Abstract

A multi-control-volume method is developed to predict the wave velocities and stresses in the elastic and plastic regions of layered composites. From the method, the wave velocities and stresses may be calculated from the constitutive relations of its constituents. The inter facial shearing force may then be computed. Two composites, B/Al and graphite/C-7 epoxy, have been used for sample calculations. The results from the B/Al composite indicate that the elastic and plastic waves may merge to form a shock at large impact velocities. 11 ref.--AA.
