quantitative microscopic analysis was used to determine the distributions of three types of processing-induced inhomogeneities: aluminum...
