Dynamic Fragmentation of Planetary Materials: Sub-Hypervelocity Ejecta Measurements and Velocity Scaling during Impact Testing
Download2013-01-01
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....

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...

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...

The effects of defects on the uniaxial compressive strength and failure of an advanced ceramic
Download2016
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...
