The dynamic response of Etnean sand and the effect of its impingement on Ti-6Al-4 V alloy

Quasi static and dynamic experiments were conducted to characterise the mechanical response of Etnean volcanic sand. Stress and strain histories were measured in near-uniaxial strain and near-uniaxial stress conditions at strain rates ranging between 5·10 −4 and 1.5·10 3 s −1 using bespoke experi...

الملخص:Quasi static and dynamic experiments were conducted to characterise the mechanical response of Etnean volcanic sand. Stress and strain histories were measured in near-uniaxial strain and near-uniaxial stress conditions at strain rates ranging between 5·10 −4 and 1.5·10 3 s −1 using bespoke experimental setups. The effects of the lateral confinement and initial consolidation state were assessed. Etnean volcanic sand exhibited a noticeable strain rate dependent behaviour when characterised in its loose consolidation state but not when densely packed before loading. The effect of volcanic particles impingement on Ti-6Al-4 V alloy was assessed by conducting dynamic experiments at different incident angles using targets of different geometry. The texture of thus eroded surfaces was analyzed by means of non-contact 3D-profilometry. The surface analysis provided insights on the erosion mechanisms and quantitative data on the roughness increment caused by the collision and rubbing with volcanic sand.
