An Investigation on High Temperature Behavior of Laminate and Nanostructured Composite Materials

Abstract

Planar impact experiments are performed on preheated Ti-6A1-4V specimens at temperatures the range 25-550 C, to determine the role of thermal activation on dynamic stress induced inelasticity and damage. Measurements in this high temperature and high strain rate regima are made possible by modification of tbe standard plate impact facility to include heating capabilities. This paper describes In detail needed hardware and experimental procedure.
