Shock compression of granular materials features prominently in manufacturing, defense, and planetary sciences. A significant amount of the total energy used to shock-compress powders is consumed in plasticity-induced pore collapse (Meyers 1999) followed by deformation of the grains. In this work, X-ray phase contrast…
In this study, the blast response of hybrid-fibre engineered cementitious composite (HFECC) panels is experimentally and numerically evaluated. For blast testing, HFECC and normal reinforced concrete (NRC) panels were tested under contact explosions generated by Plastic Explosive 4 (PE4) on a demolition range. The…
Particle arrangement plays a crucial role in determining the behavior of granular materials, influencing stress distribution and particle movement within the system. Despite the significance of considering particle arrangements, their impact on granular materials under shock compaction remains inadequately explored. To investigate the influence…
