Abstract

Quasi-static tension tests, quasi-static compression tests and dynamic compression tests were conducted to investigate the mechanical properties, constitutive behaviors and failure criteria of aluminum-polytetrafluoroethylene-tungsten (Al-PTFE-W) reactive materials with W content from 20% to 80%. The analysis of the quasi-static test results indicated that the strength of the materials may be independent of the stress state and W content. However, the compression plasticity of the materials is significantly superior to its tension plasticity. W content has no obvious influence on the compression plasticity, while tension plasticity is extremely sensitive to W content. Dynamic compression test results demonstrated the strain rate strengthening effect and the thermal softening effect of the materials, yet the dynamic compression strengths and the strain rate sensitivities of the materials with different W content show no obvious difference. Based on the experimental results and numerical iteration, the Johnson–Cook constitutive (A, B, n, C and m) and failure parameters (D1~D5) were well determined. The research results will be useful for the numerical studies, design and application of reactive materials.
