Abstract:
A new steel-concrete-steel panel with front aluminum foam layer and rear energy absorbing connector (SCS-FLEAC) was firstly developed. The dynamic behavior of SCS-FL-EAC was studied through conducting drop-weight impact tests. Three stages of impact process of SCS-FL-EAC were identified. The aluminum foam layer and energy absorbing connector were crushed under impact loading. The aluminum foam layer reached densification, and a local indention was observed beneath the projectile. Plastic hinges were also found at the corners of the pleated steel plate of the energy absorbing connector. The SCS panel exhibited the combination of bi-linear global flexural deformation and local deformation. Furthermore, the effects of aluminum foam layer on the impact resistant performances of SCS-FL-EAC were investigated. The results indicated that the inclusion of the aluminum foam layer effectively mitigated inertial effects and reduced the maximum impact force. Additionally, the SCSFL-EAC demonstrated improved impact-resistant performances with an increased thickness of the aluminum foam layer. Furthermore, an analytical model was proposed to predict the force and displacement responses of SCS-FL-EAC subjected to impact load, and the predicted impact responses showed good agreement with experimental results.
