Investigation of the Thermomechanical Coupling Strength in Titanium Alloys
Recent Advances in Space Technologies, 2007. RAST '07. 3rd International Conference on
Modeling of the coupling between the mechanical and thermal fields is extremely important in the computational analysis of dynamic deformation processes. Fundamental physical quantity that governs this coupling is the fraction of plastic work converted into heat, i.e., beta factor. The present study describes an experimental procedure in which classical split-Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) technique is integrated with a high-speed IR detector-optics system that enables the direct measurement of…
Modeling of the coupling between the mechanical and thermal fields is extremely important in the computational analysis of dynamic deformation processes. Fundamental physical quantity that governs this coupling is the fraction of plastic work converted into heat, i.e., beta factor. The present study describes an experimental procedure in which classical split-Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) technique is integrated with a high-speed IR detector-optics system that enables the direct measurement of beta factor through high-strain-rate adiabatic experiments. Preliminary results for titanium alloys are reported and discussed.

Dynamic Behavior of a Laminated Balsa Beam under Impulsive Load
Engineering, Construction, and Operations in Challenging Environments: Earth & Space 2004
In this study, the dynamic response of a laminated beam is investigated experimentally and numerically. The beam was constructed using a balsa core and glass/epoxy facings. The boundary conditions are fixed at the one end and free at the other end. The tests were performed dropping a spherical mass on the free end of the beam. The dynamic strains were measured at two points on the beam. The beam was also modelled using the finite element method. The Ansys/LSDyna was used for modelling and the…

The Ansys/LSDyna was used for modelling and the analysis of the laminated beam. The experimental and numerical results are compared for the peak strain and frequency.
