The minimum required distance of the strain gauge on the transmitted bar of the split Hopkinson bar has been determined from the position of a metallic specimen via an explicit finite element analysis. The minimum required distance was determined when the strain-time profiles at r = 0, 0.5Ro and 1.0Ro, were coincident (r is the radial position and Ro is the radius of the bar.). The determined minimum required distance, f(x), is presented as a function of the relative specimen diameter to that of the bar (x = D/D0): j(x) = - 0.9385.x3 + 0.6624.x2 - 0.7459.x + 1.4478 (0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.9). This result demonstrates the Saint-Venant's principle of rapid dissipation of localized stress in transient loading. The result will be useful for the design/modification of the pseudo-one-dimensional impact instruments that utilise a stress pulse transmitted through the specimen. The result will also allow one to avoid unnecessarily remote strain gage position from the specimen.

Cellular materials such as wood are widely and advantageously used as shock absorbers in various transport applications. The design and manufacturing of structures made of these materials require the knowledge of their dynamic compressive properties at various strain rates and stress states. Therefore, it is challenging to conduct dynamic multiaxial stress state experiments and especially on split-Hopkinson pressure bar apparatus where stress hardening increases as a function of velocity. This paper presents the so-called verification and validation methodology for confining solutions dedicated to impact on viscoelastic split-Hopkinson pressure bar system with large diameter bars. The method is a hybrid approach combining finite element analysis and an original experimental validation. Based on finite element results, particular attention is given to the mass, the material and the geometry to minimize the confining device influence on the propagation of elastic waves and thus on the material response of the tested specimens. It is essential to avoid spurious reflected waves at the new interfaces of the system in order to ensure the validity of the experimentation. The numerically predicted solutions are experimentally validated and preliminary results in the context of dynamic loadings using wood material are presented.

In this paper, experimental and numerical results of an aluminum alloy’s mechanical behavior are discussed. Over a wide range of strain rates (10−4 s−1 ≤ έ ≤ 103 s−1) the influence of the loading impact, velocity and temperature on the dynamic response of the material was analyzed. The interface friction effect on the material’s dynamic response is examined using a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) in a high temperature experiment using finite element analysis (FEA). The effect of different friction conditions between the specimen and the transmitted/incident bars in the SHPB system was examined using cylinder bulk specimens and cylinder plates defined with four-layer configurations. The results of these tests alongside the presented numerical simulations allow a better understanding of the phenomenon and reduces (minimizes) errors during compression tests at high and low strain rates with temperatures ranging from 21 to 300 °C.

It is known that the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) technique has not been standardised yet. The standardised SHPB technique is necessary in order to provide guidelines for determining the intrinsic material properties. This paper examines whether consistent results can be achieved from various sets of SHPBs. Finite element analysis has been conducted using ANSYS/LS-DYNA. Numerical simulation of the round-robin tests was conducted to study the consistency of results for OFHC copper, which were obtained from three sets of apparatus, namely: 12.7 mm diameter SHPB made from the AISI 4140 steel, 13 mm diameter SHPB made from the high strength steel (HSS) and 14.5 mm diameter SHPB made from maraging steel 350 (AISI 18Ni). The current study shows that consistent flow stresses (within an acceptable error of 2.5%) were obtained from those three sets of SHPBs, which indicates the possibility of SHPB standardisation in the future.

The split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) is the most commonly used technique to characterize the dynamic behaviour of materials at very high strain rates. However, a classic single specimen test only generates a single stress-strain curve at the average strain rate of the test. This paper proposes three arrangements on the use of double specimens in SHPB compression testing. All waves propagating along the bars have been used to analyse the dynamic behaviour of the specimens. To simulate the test and predict its dynamic performance, an axisymmetric finite element analysis using LS-DYNA was conducted for the experiment using 13 mm bar diameter. The validity of the simulations was checked with experimental data from normal SHPB testing. Based on the simulations, the modified techniques are achievable and at least two stress-strain curves of materials can be extracted without violating the requirement of a valid SHPB test.

The Impact

In this paper, we make a research on the dynamic characteristics of a sphere material, mainly using golf as an example. Golf is composed of such as poly butadiene rubber or other synthetic rubber, ion resin, etc. and different viscoelastic materials. The viscoelastic characteristics of this material are selected as spectrometer for evaluation. However, the impact performance of the golf course materials cannot pass such a test to assess, because golf have great impact on the deformation and high strain rate viscoelastic spectrometer. On the other hand, the impact properties of the metal can be used to assess the split Hopkinson pressure bar. However, the rod is not suitable to be used to evaluate the strain wave interference and noise propagation in the impact properties of the polymer materials. Therefore, the split Hopkinson pressure bar has been modified to make it more applicable to the valuation of the polymer materials. The article is based on the concept of modified split Hopkinson pressure bar to make the golf impact evaluation of the performance materials.

Deformation and fracture of brittle materials, especially crack propagation, have drawn wide attention in recent years. But dynamic crack propagation under impact loading was not well understood. In this paper, we experimentally tested Brazilian disk (BD) fine sandstone specimens containing pre-cracks under cyclic impact loading by the Φ 74 mm diameter split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) test device. The pre-cracked specimens were named central straight through crack flattened Brazilian disk (CSCFBD). By using the low air-pressure loading conditions (0.1 MPa, equal to the impact velocity of 3.76 m/s), a series of dynamic impact tests were detected successfully, and the effects of pre-cracks on dynamic properties were analyzed. Experimental results show that the multiple cracks mostly initiate at/or near the pre-crack tips and then propagate in different paths and directions varying by inclination angles, leading to the ultimate failure. Compared to static or quasi-static loading, dynamic crack propagation and fracture behavior are obviously different. Furthermore, we characterized the crack propagation paths, directions, and fracture patterns and discussed the influences of the pre-cracks during the breakage process. We concluded that the results obtained are significant in investigating the failure mechanism and mechanical properties of brittle materials under impact loading.

An attempt is made to investigate the dynamic compressive response of multilayered specimens in bilayered and trilayered configurations, using a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) and finite element analysis. Two constituent metals comprising the multilayered configurations were Al 6063-T6 and IS 1570. Multiple stack sequences of trilayered and bilayered configurations were evaluated at three different sets of strain rates, namely, 500, 800, and 1000 s−1. The experiments revealed that even with the same constituent volume fraction, a change in the stacking sequence alters the overall dynamic constitutive response. This change becomes more evident, especially in the plastic zone. The finite element analysis was performed using abaqus/explicit. A three-dimensional (3D) model of the SHPB apparatus used in the experiments was generated and meshed using the hexahedral brick elements. Dissimilar material interfaces were assigned different dynamic coefficients of friction. The fundamental elastic one-dimensional (1D) wave theory was then utilized to evaluate the stress–strain response from the nodal strain histories of the bars. Predictions from the finite element simulations along with the experimental results are also presented in this study. For most cases, finite element predictions match well with the experiments.

Abstract The paper presents the results of the analysis of the striker shape impact on the shape of the mechanical elastic wave generated in the Hopkinson bar. The influence of the tensometer amplifier bandwidth on the stress-strain characteristics obtained in this method was analyzed too. For the purposes of analyzing under the computing environment ABAQUS / Explicit the test bench model was created, and then the analysis of the process of dynamic deformation of the specimen with specific mechanical parameters was carried out. Based on those tests, it was found that the geometry of the end of the striker has an effect on the form of the loading wave and the spectral width of the signal of that wave. Reduction of the striker end diameter reduces unwanted oscillations, however, adversely affects the time of strain rate stabilization. It was determined for the assumed test bench configuration that a tensometric measurement system with a bandwidth equal to 50 kHz is sufficient
