Abstract:This paper presents the efficient energy absorption of magnesium alloy AZ31B with reinforcement carbon nanotubes (CNT) and lead (Pb). The high specific energy absorption demonstrated by CNT compared to metals is one of the criteria to improve the AZ31B performance against ballistic penetration. More ductility by adding Pb in the alloy also plays a vital role to increase the energy absorption capability. Four-cylinder shape AZ31B-based specimens are tested dynamically by using compression Split Hopkinson Pressu… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
