Abstract

Reverse Taylor anvil-on-rod impact experiments were conducted on Al+Fe2O3+30% epoxy composites to measure their viscoelastic and fracture response to dynamic loading. Impact velocities ranged from 80 to 200 m/s. High-speed camera images capturing transient deformation reveal these materials exhibit significant elastic recovery in both the longitudinal and radial directions. Images were time synchronized with free surface velocity measurements, using VISAR, to track elastic/plastic wave interactions attributed to the material’s dynamic loading response. Some specimens underwent brittle fracture once a critical areal strain was exceeded while the axial strain response appeared unaltered.
