Good material properties are required to ensure the safe and reliable design of oil and gas transmission pipelines. The main objective of the study, presented in this paper, is to examine the influence of high strain rates on the hardening and ductile fracture behaviour of an API 5L X70 pipeline steel by means of a combined experimental/numerical approach. For this purpose, the impact toughness of the material is assessed using instrumented Charpy V-notch (CVN) impact tests at a wide range of temperatures. To characterize the mechanical response of an X70 pipeline steel subjected to high strain rates, split Hopkinson tensile bar (SHTB) experiments are performed. These experiments allow deriving the true effective stress versus plastic strain, strain rate and temperature. Both the CVN and SHTB tests results are used for fundamental material research and constitutive material modelling. For the numerical simulations, the modified Bai-Wierzbicki (MBW) model is applied. The MBW model represents the influence of the stress state on the plastic behaviour and the onset of damage, and quantifies the microstructure degradation using a dissipation-energy based damage evolution law. The model hence allows for an accurate prediction of the ductile fracture mechanisms. The combined experimental/numerical approach is then used to simulate the upper shelf ductile fracture behaviour of an API X70 pipeline steel for high strain rate and Charpy tests. Based on the available experimental data, a new parameter set has been determined. Using these new material parameters, good correlations between numerical simulations and experimental observations have been obtained for both the split Hopkinson tensile bar tests and the Charpy impact tests.

Behavior of solder joints in microelectronic packages is crucial to the drop impact reliability design of mobile electronic products. In this paper, tensile behaviors of Sn37Pb, Sn3.5Ag, and Sn3.0Ag0.5Cu at strain rates of 600 s−1, 1200 s−1, and 1800 s−1 were investigated using the split Hopkinson tensile bar experimental technique. Stress-strain curves of the three solders were obtained, and microstructure and fractography of the specimens before and after the tests were examined and presented. The experimental results show that the lead-free solders are strongly strain rate dependent: Their tensile strength, percent elongation, and percent reduction in area are much greater than those properties of the lead-containing solder at high strain rates.

The strain rate sensitivity of neoprene is characterized using a modified split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) system at intermediate (50 s-1, 100 s-1) and high (500 s-1, 1000 s-1) strain rates. We used two quartz piezoelectric force transducers that were sandwiched between the specimen and experimental bars respectively to directly measure the weak wave signals. A laser gap gage was employed to monitor the deformation of the sample directly. Three kinds of neoprene rubbers (Shore hardness: SHA60, SHA65, and SHA70) were tested using the modified split Hopkinson pressure bar. Experimental results show that the modified apparatus is effective and reliable for determining the compressive stress-strain responses of neoprene at intermediate and high strain rates.

Deformation and fracture behaviors of Ti-6Al-4V-0.1B alloy with Widmanstätten, equiaxed and bimodal microstructures were investigated by Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) under high strain rates of 2100-3200 s-1. The results showed that the equiaxed and bimodal structures had a higher bearing capacity at high strain rates than that of the Widmanstätten structure. With the same microstructure, the increase of strain rate gave rise to an improved uniform plastic deformation. According to an observation on the deformed microstructure, it was found that adiabatic shear behavior was the main reason for failure and fracture of the alloy. The formation and propagation of adiabatic shear bands (ASBs) was the precursor for the failure and fracture of the material. Cavities at the interface between TiB phase and the matrix readily formed due to the uncoordinated deformation, which are not the dominate reason for the failure and fracture.

The design of sample geometries and the measurement of small strains are considered the main challenges when testing composite materials at high strain rates using the split Hopkinson bar technique. The aim of this paper is to assess two types of tensile sample geometries, namely dog-bone and straight strip, in order to study the tensile behaviour of basalt fibre reinforced composites at high strain rates using the split Hopkinson bar technique. 2D Digital image correlation technique was used to study the distribution of the strain fields within the gauge section at quasi-static and dynamic strain rates. Results showed that for the current experiments and the proposed clamping techniques, both sample geometries fulfilled the requirements of a valid split Hopkinson test, and achieved uniform strain fields within the gauge section. However, classical Hopkinson analysis tends to overestimate the actual strains in the gauge section for both geometries. It is, therefore, important to use a local deformation measurement when using these 2 geometries with the proposed clamping technique.

Titanium alloys have received great interest in the engineering applications requiring light weight and high impact resistance components. It is necessary to understand the mechanical properties of titanium alloys at high strain rates and various temperatures in the structural design. In the present paper, uniaxial tension tests at strain rates of 190, 500 and 1150s-1 and temperatures of 20, 150, 300°C are carried out using a modified split hopkinson tension bar system to investigate the effects of strain rate and temperature on tension behavior of the Ti-6.6Al-3.3Mo-1.8Zr-0.29Si alloy. Experimental results indicate that the alloy has the rate and temperature sensitivity and still keeps high strengths and toughness at temperature up to 300°C under high strain rate. SEM observations reveal that ductile fracture is the major fracture mode when the alloy is deformed at high strain rates.
