Abstract IN CONTRAST to the ordinary standard procedure at low speed, various methods have been devised to carry out tensile tests of rubber under rapid application of load, with the purpose of securing more definite indications, at a speed in agreement with actual performance. The application of those methods to the study of the tensile properties of rubber stocks goes as far back as 1910, when Beadle and Stevens (1) made use of the pendulum to investigate these properties. Their work applied to rubber compounds of different compositions and different loadings. More recently, Van Rossem and Beverdam (2) presented a set of results tending to prove an optimum in the tensile properties, coinciding with the best cure as determined by practical observation. However, all experiments, previous to those here reported, are limited to the determination of the tensile strength of rubber, and no attempt was made to extend the investigations to the determination of the resistance of rubber at different elongations. The machine here illustrated is designed to measure not only the energy absorbed at break, under conditions of high speed, by impact, but also the stress-strain relation.

The dynamic constitutive behaviors of concrete-like materials are of vital importance for structure designing under impact loading conditions. This study proposes a new method to evaluate the constitutive behaviors of ordinary concrete at high strain rates. The proposed method combines the Lagrangian-inverse analysis method with optical techniques (ultra-high-speed camera and digital image correlation techniques). The proposed method is validated against finite-element simulation. Spalling tests were conducted on concretes where optical techniques were employed to obtain the high-frequency spatial and temporal displacement data. We then obtained stress–strain curves of concrete by applying the proposed method on the results of spalling tests. The results show non-linear constitutive behaviors in these stress–strain curves. These non-linear constitutive behaviors can be possibly explained by local heterogeneity of concrete. The proposed method provides an alternative mean to access the dynamic constitutive behaviors which can help future structure designing of concrete-like materials.

The combined experimental and theoretical approach was applied to the study of high-speed deformation and fracture of the 1810 stainless steel. The material tests were performed using a split Hopkinson pressure bar to determine dynamic stress-strain curves, strain rate histories, plastic properties and fracture in the strain rate range of 102 ÷ 104 s-1. A scheme has been realized for obtaining a direct tensile load in the SHPB, using a tubular striker and a gas gun of a simple design. The parameters of the Johnson-Cook material model were identified using the experimental results obtained. Using a series of verification experiments under various types of stress-strain state, the degree of reliability of the identified mathematical model of the behavior of the material studied was determined.

Abstract A model is made up of elastoplastic elements, all of which have the same value of Young’s modulus E, but which have different values of yield stress. It is shown that the dimensionless tangent modulus graph Et/E represents the cumulative frequency distribution of those elements which are in the elastic region. From the frequency distribution, the equations for the stress-strain diagram and the hysteresis loop can be written.
