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...

Dynamic Fragmentation of Planetary Materials: Sub-Hypervelocity Ejecta Measurements and Velocity Scaling during Impact Testing

Hogan, James, Vincent, Gregory, Spray, John, Rogers, Robert, Schneider, Markus
Ejecta velocity measurements were made during impacts into solid planetary materials. Ejecta velocity fields overlie each other when normalized by vmax, v50%mass, and v50%KE; these correspond to the maximum velocity and median values of mass and kinetic energy among ejecta velocities....

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...

Farid, Hannaneh Manafi, McDonald, André, Hogan, James David
This study explores the role of porosity in the impact deposition of a ceramic-reinforced metal-matrix (i.e., Al/B4 C) composite coating fabricated via cold spraying. The Johnson–Holmquist–Beissel constitutive law and the modified Gurson–Tvergaard–Needleman model were used to describe the high...

Micromechanisms Associated with the Dynamic Compressive Failure of Hot-Pressed Boron Carbide
Download2015
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...

Farbaniec, Lukasz, Daphalapurkar, Nitin, Ramesh, K.T., Hogan, James
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...

On the evaluation of mechanical properties and ballistic performance of two variants of boron carbide
Download2021-06-01
Lo, Calvin, Li, Haoyang, Toussaint, Geneviève, Hogan, James D.
A comparative study on the microstructure, rate-dependent compressive behavior, and ballistic performance of commercially available pressureless sintered boron carbide-titanium diboride (material Z) and hot-pressed boron carbide (material S) was conducted. Under quasi-static compression at rates...

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...

Nicewicz, Piotr, Peciar, Peter, Macho, Oliver, Sano, Tomoko, Hogan, James D.
The quasi-static confined uniaxial compaction of granular alumina and boron carbide was studied, and the effect of triaxial stress on the materials as a function of increasing particle size was observed. The average particle sizes studied for granular alumina were 170 ± 63, 230 ± 55, 330 ± 67,...
