Constitutive Behavior of Aluminum Alloy Sheet At High Strain Rates
(University of Waterloo, 2005)In this work, three aluminum sheet alloys, AA5754, AA5182 and AA6111, which are prime candidates for replacing mild steel in automobile structures, are tested in tension at quasi-static and high strain rates. <br /><br ... -
High Strain Rate Behaviour of Hot Formed Boron Steel with Tailored Properties
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-21)In an automotive crash event, hot stamped, die quenched martensitic structural components have been shown to provide excellent intrusion resistance. These alloys exhibit only limited ductility, however, which may limit the ... -
Soft Materials under Air Blast Loading and Their Effect on Primary Blast Injury
(University of Waterloo, 2009-12-07)Injury from blast is significant in both military and civilian environments. Although injuries from blast are well-documented, the mechanisms of injury are not well understood. Developing better protection requires knowledge ... -
Tensile High Strain Rate Behavior of AZ31B Magnesium Alloy Sheet
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-31)In an effort to improve the fuel efficiency of automobiles, car designers are investigating new materials to reduce the overall vehicle weight. Magnesium alloys are good candidates to achieve that weight reduction due in ...
