    Quasi-Static and Dynamic Crushing of Empty and Foam-Filled Tubes
    (Springer Verlag, 2001) Hall, Ian W.; Ebil, Özgenç; Güden, Mustafa; Yu, C.-J.
    Metallic foam-filled tubes and their empty counterparts have been tested at quasi-static and dynamic strain rates in order to determine their energy absorption capabilities. Data from the Split-Hopkinson Pressure Bar have been used to generate force vs. displacement curves that are somewhat analogous to pseudo-engineering stress-strain curves. Force balance calculations have also been made. These results indicate that, on an equal weight basis, foam-filled tubes offer greater energy absorption capability than empty tubes at quasi-static strain rates. However, the benefit of foam filling does not appear to be extended to strain rates of the order of 200–500 s−1. Force balance calculations are shown to have potential as a method for monitoring the crushing of metallic foams at high strain rate.

    Quasi-Static and Dynamic Compression Behaviour of an Fptm Alumina-Reinforced Aluminium Metal Matrix Composite
    (Springer Verlag, 1998) Güden, Mustafa; Hall, Ian W.
    An aluminium metal matrix composite reinforced with continuous unidirectional α-alumina fibres has been compression tested at quasi-static and dynamic strain rates. In the transverse direction, the composite showed increasing flow stress (at 5% strain) and maximum stress within the studied strain rates, 10−3−3 × 103 s−1. In the longitudinal direction, the maximum stress of the composite increased similarly with increasing strain rates within the range 10−5−7 × 102 s−1. It is shown that, if brooming of the sample ends can be suppressed, the failure stress of the composite in longitudinal compression increases significantly. Metallographic observations reveal the typical modes of damage initiation in the composite.
