Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 12High Strain-Rate Deformation Analysis of Open-Cell Aluminium Foam(Elsevier, 2023) Mauko, Anja; Duarte, Isabel; Borovinšek, Matej; Vesenjak, Matej; Ren, Zoran; Sarıkaya, Mustafa; Güden, MustafaThis study investigated the high-strain rate mechanical properties of open-cell aluminium foam M-pore®. While previous research has examined the response of this type of foam under quasi-static and transitional dynamic loading conditions, there is a lack of knowledge about its behaviour under higher strain rates (transitional and shock loading regimes). To address this gap in understanding, cylindrical open-cell foam specimens were tested using a modified Direct Impact Hopkinson Bar (DIHB) apparatus over a wide range of strain rates, up to 93 m/s. The results showed a strong dependency of the foam's behaviour on the loading rate, with increased plateau stress and changes in deformation front formation and propagation at higher strain rates. The internal structure of the specimens was examined using X-ray micro-computed tomography (mCT). The mCT images were used to build simplified 3D numerical models of analysed aluminium foam specimens that were used in computational simulations of their behaviour under all experimentally tested loading regimes using LS-DYNA software. The overall agreement between the experimental and computational results was good enough to validate the built numerical models capable of correctly simulating the mechanical response of analysed aluminium foam at different loading rates. © 2023 The AuthorsArticle Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 13Masonry Buildings Subjected To Settlements: Half-Scale Testing, Detailed Measurements, and Insights Into Behaviour(Elsevier, 2023) Dalgıç, Korhan Deniz; Gülen, Burcu; Liu, Yiyan; Açıkgöz, Sinan; Burd, Harvey; Maraşlı, Muhammed; İlki, AlperIndustry procedures to assess the risk of settlement-induced damage to masonry buildings ignore key aspects of the problem, such as the influences of building weight, façade openings, and floor structures. Experimental data are needed to characterise the influence of these aspects on damage. This paper describes tests on three brick masonry half-scale building models subjected to settlements. The use of scaling rules in choosing the model materials and kentledge, the settlement apparatus, and the cross-validation of displacement and strain measurements are presented. Comparative evaluation of building responses show that: (i) the distribution of building weight and the resulting in-situ stresses play a key role in determining compliance to settlements, (ii) openings make the structure vulnerable to cracking and (iii) floor slabs stiffen and strengthen the building and prevent the formation of damage in the upper floors, leading to a concentration of damage at the ground storey.
