The titanium alloy (grade 5) is a two-phase material, which finds significant applications in aerospace, medical, marine fields, owing to its superior characteristics like high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance, and good formability. Hence, the dynamic characteristics of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy are an important area to study. A compressive split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) was used to evaluate the dynamic properties of Ti-6Al-4V alloy under various strain rates between 997 and 1898s−1, and at temperatures between −10 °C and 320 °C. It was evident that the material strength is sensitive to both strain rate and temperature; however, the latter is more predominant than the former. The microstructure of the deformed samples was examined using electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD). The microscopic observations show that the dynamic impact characteristics of the alloy are higher at higher strain rates than at quasi-static strain rates. The SHPB tests show that the force on the transmitter bar is lower than the force on the incident bar. This indicates that the dynamic equilibrium cannot be achieved during high rate of damage evolution. Various constants in Johnson–Cook (JC) model were evaluated to validate the results. An uncertainty analysis for the experimental results has also been presented.

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.

This paper presents an analytical prediction coupled with numerical simulations of a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) that could be used during further experiments to measure the dynamic compression strength of concrete. The current study combines experimental, modeling and numerical results, permitting an inverse method by which to validate measurements. An analytical prediction is conducted to determine the waves propagation present in SHPB using a one-dimensional theory and assuming a strain rate dependence of the material strength. This method can be used by designers of new SPHB experimental setups to predict compressive strength or strain rates reached during tests, or to check the consistencies of predicted results. Numerical simulation results obtained using LS-DYNA finite element software are also presented in this paper, and are used to compare the predictions with the analytical results. This work focuses on an SPHB setup that can accurately identify the strain rate sensitivities of concrete or brittle materials.

Strain rate response of PMMA was investigated under uniaxial compression at different rates of strain ranging from 0.0001/sec to about 4300/sec. High rate experiments (greater than 1/sec rates) were conducted using a split-Hopkinson Pressure bar (SHPB) with pulse-shaping to impose the compressive loading of the specimen at constant strain rate under dynamic stress equilibrium. At strain rates 1/s and below, intrinsic softening occurred after the initial yield and then followed by the strain hardening. However, at 1/s strain rate, material started to soften further due to thermal softening dominating over strain hardening. For higher strain rates (greater than 1/s), PMMA failed before, during or immediately after the yield depending on the rate of loading. For these high rates, strain to failure decreases with the increase in the strain rates whereas failure stress (except at very high rates where failure occurred before yielding) and modulus increase with increasing strain rate.

For investigating the effect of temperature on the dynamic properties of concrete material, tests for cylindrical concrete specimens at 23°C ~ 800°C were carried out by using Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) apparatus, and the strain rates ranged from 30/s to 220/s. Effects of temperature and strain-rate on the dynamic behavior of concrete were analyzed. The results show that: above 4000C, the dynamic compressive strength of concrete decreases with increasing temperature, and the enhancements of strain-rates on the compressive strength of concrete depend significantly on temperatures. Moreover, both strain-rate and temperature can enhance the peak strain of concrete.

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.

The dynamic in-plane shear stress-strain response of a unidirectional non- crimp fabric carbon fiber/snap-cure epoxy composite was studied by subjecting 30° and 45° off-axis specimens to compression loading at high strain rates. Tests were performed using a compression split-Hopkinson pressure bar apparatus where an approximate axial strain rate of 305 s-1 was achieved. Images of the deformed specimen surfaces were captured with high-speed cameras and digital image correlation used to obtain a strain map. Pulse shaping was performed using a copper pulse shaper to achieve dynamic equilibrium during the high-rate tests. The results demonstrated that the in-plane shear yield stress and strength increased by 53% and 68%, respectively, when the strain rate increased from quasi-static to 305 s-1.

Mg–SiC nanocomposite samples were fabricated using split Hopkinson pressure bar for different SiC volume fractions and under different temperature conditions. The microstructures and mechanical properties of the samples including microhardness and stress–strain curves were captured from quasi-static and dynamic tests carried out using Instron and split Hopkinson pressure bar, respectively. Nanocomposites were produced by hot and high-rate compaction method using split Hopkinson pressure bar. Temperature also significantly affects relative density and can lead to 2.5% increase in density. Adding SiC-reinforcing particles to samples increased their Vickers microhardness from 46 VH to 68 VH (45% increase) depending on the compaction temperature. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that by increasing temperature from 25℃ to 450℃, the Mg crystallite size increases from 37 nm to 72 nm and decreases the lattice strain from 45% to 30%. In quasi-static tests, the ultimate compressive strength for the compaction temperature of 450℃ was improved from 123% for Mg–0 vol.% SiC to 200% for the Mg–10 vol.% SiC samples compared with those of the compaction at room temperature. In dynamic tests, the ultimate strength for Mg–10 vol.% SiC sample compacted at high strain rate increased remarkably by 110% compared with that for Mg–0 vol.% SiC sample compacted at low strain rate.

This paper presents an experimental study on the high strain rate compressive behavior of micro-fibre reinforced ultrahigh performance cementitious composite, which is intended to be used as a matrix for slurry infiltrated fibre concrete (SIFCON). Cementitious composite specimens with 5 different types of microfibres, namely aramid, carbon, wollastonite, polypropylene and glass in amounts of 1.5-2.0% by volume were prepared and investigated. Split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) equipment was used to determine the cementitious composite behavior at strain rates up to 1600 s-1. Quasistatic tests were performed, as well and ratios of these properties at high strain rates to their counterparts at static loading were compared. The dynamic increase factors were calculated. Strain rate sensitivity was observed - compressive strength was found to be increased with strain rate for all tested specimens. Peak stress values, critical compressive strain and post peak behaviour varies for specimens with different micro-fibre reinforcement, which allows to find the optimal reinforcement for high strain rate impacted structures.

The temperature and strain rate significantly affect the ballistic performance of UHMWPE, but the deformation of UHMWPE under thermo-mechanical coupling has been rarely studied. To investigate the influences of the temperature and the strain rate on the mechanical properties of UHMWPE, a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) apparatus was used to conduct uniaxial compression experiments on UHMWPE. The stress–strain curves of UHMWPE were obtained at temperatures of 20–100 °C and strain rates of 1300–4300 s−1. Based on the experimental results, the UHMWPE belongs to viscoelastic–plastic material, and a hardening effect occurs once UHMWPE enters the plastic zone. By comparing the stress–strain curves at different temperatures and strain rates, it was found that UHMWPE exhibits strain rate strengthening and temperature softening effects. By modifying the Sherwood–Frost model, a constitutive model was established to describe the dynamic mechanical properties of UHMWPE at different temperatures. The results calculated using the constitutive model were in good agreement with the experimental data. This study provides a reference for the design of UHMWPE as a ballistic-resistant material.

Work Of Deformation

Many polymeric materials undergo substantial plastic strain prior to failure. Much of this post yield deformation is dissipative and, at high strain rates, will result in a substantial temperature rise in the material. In this paper, an infrared (IR) detector system is constructed to measure the rise in temperature of a polymer during high strain rate compression testing. Temperature measurements were made using a high-speed mercury-cadmium-telluride (HgCdTe) single-element photovoltaic detector sensitive in the mid-infrared spectrum (6–12μm), while mechanical deformation was accomplished in a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB). Two representative polymers, an amorphous thermoplastic (polycarbonate (PC)) and a thermoset epoxy (EPON 862/W), were tested in uniaxial compression at strain rates greater than 1000s−1 while simultaneously measuring the specimen temperature as a function of strain. For comparison purposes, analogous measurements were conducted on these materials tested at a strain rate of 0.5s−1 on another test system. The data are further reduced to energy quantities revealing the dissipative versus storage character of the post yield work of deformation. The fraction of post yield work that is dissipative was found to be a strong function of strain for both polymers. Furthermore, a greater percentage of work is found to be dissipative at high rates of strain (>1000s−1) than at the lower rate of strain (0.5s−1) for both polymers; this is consistent with the need to overcome an additional energy barrier to yield at strain rates greater than 100s−1 in these two polymers. The highly cross-linked thermoset polymer was found to store a greater percentage of the post yield work of deformation than the physically entangled thermoplastic.
