Pressure Bar

Hopkinson pressure bar apparatus is extensively used for the measurement of the dynamic fracture properties. For accurate measurement of the dynamic fracture properties we need to understand concepts and principles associated with the test setup. The understanding of stress wave in the bar and specimen is also very important. In the current work, ANSYS LS-DYNA software is used to simulate the propagation behavior of the time based loading and generation of stress wave. The stress and strain plots in the specimen and the incident bar are obtained as an output of the analysis. The analysis of the plots suggest that, for the same time duration the rising trend is observed for the plots of stress and strain of incident bar whereas a sine wave trend is observed for the plots in the specimen.

Crack Growth Velocity

The dynamic fracture properties of polypropylene/nylon-6 (PP/PA6) blends, with different weight fractions and different compatibilizars, are investigated by reflected dynamic caustics experiments. According to the shadow spot patterns around a moving crack tip, which are recorded during the dynamic fracture process, dynamic fracture toughness and crack growth velocity can be estimated to evaluate the fracture properties of polymer blends. Moreover, combined with microscopic observation, the damage mechanism of the polymer blends is discussed.
