An attempt to explain strength increase due to high loading rates
Abstract Most materials such as steel, concrete, ceramics, polymers, etc. show an increase of strength due to high loading rates. A number of mathematical equations are available to describe this behaviour. Nevertheless the physical reasons for these observations are still unknown. The common behaviour of a number of materials leads to the assumption that at least some explanations are material independent. Due to this reason the results of the research done at the Institute for Concrete Structures in Karlsruhe are presented in this paper to furnish new ideas for the material research due to dynamic loading.
A study of the factors which affect the fold kinematic activities has been presented,through the design analysis,the sensitivity of acceleration vs.design was obtained.According to the sensitivity,the lengths of linkage and crank were determined as design variables.The optimization technique was applied to an ADAMS Model so as to minimize the value of acceleration.The result showed that the value of jerk was also improved while the value of acceleration was optimizing.It will improve the vibration properties and be the foundation of dynamics simulation later on.
