Va. Ogorodnikov et al., EFFECT OF SIZE, MANUFACTURING AND PRESTRAIN ON HIGH-RATE FAILURE (SPALL) OF PT-3V TITANIUM-ALLOY AND 12KH18N10T STEEL, Combustion, explosion, and shock waves, 31(6), 1995, pp. 726-733
Experimental results are presented on the spall strength of PT-3V tita
nium alloy and 12Kh18N10T steel as the system size is changed by a fac
tor of five. The effects of a 0.5-5% dynamic prestrain and of the dire
ction of the load relative to the manufacturing rolling direction on s
pall failure were also studied for the titanium alloy. It was establis
hed that failure of these metals under high-rate one-dimensional strai
n shows significant energy-related size effects. Effects of the rollin
g direction and prestrain were less pronounced for the titanium alloy
than for steel.
