Abstract Torsion tests provide important shear stress and shear strain relationships to reveal the fundamental plastic flow response of a material. Bespoke torsion techniques complemented by Digital Image Correlation are developed to accurately measure the shear stress-strain relationship at quasi-static, medium rate 9/s and high strain rate above 1000/s. The equipment used includes a screw driven mechanical system, a hydraulic Instron machine and a Campbell thin-walled tube split Hopkinson torsion bar equipped with an ultra-high speed camera. A near alpha Ti3Al2.5V alloy was used as a model material in this study. A four camera digital image system has been constructed to monitor the material deformation and failure during a low rate torsion test, to gain further insight into plastic deformation of the tubular specimen. Shear stress-strain relationship of the Ti3Al2.5V alloy exhibits noticeable strain rate sensitivity. Observations of the strain hardening rate evolution indicate that the hardening capacity of Ti3Al2.5V is both strain and strain rate dependent. High strain rate torsional stress-strain relationship shows lower strain hardening, compared to the response obtained from a shear compression specimen. The present techniques are demonstrated to be suitable for the measurement of pure shear constitutive relationship, including rate sensitivity and failure of the material.

This study investigated the deformation behavior of the Mo-10Ta alloy with a strain rate range of 102–105 s−1. The Split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) experiments were conducted to investigate the influence of deformation conditions on the stress-strain relationship and strain rate sensitivity of the material within a strain rate range of 0.001–4500 s−1. The Shaped Charge Jet (SCJ) forming experiments under detonation loading was conducted to clarify the dynamic response and microstructure evolution of the material within an ultra-high strain rates range of 104–105 s−1. Based on the stress-strain relationship of Mo-10Ta alloy at high temperature (286–873 K) and high strain rate (460–4500 s−1), the influence of temperature and strain rate on the activation energy Q was analyzed. The results indicate that the material strain rate sensitivity increased with the increase in strain rate and strain. Meanwhile, the activation energy Q decreased as the temperature and strain rate increased. The plasticity of the Mo-10Ta alloy under the condition of SCJ forming was substantially enhanced compared with that under quasi-static deformation. The material grain was also refined under ultra-high strain rate, as reflected by the reduction in grain size from 232 μm to less than 10 μm.

The influence of high strain-rate loading on the flexural response of typical light-frame wood construction has been investigated. A total of 30 stud grade 38 mm × 140 mm × 2440 mm (2″ × 6″ × 8′) spruce–pine–fir (S–P–F) lumber specimens were tested within a range of low and high strain-rates between 6 × 10−6 s−1 and 0.4 s−1. A single-degree-of-freedom iterative solution procedure was used to compute the high strain-rate modulus of rupture (MOR) and modulus of elasticity (MOE). The MOR was statistically enhanced by high strain-rates, while the MOE and strain at rupture were not. Since equilibrium of the dynamic stress–strain relationship requires that one or both of the MOE and strain at rupture must be sensitive to strain-rate effects, the lack of observed rate enhancement on these material properties was attributed to large scatter within a small sample set. Based on the results, material dynamic increase factors and a stress–strain relationship suitable for blast resistant design of timber structures were also proposed.

Equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) at 443 K was used to introduce an ultra-fine grained (UFG) microstructure to a Zr and Sc modified 7075 aluminum alloy. Using the methods of TEM and EBSD, an average grain size of 0.6 1m was recorded after the pressing. The UFG microstructure remained very stable up to the temperature of 723 K, where the material exhibited high strain rate superplasticity (HSRSP) with elongations to failure of 610 % and 410 % at initial strain rates of 6.4 x 10-2 s-1 and 1 x 10-1 s-1, respectively. A strain rate sensitivity parameter m in the vicinity of 0.45 was observed at temperatures as high as 773 K. At this temperature, the material still reached an elongation to failure of 430 % at 2 x 10-2 s-1. These results confirm the stabilizing effect of the Zr and Sc additions on the UFG microstructure in a 7XXX series aluminum alloy produced by severe plastic deformation.

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.
