The effects of axial length on the fracture and fragmentation of expanding rings
Rings of Ti-6Al-4V with aspect ratios (wall thickness:axial length) of 1 : 1, 1 : 2 and 1 : 4 have been expanded to failure at radial strain rates εr ∼ 1 × 104 s−1 using 4340 (EN24T) steel and Cu-ETP cylindrical drivers containing a column of RDX. Expansion velocity was measured using VISAR enabling...
