Experimental Investigation into Spall of Carbon Phenolic Composites

Abstract:

The velocity history of free-surface particle for carbon phenolic composites (density is 1.4g/cm³) is obtained based on the loading technology of the light gas gun, the relationship between the striking velocity of flyer and the spall thickness as well as time is investigated. Besides, spall strength and thickness are obtained by analyzing the samples data and curves. The high pressure physical characteristics, such as type Hugoniot curve and Murnagham state equation for this material, are acquired by analyzing the velocity history of free-surface and spall characteristics. This study provides a methodology to quantify spall and physical characteristics for carbon phenolic composites under tensile wave loading.
