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...

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...
