Abstract
This paper investigates the penetration resistance of shape memory alloy fiber reinforced concrete (SMAFRC) in protection engineering. Tensile and temperature residual stress tests on SMA wires with different pre-strains revealed that increasing pre-strain enhanced the wire elastic modulus, yield strength, and recovery stress, while reducing its elongation at break. Through pull-out tests, a peak bond strength of 3.2 MPa was observed on SMA wires at a 5 % pre-strain, a 33.3 % increase compared to SMA wires without pre-strain. Furthermore, the compressive strength of SMAFRC incorporated with high fiber content even exceeded 300 MPa. Subsequently, penetration tests on SMAFRC with varying SMA fiber volume ratios (0 %–7 %) and pre-strains (0 %, 2.5 %, 5 %) revealed that a 3 % fiber volume ratio optimally enhanced penetration resistance. At this ratio, the crater area, volume, equivalent diameter, and residual velocity of the projectile were significantly reduced. Finally, a validated 3D mesoscale model showed that SMA fibers significantly improve the penetration resistance of concrete, making SMAFRC a promising high-performance material.
