Experimental and microstructure analysis of the penetration resistance of composite structures
Composite structures (SiC/UHMWPE/TC4; SiC/TC4/UHMWPE) were designed using silicon carbide (SiC)ceramics, ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) laminate, and titanium alloys (TC4s).

HYBRID FINITE-DISCRETE ELEMENT MODELLING OF BLAST-INDUCED EXCAVATION DAMAGED ZONE IN THE TOP-HEADING OF DEEP TUNNELS [PDF]
A hybrid finite-discrete element method (FEM/DEM) is introduced to model the excavation damage zone induced by blast in a deep tunnel. The key components of the hybrid finite-discrete element method, i.e. transition from continuum to discontinuum through

A Probabilistic Damage Model of the Dynamic Fragmentation Process in Brittle Materials [PDF]
Abstract Dynamic fragmentation is observed in brittle materials such as ceramics, concrete, glass, or rocks submitted to impact or blast loadings. Under such loadings, high-stress-rate tensile fields develop within the target and produce fragmentations characterized by a high density of oriented cracks.

Experimental Technique for Dynamic Fragmentation of Liquid-Driving Expanding Ring
Expanding ring experiment is an important method for dynamic fragmentation of solid under 1D tensile loading. Based on the split Hokinson pressure bar (SHPB), a liquid-driving experimental technology was developed for conducting expanding ring tests. The

Spacetime simulation of dynamic fracture with crack closure and frictional sliding
We combine the asynchronous spacetime discontinuous Galerkin (aSDG) method, an interfacial-damage fracture model, and a dynamic contact model to simulate dynamic fracture and crack closure in brittle materials.

Fragmentation of brittle material by shock wave lithotripsy. Momentum transfer and inertia: a novel view on fragmentation mechanisms [PDF]
Shock wave lithotripsy is the only non-invasive stone therapy and in clinical use since 1980. In spite of decades with millions of patients treated, the mechanism of fragmentation is still under debate. Detailed knowledge of the fragmentation process is required for improvements regarding safety and efficiency.

Effects of material disorder on impact fragmentation of brittle spheres
Brittle materials have many excellent properties for structural applications, whereas the brittleness and disorder due to defects and micro-cracks cause failure. Fragmentation may occur and often lead to a catastrophic damage, bring dangers to the users especially when brittle materials suffer dynamic loads like impact and explosion.
