Abstract Comprehensive knowledge of strain rate-dependent viscoelastic properties of bony materials is necessary to understand the mechanisms of bone fracture under impact loading conditions (e.g., falls, traffic accidents, and military environments). Although the mechanical properties of bones have been studied for several decades, the high strain rate data and corresponding material parameters of the rate-dependent constitutive models are still limited. In this study, split Hopkinson pressure bar technique was used to test bovine cortical bones, to obtain the rate-dependent stress–strain curves in two directions (along and perpendicular to the bone fibers). A constitutive relationship comprising two terms was then applied to identify the material constants with strain rate effect and viscoelastic properties. In this model, the linear elasticity was combined with nonlinear viscoelasticity components to describe the overall nonlinear strain rate dependence. The presented data give strong experimental evidence and basis for further development of numerical biomechanical models to simulate human cortical bone fracture.

7075-T651 aluminum alloy are widely used in aeronautical applications such as wing panels, but there is no corresponding constitutive model for it now. In this paper, the flow behavior of 7050-T651 aluminum alloy was investigated by Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) and quasi-static compression experiment system. The strain hardening parameters were obtained by quasi-static compression experiment data, and the strain rate hardening parameters at various strain rates (1000-3000s-1) and room temperature, and the thermal softening parameter at various temperatures (20-300°C) where strain rate is 3000s-1 were obtained by SHPB experiment data. Then the constitutive equation of 7075-T651 aluminum alloy is obtained based on Johnson-Cook constitutive equation model.

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.

The mechanical behavior of two composites, i.e., CF3031/QY8911 (CQ, hereafter in this paper) and EW100A/BA9916 (EB, hereafter in this paper), under dynamic loadings were carefully studied by using split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) system. The results show that compressive strength of CQ increases with increasing strain-rates, while for EB the compressive strength at strain-rate 1500/s is lower then that at 800/s or 400/s. More interestingly, most of the stress strain curves of both of the two composites are not monotonous but exhibit double-peak shape. To identify this unusual phenominon, a high speed photographic system is introduced. The deformation as well as fracture characteristics of the composites under dynamic loadings were captured. The photoes indicate that two different failure mechanisms work during dynamic fracture process. The first one is axial splitting between the fiber and the matrix and the second one is overall shear. The interficial strength between the fiber and matrix, which is also strain rate dependent, determines the fracture modes and the shape of the stress/strain curves.

The dynamic mechanical properties of a material are important keys to investigate the impact characteristic of a structure such as a crash box. For some materials, the stress-strain relationships at high strain rate loadings are different than that at the static condition. These mechanical properties depend on the strain rate of the loadings, and hence an appropriate testing technique is required to measure them. To measure the mechanical properties of a material at high strain rates, ranging from 500 s-1 to 10000 s-1, a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar is commonly used. In the measurements, strain pulses are generated in the bars system, and pulses being reflected and transmitted by a test specimen in the bar system are measured. The stress-strain curves as the material properties of the test specimen are obtained by processing the measured reflected and transmitted pulses. This paper presents the measurements of the mechanical properties of St 37 mild steel at several strain rates using a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar. The stress-strain curves obtained in the measurement were curve fitted using the Power Law. The results show that the strength of St 37 material increases as the strain rate increases.

Effect of strain rate on mechanical properties of pure iron was studied by compression experiments using Gleebe-1500D thermal simulation testing machine and Split-Hopkinson Pressure Bar, indicating that pure iron only has strain rate hardening effect. Adiabatic temperature rise tends to increase with increasing the strain rate. Work hardening effect is also analyzed. It found that there are only two work hardening regions in static stage (10-3 to 1 s-1) while there are three work hardening regions in dynamic stage (650 to 8500 s-1). It is on account of onset of twining at high strain rates.

ABSTRACTThe behavior of metal foams under rapid loading conditions is assessed. Dynamic loading experiments were conducted in our laboratory using a split Hopkinson pressure bar apparatus and a drop weight tester; strain rates ranged from 45 s−1 to 1200 s−1. The implications of these experiments on open-cell, porous metals, and closed- and open-cell polymer foams are described. It is shown that there are two possible strain-rate dependent contributors to the impact resistance of cellular metals: (i) elastic-plastic resistance of the cellular metal “skeleton,” and (ii) the gas pressure generated by gas flow within distorted open cells. A theoretical basis for these implications is presented.

The Split-Hopkinson pressure bar test system with the MTS652.02 high temperature furnace and the 50 mm diameter are used to investigate the dynamic tensile mechanical properties of coal sandstone for the first time. Brazilian tests at high loading rates are conducted at ambient temperature and after heat treatment at 800?C. The effect of the strain rate on the tensile mechanical properties is analyzed using the SEM. The results show that after heat treatment at 800?C, the dynamic indirect tensile strength of sandstone increases with the increase of strain rate. Due to the effect of thermal melting and evaporation, after treatment at 800?C, the edges of the internal cracks in the sandstone become rough and lead to more defects. This makes the dynamic indirect tensile strength of the samples at room temperature greater than that at high temperature under the same strain rate. After heat treatment at 800?C, as the strain rate increases, the damage morphology of sandstone changes from large arc-shaped unilateral tensile faces to small granular detrital fragments; the extent of damage gradually increases at the same time.

The paper contains results of investigation of nanostructured bainitic steel subjected to repeated high-strain-rate deformations using split Hopkinson pressure bar method and uniaxial compression of cylindrical specimens in Gleeble simulator. Steel of chemical composition Fe-0.58%C-1.80%Si-1.95%Mn-1.3Cr-0.7Mo (weight %), after isothermal heat treatment at 210°C, is characterized by following mechanical properties determined at static tensile test: yield strength YS0.2 = 1.3 GPa; ultimate tensile strength UTS = 2.05 GPa; total elongation E = 12%, hardness 610 HV and Charpy-V impact toughness 24 J at +20℃ and 14 J at -40℃. Stress-strain curves obtained for pre-stressed material before the next dynamic compression and after repeated compressions were analysed. Microstructure of the deformed specimens in areas of the dynamic impact was investigated. The effects of the dynamic repeated impact on changes in characteristics of the investigated material, in that on strain hardening mechanism, were established. Critical strains of 5.3% at strain rate 910 s-1 and about 10% at strain rate 50 s-1 for the nanostructured bainite were determined. Exceeding the critical strain under uniaxial repeated high-strain-rate compression, resulted in decreasing of ability of the steel for further plastic deformation and strain hardening.
