The paper reviews some salient research works on load characterization and structural
response of thin walled metallic structures subjected to Underwater Explosion (UNDEX) …

This study investigates the ballistic impact response of two armor steels (Armox Advance
and Ramor 500) and a structural wear-resistant steel (Hardox 450) in monolithic, double …

The mechanical properties of transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) steels are attractive in
many applications that benefit from high work hardening and high total elongation. Under …

Previous comparisons to vast amount of experimental data have shown that the specific
cavitation energy of target material, which takes into account the hole slenderness ratio …

Searching for lighter protective structure and better energy absorption material is the key
goal to improve the protection performance of moving platforms. The impact performance of …

In this study, modifying the austenitizing temperature offers a strategically viable way
towards creating blocky retained austenite (BRA) with varying sizes and morphologies in …

This paper investigates the fracture process featured wide triaxiality range (− 0.1, 2/3), with
varied fracture mode observed by fractography. The micro fracture mode changes from …

While several different specimen geometries are typically required to calibrate a ductile
fracture locus model, this article presents for the first time a calibration methodology that …

In this work, we develop and study a ductile damage model for thermoviscoplastic metallic
materials taking into account void growth, thermal softening and heat conduction. The novel …

This study investigates and models the effect of Lode angle on the yielding and hardening
behaviors of a forged Ti6Al4V alloy across a wide range of stress states. The as-received …
