Dynamic Response Behaviours of Al2O3 Ceramics with Different Grain Sizes under SHPB Compression Loading

Article Preview

Abstract:

Alumina is the most promising ceramic armor material and SHPB testing is typically used to investigate dynamic deformation behaviour and ballistic mechanisms. In this research the effect of the incident wave shaping technique on the stress equilibrium state during testing was analysed. The compressive strength of alumina ceramic materials was evaluated under high strain rate compressive loads of 1200-1800/s. The SHPB compression strength was found to increase with decreasing grain size to a maximum of 3.80±0.25 GPa, and the ceramic materials studied exhibited high strain-rate sensitive mechanical properties due to crack tip inertia effects.
