Numerical and experimental study of impact on hyperelastic rubber panels

Abstract

This study presents the response of rubber panels subjected to high velocity impact loading. The vulcanization characteristics of compositions have been obtained by using rheometer and the panels have been prepared at the appropriate temperature and pressure. The mechanical properties and impact performance of rubber panels is altered by the variation of compound ingredients. To investigate the effect of compound ingredients, two types of rubber panel have been prepared and mechanical properties and impact resistance of the panels have been measured by high velocity impact tests. A finite element simulation has been performed to investigate numerically the ballistic performance of rubber panels. Rubber panels was modeled by using LS-DYNA software and employing the experimental results of tensile test to characterize the behavior of rubber panel. The findings reveal a good agreement between numerical and experimental data. According to Experimental results, the ballistic limit of low and high hardness rubber panels was 80 and 94 m/s respectively that shows energy absorption of rubber panels increases as filler loading increases.

Impact response of Kevlar/rubber composite

“…The maximum principal strain was used as the failure criterion of the rubber. The pure rubber panel was modeled by LS-DYNA, and impact response of panel was simulated and verified by our pervious experimental work [29].…”

Recent Developments in the Plant‐Mediated Green Synthesis of Ag‐Based Nanoparticles for Environmental and Catalytic Applications

“…In 2017, a green and mild method was described by Khodadadi for the synthesis of Ag/Hazelnut shell nanocomposite using Origanum vulgare leaf extract as a reductant and stabilizer agent in the absence of any surfactant. [173] The nanocomposite was prepared via reduction of Ag + ions to Ag NPs using the hydroxyl groups of the phenolics present in the extract and their immobilization on Hazelnut shell surface as an environmentally benign support. The nanocomposite [174] The biosynthesized Ag NPs with an average size of 35 nm showed high activity in the degradation of MB in the presence of NaBH 4 .…”

Experimental and numerical investigation of the impact response of elastomer layered fiber metal laminates (EFMLs)

“…Grujicic et al [12] have simulated this behavior numerically. Khodadadi et al [13] investigated the perforation behavior of hyper elastic rubber panels and concluded that the higher amount of elastomer hardness could lead to its better perforation resistance.…”
