Dynamic fragmentation of shells: scale effects

Fragmentation of shells.

We present a theoretical and experimental study of the fragmentation of closed thin shells made of a disordered brittle material. Experiments were performed on brown and white hen egg shells under two different loading conditions: impact with a hard wall and explosion by a combustible mixture. Both give rise to power law fragment size distributions. A three-dimensional discrete element model of...

Study on the Fragmentation of Shells

Fragmentation can be observed in nature and in everyday life on a wide range of length scales and for all kinds of technical applications. Most studies on dynamic failure focus on the behaviour of bulk systems in one, two and three dimensions under impact and explosive loading, showing universal power law behaviour of fragment size distribution. However, hardly any studies have been devoted to ...

Dynamic Photoelastic Validation of Large Scale Fracture and Fragmentation Simulations

A detailed experimental and numerical investigation has been performed to validate large scale numerical simulations of dynamic crack propagation, branching, deflection, and penetration at interfaces in brittle homogeneous materials. High-speed photography in conjunction with the dynamic photoelasticity has been used to observe real-time failure mode transition mechanism at the interfaces. Wedg...

dynamic coloring of graph

در این پایان نامه رنگ آمیزی دینامیکی یک گراف را بیان و مطالعه می کنیم. یک –kرنگ آمیزی سره ی رأسی گراف g را رنگ آمیزی دینامیکی می نامند اگر در همسایه های هر رأس v?v(g) با درجه ی حداقل 2، حداقل 2 رنگ متفاوت ظاهر شوند. کوچکترین عدد صحیح k، به طوری که g دارای –kرنگ آمیزی دینامیکی باشد را عدد رنگی دینامیکی g می نامند و آنرا با نماد ?_2 (g) نمایش می دهند. مونت گمری حدس زده است که تمام گراف های منتظم ...
