Plate impact experiments to investigate shock-induced inelasticity in Westerly granite
In the present study, plate-impact experiments are employed to better understand the stress threshold for inelasticity in Westerly granite. The experiments are designed to obtain the Hugoniot Elastic Limit (HEL) as well as spall strength following shock-induced compression in the Westerly granite samples. The HEL for Westerly granite is estimated to be in the range 3.2 to 3.5 GPa, while the spa...
متن کاملSpall strength of a zirconium-based bulk metallic glass under shock-induced compression-and-shear loading
We present results of a series of plate-impact experiments conducted to understand spall threshold in a zirconium-based bulk metallic glass (BMG), Zr41.25Ti13.75Ni10Cu12.5Be22.5, following normal shock-induced compression and combined compression-and-shear loading. The experiments were conducted using a 82.5 mm bore single-stage gas-gun. A multibeam VALYN VISAR was used to measure the particle–...
متن کاملDispersion of Torsional Surface Wave in a Pre-Stressed Heterogeneous Layer Sandwiched Between Anisotropic Porous Half-Spaces Under Gravity
The study of surface waves in a layered media has their viable application in geophysical prospecting. This paper presents an analytical study on the dispersion of torsional surface wave in a pre-stressed heterogeneous layer sandwiched between a pre-stressed anisotropic porous semi-infinite medium and gravitating anisotropic porous half-space. The non-homogeneity within the intermediate layer a...
متن کاملFragmentation and Ejection of the Martian Clan Meteorites
I have used the SALE2D hydrocode to study spall in impacts into layered terrains. Application of my results to the problem of martiaji meteorite provenance resolves two outstanding paradoxes. First, the minimum size crater previously thought to be required to eject martian meteorites is so large (12 km) that it is highly unlikely such an event occurred on shergottite age terrain in the Icist fe...
متن کاملSolution of Wave Equations Near Seawalls by Finite Element Method
A 2D finite element model for the solution of wave equations is developed. The fluid is considered as incompressible and irrotational. This is a difficult mathematical problem to solve numerically as well as analytically because the condition of the dynamic boundary (Bernoulli’s equation) on the free surface is not fixed and varies with time. The finite element technique is applied to solve non...
