Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The dynamic behavior of materials and structures is a vibrant branch of mechanics and materials science that has an important application background in aerospace, traffic engineering, and many other industry fields. With the rapid development of manufacturing technology in recent years, a series of advanced materials and structures with excellent properties have emerged, and their nonlinear mechanical behavior and multiscale failure mechanism under impact loads have attracted extensive attention.

The scope of this Special Issue includes theoretical, numerical, and experimental research on the dynamic mechanical behavior of additively manufactured metamaterials, high-entropy alloys, amorphous alloys, and some other advanced engineering materials and structures within a wide range of strain rates. The issue’s scope also includes investigations on multiscale design for protective properties of materials and structures under intense loading.

Hydraulic concrete is quite different from normal concrete in the terms of aggregate gradation and construction-induced interfaces. To explore their influences on the dynamic mechanical behaviors of hydraulic concrete, several mesoscale numerical models with different aggregate gradations and interfaces were established and subjected to dynamic compressive or tensile loadings. The results show that aggregate gradation significantly affected hydraulic concrete failure patterns under dynamic loads, but interface effects were less obvious, and stressing uniformity improved with an increasing loading rate. The dynamic compressive and tensile strengths of hydraulic concrete showed a strain rate effect independent of gradation, but decreased with larger coarse aggregates, especially at higher rates. Weak-bonding interfaces significantly reduced strength at low loading rates, with a more pronounced effect on tensile strength than compressive strength. The results of this study provide a theoretical basis for the application of hydraulic concrete containing large-size aggregates in practical engineering. Full article

This study examined the effects of heat treatment on the microstructure and dynamic deformation characteristics of AA2519 aluminum alloy in T4, T6, and T8 tempers under high strain rates of 1000–4000 s−1. A Split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) was utilized to characterize the mechanical response, and microstructural analysis was performed to examine the material’s microstructure. The findings indicated varied deformation across all three temper conditions. The dynamic behavior of each temper is influenced by its strength properties, which are determined by the aging type and the subsequent transformation of strengthening precipitates, along with the initial microstructure. At a strain rate of 1500 s−1, AA2519-T6 demonstrated a peak dynamic yield strength of 509 MPa and a flow stress of 667 MPa. These values are comparable to those recorded for AA2519-T8 at a strain rate of 3500 s−1. AA2519-T4 exhibited the lowest strength and flow stress characteristics. The T6 temper demonstrated initial stress collapse, dynamic strain aging, and an increased tendency for shear band formation and fracture within the defined strain rate range. The strain rates all showed similar trends in terms of strain hardening rate. The damage evolution of the alloy primarily involved the nucleation, shearing, and cracking of dispersoid particles.

Resilient mounts are essential for anti-vibration and shock absorption applications, making accurate predictions of their static and dynamic behaviors critical for effective design and mechanical performance. This study investigates static and dynamic characteristics of resilient mounts to predict their effects. Tension, compression, and shear tests were performed under quasi-static loading conditions to obtain stress-strain cycle curves. This study includes a review of the Yeoh hyperelastic model, which consists of three parameters, and discusses the calibration of these parameters to describe the hyperelastic material behavior. The parameters were validated through numerical analysis by comparing them with experimental results from quasi-static tests on the resilient mount. The dynamic behavior was further analyzed using modal analysis and frequency response simulations under various preload conditions. Results show that increasing preload significantly shifts the transmissibility curves and resonance peaks to lower frequencies. This study offers valuable insights into static and dynamic characteristics of resilient mounts, contributing to the design and optimization of vibration isolation systems for naval applications.

Porous materials are known for their excellent energy absorption capability and, thus, are widely used in anti-impact applications. However, how the pore shape and size impact the failure mechanism and overall behavior of the porous materials under impact loading is still unclear or limitedly touched. Instead of using homogeneous solids for the porous material model, pores with various shapes and sizes were implanted in a solid to establish the porous materials that have true porous structures, which permits exploration of the local failure mechanism. The results revealed that differently shaped holes have two different dominant deformation modes. And due to their different local stress distributions, they enter the plastic phase earlier and, thus, have higher specific energy absorption. Meanwhile, the model changes from hardening to a quasi-zero stiffness model as the hole size increases. The application of this work can be extended into the field of impact resistance. Full article
