Abstract

Owing to the opaque nature of the laminated structures, traditional high-speed optical camera cannot be used to detect the dynamic process of sub-surface deformation. In this article, we report a study of using high speed X-ray imaging to study the high strain rate deformation in laminated Al structures. We used a Kolsky bar apparatus to apply dynamic compression and a high-speed synchrotron X-ray phase contrast imaging (PCI) setup to conduct the in situ X-ray imaging study. The in situ X-ray imaging captures the shock wave propagation in the laminated structures. After shock compression, we characterized the microstructures by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), which demonstrates an increase of dislocation density. The micro-pillar compression tests show that the yield strength at 0.2% offset of laminated Al-graphene composite has a significant increase of 67%, from 30 to 50 MPa, compared to laminate Al after shock loading.
