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...

This study investigates the micro/nanostructural features and mechanical responses of a novel TiAl/Ti3Al/Al2O3 cermet fabricated by self-propagation high-temperature synthesis. The microscopic diagnosis was used to examine the material composition, phase distribution, and elemental concentration...

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....

The most common detrimental processes that lead to reduction in durability in reinforced concrete elements are shrinkage, sulphate attack and chloride attack. Shrinkage is a dimensional instability chiefly caused by a loss of moisture in the hydrating cement paste. Soluble sulphate ions take part...

Laboratory testing of rocks is traditionally carried out to determine the peak strength using the ISRM Suggested Methods or other suitable standards. However, it is well known that in low-porosity crystalline rocks there are at least three distinct stages of compressive loading that can be...

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...

Li, Haoyang, Shao, Chenwei, Rojas, David Funes, Ponga, Mauricio, Hogan, James D.
A study on the microstructure and composition, micro-hardness and strain-rate-dependent compressive behaviors, and the associated failure mechanisms of an ultra-light-weight Mg-Li-Al alloy were conducted. X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed a multi-phase material with...

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...
