Influence of confinement on granular penetration by impact.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study experimentally the influence of confinement on the penetration depth of impacting spheres into a granular medium contained in a finite cylindrical vessel. The presence of close lateral walls reduces the penetration depth, and the characteristic distance for these lateral wall effects is found to be of the order of one sphere diameter. The influence of the bottom wall is found to have a much shorter range.

Effect of Steel Confinement on Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Frame
The strength and ductility of concrete improve under multi-axial compressive stress due to confinement effect. Some parameters are effective for considering the confinement in concrete and various stress-strain models were developed by different researchers. Longitudinal and transverse reinforcement steels can influence on confinement in reinforced concrete members. In this paper, various stres...
متن کاملPenetration of a projectile by impact into a granular medium
When a solid sphere drops in a granular medium, an impact crater is created. The penetration of the projectile in the granular bed as a function of the impact energy is evaluated theoretically using a simple model including a friction law between the projectile and the grains, a viscous dissipation in the bed and a force from the collisions between the projectile and the granular material. This...
متن کاملProjectile interactions in granular impact cratering.
We present evidence for the interactions between a ball and the container boundaries, as well as between two balls, that are mediated by the granular medium during impact cratering. The presence of the bottom boundary affects the final penetration depth only for low drop heights with shallow filling, in which case, surprisingly, the penetration becomes deeper. By contrast the presence of the si...
متن کاملPenetration depth scaling for impact into wet granular packings.
We present experimental measurements of penetration depths for the impact of spheres into wetted granular media. We observe that the penetration depth in the liquid saturated case scales with projectile density, size, and drop height in a fashion consistent with the scaling observed in the dry case, but with smaller penetrations. Neither viscous drag nor density effects can explain the enhancem...
متن کاملModeling of impact cratering in granular media
We simulate penetration of large projectiles into dry granular media using two-dimensional soft particle molecular dynamics. We systematically vary the physical parameters of the projectile (density, size, impact energy). Our results confirm the recently observed scaling of the crater depth with impact energy as observed by Uehara et al. (2003) and the effect of constant deceleration of the bal...
