Characterization of Swaged Aluminum Samples For Fragmentation​

Team: #11 Grant Chen

Program:

Materials Science and Engineering

Project Description:

The main purpose of this work is to inform fragmentation models for experiments conducted at high strain rates, such as during a hypervelocity impact. As a team, we seek to establish a link between the quasi-static mechanical testing done in this project and the higher-rate dynamic testing done at HEMI’s Hypervelocity Facility for Impact Research Experiments. A secondary motivation for this research is to investigate powder compacts via swaging, as previous work with cold or hot isostatic pressing yielded materials with very brittle mechanical properties.
