The results of compressive strain-rate tests on 6061-T6 aluminum, 7075-T6 aluminum, 6Al-4V titanium fully annealed, pyrolytic graphite, lucite, and micarta for rates of loading of 10−3 to 104 in/in/sec are presented. A medium strain-rate machine and a split Hopkinson bar apparatus used to conduct these tests are described, and the principle of operation, data-reduction methods, and a critique of techniques are given for each machine. Results of the tests show that the two aluminums exhibit no strain-rate sensitivity over the rates tested. Titanium, lucite, and micarta are rate sensitive with the titanium exhibiting a delayed yield and the lucite and micarta showing viscoelastic behavior. The pyrolytic graphite shows little rate sensitivity below 10 in/in/sec and slight sensitivity above this rate.

Additive manufacturing by Selective Laser Melting of metals is attracting substantial attention, due to its advantages, such as short-time production of customized structures. This technique is useful for building complex components using a metallic pre-alloyed powder. One of the most used materials in AMSLM is AlSi10Mg powder. Additively manufactured AlSi10Mg may be used as a structural material and it static mechanical properties were widely investigated. Properties in the strain rates of 5×102–1.6×103 s-1 and at higher strain rates of 5×103 –105 s-1 have been also reported. The aim of this study is investigation of dynamic properties in the 7×102–8×103 s-1 strain rate range, using the split Hopkinson pressure bar technique. It was found that the dynamic properties at strain-rates of 1×103–3×103 s-1 depend on a build direction and affected by heat treatment. At higher and lower strain-rates the effect of build direction is limited. The anisotropic nature of the material was determined by the ellipticity of samples after the SHPB test. No strain rate sensitivity was observed.

Rate Behaviour

An investigation into the mechanical behaviour of iron and nickel at high strain rates is carried out, using a split Hopkinson bar method. Some special adaptations, a correction method for the effects arising from the adiabatic conditions of dynamic deformation and a simplified data processing procedure are described in detail. The test conditions covered a range of strain rates between 500 and about 10 000/s and temperatures from 20 to 500°C. For both metals, the results are presented by means of a family of true stress-true strain curves. The strong strain rate sensitivity at high strain rates indicates that the rate controlling mechanism differs from that operative at ‘static’ strain rates.

Split Hopkinson

Testing fibre composites off-axis has been used extensively to explore shear/tension coupling effects. However, off-axis testing at strain rates above 500 s-1 is challenging with a split Hopkinson bar apparatus. This is primarily due to the effects of inertia, which violate the assumption of stress equilibrium necessary to infer stress and strain from point measurements taken on the bars. Therefore, there is a need to develop new high strain rate test methods that do not rely on the assumptions of split Hopkinson bar analysis. Recently, a new image-based inertial impact test has been used to successfully identify the transverse modulus and tensile strength of a unidirectional composite at strain rates on the order of 2000 -1. The image-based inertial impact test method uses a reflected compressive stress wave to generate tensile stress and failure in an impacted specimen. Thus, the purpose of this study is to modify the image-based inertial impact test method to investigate the high strain rate properties of fibre composites using an off-axis configuration. For an off-axis specimen, a combined shear/tension or shear/compression stress state will be obtained. Throughout the propagation of the stress wave, full-field displacement measurements are taken. Strain and acceleration fields are then derived from the displacement fields. The kinematic fields are then processed with the virtual fields method (VFM) to reconstruct stress averages and identify the in-plane stiffness components G12 and E22.

Abstract Methods to obtain the mechanical response of rubber at high rates of strain are reviewed. These techniques include the extrapolation of low strain, low strain rate data, the limitations of which are discussed, extrapolations to elevated hydrostatic pressure, and direct determinations using split Hopkinson bar and drop weight testers, as well as miscellaneous methods. Some applications involving rubber at strain rates sufficient to induce a transition to the glassy state are described.

Intrinsic Strength

The strain rate sensitivity of a variety of materials is known to increase rapidly at strain rates exceeding ∼103 sec-1. This transition has most often in the past been attributed to a transition from thermally activated guide to viscous drag control. An important condition for imposition of dislocation drag effects is that the applied stress, σ, must be on the order of or greater than the threshold stress, which is the flow stress at OK. From Fig. 1, it can be seen for OFE Cu that the ratio of the applied stress to threshold stress remains constant even at strain rates as high as 104 sec-1 suggesting that there is not a mechanism transition but that the intrinsic strength is increasing, since the threshold strength is a mechanical measure of intrinsic strength. These measurements were made at constant strain levels of 0.2, wnich is not a guarantee of constant microstructure. The increase in threshold stress at higher strain rates is a strong indication that the microstructural evolution is a function of strain rate and that the dependence becomes stronger at high strain rates.

The mechanical properties of ultrafine-grained metals processed by equal channel angular pressing is investigated by nanoindentations in comparison with measurements on nanocrystalline nickel with a grain size between 20 and 400 nm produced by pulsed electrodeposition. Besides hardness and Young’s modulus measurements, the nanoindentation method allows also controlled experiments on the strain rate sensitivity, which are discussed in detail in this paper. Nanoindentation measurements can be performed at indentation strain rates between 10-3 s-1 and 0.1 s-1. Nanocrystalline and ultrafine-grained fcc metals as Al and Ni show a significant strain rate sensitivity at room temperature in comparison with conventional grain sized materials. In ultrafine-grained bcc Fe the strain rate sensitivity does not change significantly after severe plastic deformation. Inelastic effects are found during repeated unloading-loading experiments in nanoindentations.

First Results

In this paper the first results of the mechanical characterization in tension of two high strength alloys in a wide range of strain rates are presented. Different experimental techniques were used for different strain rates: a universal machine, a Hydro-Pneumatic Machine and a JRC-Split Hopkinson Tensile Bar. The experimental research was developed in the DynaMat laboratory of the University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland. An increase of the stress at a given strain increasing the strain-rate from 10-3 to 103 s-1, a moderate strain-rate sensitivity of the uniform and fracture strain, a poor reduction of the cross-sectional area at fracture with increasing the strain-rate were shown. Based on these experimental results the parameters required by the Johnson-Cook constitutive law were determined.

Split Hopkinson

The Split Hopkinson Bar (SHB) technique is used for high strain rate testing of T800/F3900 composite in compression, tension and shear. Digital Image Correlation (DIC) is used for measuring the full-field deformation on the surface of the specimen by using Shimadzu HPV-X2 high-speed video camera. Compression tests have been done on specimens machined from a unidirectional laminate in the 0°and 90° directions. Tensile tests were done in the 90° direction. Shear tests were done by using a notched specimen in a compression SHB apparatus. To study the effect of strain rate, quasi-static testing was also done using DIC and specimens with the same geometry as in the SHB tests. The results show that the DIC technique provides accurate strain measurements even at strains that are smaller than 1%. No strain rate effect is observed in compression in the 0° direction and significant strain rate effects are observed in compression and tension in the 90° direction, and in shear.

Shear tests were performed at strain rates ranging from quasi-static (0.01 s-1) to 500 s-1 for AA7075-T6 sheet metal alloy at room temperature. A miniature sized shear specimen was used in this work to perform high strain rate shear testing. Digital image correlation (DIC) techniques were employed to measure the strains in the experiments. At maximum in-plane shear strains greater than 20%, the AA7075-T6 alloy demonstrated a reduced work hardening rate at elevated strain rates. At lower strains, the AA7075-T6 alloy showed mild positive rate sensitivity. The strain to localization (using the Zener-Holloman criterion), measured using the DIC technique, decreased with strain rate in shear loading. The strain at complete failure, however, exhibited an increase at the highest strain rate (500 s-1). The current work also focused on characterization of the thermal conditions occurring during high rate loading in shear with in situ high speed thermal imaging. Experimental results from the highest strain rate (500 s-1) tests showed a notable increase in temperature within the specimen gauge region as a result of the conversion of plastic deformation energy into heat.
