Abstract

The behavior of a poly(ethylene glycol)-based nanocomposite shear thickening fluid (STF) under impact loading conditions has been experimentally studied using the Kolsky method and related techniques. The dependence of the pressure in the STF on the volume strain magnitude has been determined. It is established that the radial and axial components of the stress tensor almost coincide, which shows that the material behaves like an incompressible liquid. The character of the stress-strain curves (hysteresis) indicates that the STF is characterized by some energy dissipation in the load-unload cycle.
