コンクリート・ビームの衝撃特性

衝撃3点曲げ構成におけるコンクリート梁の衝撃試験のニーズが増えています。インストロンは、この試験に関して必要とされる最大エネルギーによって、9450 あるいは 9440 のどちらかを推奨しています。インストロンでは300 mmのスパンを有する特注の取付け具と専用タップインサートを開発し、データ収集用にDASとBluehill Impactソフトウェアを採用しました。

サンプルのサイズは400 mm x 100 mm x 100 mmで、最大速度4.65 m/sまでの試験を行いました。この速度は必要があれば増加させることが可能です。この試験では破壊モードが示されました。またこの試験は、実験室で行うことが可能な試験よりもはるかに大きいエネルギーの試験を必要とする大型構造物を模擬するように意図されました。比較した結果としては、全吸収エネルギー、最大荷重、破壊エネルギーおよび破壊変位がありした。

この9400シリーズは、衝撃荷重を受ける各種材料の性能特性のお客様による測定を手助けするのに非常に適しています。計装化衝撃試験を行うことにより収集される情報は、原材料の混合物における変更が、現実の状況下でどのように性能を発揮するかをお客様が判断することができるデータのベースラインを提供するために用いることができます。他の未だ対応していないスパンと衝撃状況を模擬するため、さまざまな温度において衝撃特性を調査するため環境チェンバーを装備し、また各種取付け具とインサートを用いることにより、さらに広範囲の試験を実施することができます。

Impact Performance of Composite Decking

Impact Performance of Composite Decking

Composite Decking
Composite Decking

The backyard deck has taken on an ever increasing role in our lives becoming an extension of a homes interior living space. Traditionally decks have been built from pressure treated lumber, however, cost, life cycle, appearance, construction time, maintenance and environmental concerns are all factors contributing to the huge growth in the use of wood–plastic composites, also known as composite decking.

Made from a wide ranging mixture of wood and plastic, composite decking has certain advantages like durability, color retention and reduced maintenance costs over pressure treated wood. With a material cost 20 to 30 percent more than pressure treated pine, impact performance can be critical. Decks are routinely subjected to a wide range of everyday impact events, dropped tools, patio furniture, ladders and paint cans to name a few, and the types and quantities of the various materials used in the manufacturing of the decking can affect their resistance to impacts.

When approached by a manufacturer of composite decking we recommended a Instron 9450 with optional High energy system, instrumented with a 22.2kN tup, ½” hemispherical tup insert, 1” spherical tup insert, Data Acquisition System and Bluehill Impact software. By varying the tup insert and test velocity we were able to create a range of impact profiles and energies that allowed the customer to simulate a wide variety of impacts that their product might be subjected to.

The 9450 is well suited for helping customers determine the performance characteristics of their materials when subjected to an impact event. The information gathered by doing instrumented impact testing can be used to provide the customer with a data baseline whereby they can determine how changes made in the mix of raw materials will perform in real life situations. A broader range of testing could be accomplished with the inclusion of an environmental chamber to study impact characteristics at different temperatures as well as using different fixtures and inserts to simulate other unsupported spans and impact events.

Drop Tower Impact Testing of Rocks and Stones

Drop Tower Impact Testing of Rocks and Stones

We have recently been in contact with a customer interested in a non-standard, but extremely interesting, way to perform impact tests. This company is specialized in the development of systems for selective fragmentation of various solids, especially in the mining and geosciences circuits. In these environments, improved methods for mineral comminution are continually being sought, pursuing the goal of achieving the required size reduction at a lower energy consumption level than conventional technology allows. Comminution is probably the largest energy consumer in most mine sites, with major implications for costs as well as environmental pollution. Applying different working conditions with their units they are able to pre-weak the rock or the stone to be comminuted. To understand how much their process is affecting the raw material, we suggest them a basic impact test by a means of a drop tower.

To help them to completely characterize the process, we have offer a 9450 drop tower equipped with a special support and a dedicated tup plus insert. The pre-weakened rock/stone will be placed for the test on the dedicated flat support. This support is connected to a reinforced adjustable height stand, which allows the proper positioning of the specimen for the impact. A dedicated tup, including a special reinforced flat insert, is used in combination with a reinforced tup-holder to impact the stone to be pulverized. Just selecting a specific mass and some basic test conditions (like the impact velocity or a drop height), it is possible to deliver on the specimen a well known amount of energy. The antirebound system is able to catch the tup preventing a second impact on the specimen. The weakened specimen will absorb a part of the impact energy fragmenting in many small pieces. The special box that is covering the impact area will allow to contain all pieces generated during the test, in order to perform further analysis and checks on the tested specimen.

To improve the understanding of the fragmenting process, is also possible to exchange the un-instrumented tup with a special one including a force sensor. The sensor, used in combination with a DAS and its related Bluehill software, will allow acquire the whole impact event and to perform more deeper analysis and studies.
