The objective of this paper is to model the high strain rate material behavior of metals using Bodner-Partom visco-plastic constitutive model. A unique algorithm has been developed to evaluate the model parameters from the split Hopkinson Bar and plane plate impact tests data. The model parameters were successfully determined for the 6061-T6 aluminum, 1020 steel, and HY 100 steel. Using the evaluated model parameters, the test data obtained from an unusually wide range of stress states for these three metals were successfully modeled.

Abstract An accuracy problem of strain measurement at compression split Hopkinson compression bar experiments with a splitting-beam laser extensometer was considered. The splitting-beam laser extensometer technique was developed by Nie et al. to measure strain of a specimen during its tension under a high strain rate loading condition. This novel concept was an inspiration for the authors to develop own laser extensometer system, which allows for simultaneous and independent measurement of displacement of bar ends between which a compressed material specimen is placed. In order to assess a metrological property of this measuring system, a wide range of high strain rate experiments were performed, including tests with various sample materials (Al 5251, Cu OFE) with different rate of strain, and with the use of two bars material. A high accuracy of the developed laser extensometer was found in measurement of specimen strain, for which uncertainty is not greater than 0.1% and, for a typical specimen dimension, the maximum permissible error is 4.5 μm.

To know the high strain rate behavior of aluminum alloy 7075 (AA7075) is very significant due to its vital uses in aviation, buildings, and automobile industries. Taylor impact test, projectile tests and split Hopkinson pressure bar are usually utilized to know the behavior of materials under high strain rate conditions. But due to lack of availabilities and very costly setups, various types of changes can’t be done easily. However, numerical simulation gives opportunity to observe the phenomena of materials under different conditions without much cost. This paper investigated the behavior of square shaped specimens of AA7075 under varying impact velocities of impact velocities of 20m/s-50m/s of square striker bar of SHPB using Abaqus. To understand the importance of shape, striker bar and specimen shape are varying from square to circular under dynamic conditions. Results obtained under varying conditions indicated that the material behavior strongly dependent to the strain rates, striker shapes and specimen shapes.

In this paper, ultra-fine grained copper fabricated by equal channel angular pressing method and annealed coarse grained copper were tensioned under both quasi-static and dynamic loading conditions using an electronic universal testing machine and the split Hopkinson tension bar respectively. The rapture surface of specimen was also observed via a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The experimental results show that the ductility of polycrystalline copper decreases remarkably due to the grain refinement. However, with the increase of applied strain rate, ductility of the UFG-Cu is enhanced. The fracture morphologies also give the evidence of enhanced ductility of UFG-Cu at high strain rate. It is believed the enhanced ductility of UFG materials at high strain rate can be attributed to the restrained dislocation dynamic recovery.

Studying the high strain rate behavior of soft tissues and soft tissue surrogates is of interest to improve the understanding of injury mechanisms during blast and impact events. Tests such as the split Hopkinson pressure bar have been successfully used to characterize material behavior at high strain rates under simple loading conditions. However, experiments involving more complex stress states are needed for the validation of constitutive models and numerical simulation techniques for fast transient events. In particular, for the case of ballistic injuries, controlled tests that can better reflect the effects induced by a penetrating projectile are of interest. This paper presents an experiment that tries to achieve that goal. The experimental setup involves a cylindrical test sample made of a translucent soft tissue surrogate that has a small pre-made cylindrical channel along its axis. A small caliber projectile is fired through the pre-made channel at representative speeds using an air rifle. High speed video is used in conjunction with specialized software to generate data for model validation. A Lagrangian Finite Element Method (FEM) model was prepared in ABAQUS/Explicit to simulate the experiments. Different hyperelastic constitutive models were explored to represent the behavior of the soft tissue surrogate and the required material properties were obtained from high strain rate test data reported in the open literature. The simulation results corresponding to each constitutive model considered were qualitatively compared against the experimental data for a single projectile speed. The constitutive model that provided the closest match was then used to perform an additional simulation at a different projectile velocity and quantitative comparisons between numerical and experimental results were made. The comparisons showed that the Marlow hyperelastic model available in ABAQUS/Explicit was able to produce a good representation of the soft tissue surrogate behavior observed experimentally at the two projectile speeds considered.

The present paper is concerned with constitutive modeling of the compressive stress-strain behavior of selected polymers at strain rates from 10-3 to 103/s using a modified Ramberg-Osgood equation. High strain-rate compressive stress-strain curves up to strains of nearly 0.08 for four different commercially available extruded polymers were determined on the standard split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB). The low and intermediate strain-rate compressive stress-strain relations were measured in an Instron testing machine. Six parameters in the modified Ramberg-Osgood equation were determined by fitting to the experimental stress-strain data using a least-squares fit. It was shown that the monotonic compressive stress-strain behavior over a wide range of strain rates can successfully be described by the modified Ramberg-Osgood constitutive model. The limitations of the model were discussed.
