The room temperature tensile properties of iron with different purity levels (commercially pure, high-purity, and ultra-high-purity) were characterized at different strain rates in the framework of an international Round-Robin involving four laboratories (BAM, IMR-TU, NIST, and SCKCEN). The test results were collected and analyzed by NIST, and are presented in this Technical Note.
Data from all the participating laboratories were found in good agreement, thus allowing a clear assessment of the influence of strain rate and purity level on tensile properties (mechanical resistance and ductility). A clear increase of yield strength and, to a lesser extent, tensile strength was observed for all materials as strain rate increases and purity level decreases. The highest strain rate sensitivity was associated with the highest purity level (ultra-high-purity Fe). Ductility trends were less unequivocal, but typically an increase of elongation at fracture and reduction of area was detected as strain rate and purity level increase. Significant differences in tensile properties were observed between the two investigated types of high-purity Fe, which can be attributed to an influence of the production process in terms of melting environment (atmosphere and crucible), as well as differences in chemical compositions.
Within the presented research project, experimental and numerical investigations were performed to develop a thin-shelled, modular, mobile element system made of a micro-reinforced ultra-high-performance ductile concrete (DUCON®). Material parameters were experimentally determined to adapt the material model within the numerical analysis applying the Drucker-Prager relationship. Afterwards, for validation of the numerical models, quasi-static and high-velocity impact tests were performed on plate-like structures. Finally, a suitable geometry of transportable barrier elements will be designed, which provides a maximum of resistance against impact by a minimum of weight and a maximum of mobility.

Design and safety assessment of advanced ductile cast iron (DCI) components like wind turbines or transport and storage casks for radioactive materials require appropriate material data in terms of strength and fracture toughness. Therefore, it is of vital importance to characterize and understand the deformation, damage and fracture behaviour of DCI which may substantially change from ductile to brittle by increasing loading rate, decreasing temperature and/or increasing stress triaxiality. This paper reports on recent BAM inverstigations on different qualities of the widely used DCI grade EN-GJS-400 with varying pearlite shares (none and 18% respectively). The focus was on the influences of microstructure, temperature (ambient and -40 °C) and loading rate (quasi-static to crash) on strength (YS, UTS, flow curve) and fracture mechanical properties (R-curve, crack initiation toughness, fracture toughness). Systematic metallographical and fractographical analyses were performed accompanying the whole test program and a systematics of specific damage behaviour and fracture mechanisms was derived from the results.
