Dynamic Mechanical Behavior of Ice Reinforced with Cotton Fiber for Hail Impact Simulation
摘要
The dynamic mechanical behavior of ice is critical for designing hail-proof aerospace structures, as its compressive strength exhibits strong strain rate dependency. This study investigates the behavior of ice reinforced with varying cotton fiber content (0%, 3%, 6%, 9%, and 12%) under dynamic loading conditions using a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) apparatus at strain rates ranging from 300/s to 4000/s. Experimental results demonstrate a positive correlation between cotton fiber content, strain rate, and compressive strength. Fiber-reinforced ice exhibits enhanced toughness and ductility compared to pure ice, with reinforced samples displaying three distinct deformation stages: linear elastic response, yield softening, and plateau region. These findings provide essential experimental data and a robust theoretical foundation for enhancing aerospace structures' resistance to hail impact damage.
