This paper describes a modification of the split Hopkinson pressure bar, to allow compression testing of high strength metals at a strain rate of up to about 10 5 s –1 . All dimensions are minimized to reduce effects of dispersion and inertia, with specimens of the order of 1 mm diameter. Strain is calculated from the stress record and calibrated with high-speed photography. Particular attention has been paid to the accuracy of the technique, and errors arising from nonlinearity in the instrumentation, dispersion, frictional restraint and inertia have all been quantitatively assessed. Stress–strain results are presented of Ti 6A14V alloy, a high strength tungsten alloy, and pure copper.

Deformation Patterns

The thermo-mechanical aspects of adiabatic shear band (ASB) formation are studied for two commercial alloys: Mg AM50 and Ti6Al4V. Tests are carried out on shear compression specimens (SCS). The evolution of the temperature in the deforming gauge section is monitored in real time, using an array of high speed infrared detectors synchronized with a Kolsky apparatus (split Hopkinson pressure bar). The evolution of the gage temperature is found to comprise 3 basic stages, in agreement with Marchand and Duffy’s simultaneous observations of mechanical data and gauge deformation patterns (1988). The onset and full formation stages of ASB are identified by combining the collected thermal and mechanical data. Full development of the ASB is identified as the point at which the measured and calculated temperature curves intersect and diverge thereon. At that stage, the homogeneous strain assumption used in calculating the maximum temperature rise is no longer valid.

In 1993, a new beryllium bearing bulk metallic glass with the nominal composition Zr41.25Ti13.75Cu12.5Ni10Be22.5 was discovered at Caltech. This metallic glass can be cast as cylindrical rods as large as 16 mm in diameter, which permitted specimens to be fabricated with geometries suitable for dynamic testing. For the first time, the dynamic compressive yield behavior of a metallic glass was characterized at strain rates of 102 to 104/s by using the split Hopkinson pressure bar. A high-speed infrared thermal detector was also used to determine if adiabatic heating occurred during dynamic deformation of the metallic glass. From these tests it appears that the yield stress of the metallic glass is insensitive to strain rate and no adiabatic heating occurs before yielding.

High Speed Deformation

Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar is an apparatus that is used to study materials behavior under high speed deformation, where strain rate is very high. Hopkinson bars are usually custom made based on the needs of customers, who are mostly researchers in universities or research labs. In this work, the authors designed a small size split Hopkinson pressure bar. The objectives of this project are 1) to design a well-structured Hopkinson bar by means of solid mechanics fundamentals 2) to implement finite element simulation to verify the design. The designed Split Hopkinson bar consists of two metallic bars with a specimen placing in between, a striker assembly, an air compressor, instrumentation and a data acquisition system. The solid model of the apparatus is built using CAD software SolidWorks. The design is validated by extensive finite element simulation using ABAQUS. A working prototype is physically built and tested. High speed deformation experiments are developed using the prototype fabricated. The experiments are conducted as an impact is made by the striker on one of the bars, which generates stress wave through the specimen and the other bar. During the experiments, strain in specimen is determined by measuring strains on the bars using strain gauges mounted on the bars. Preliminary tests demonstrate that the performance of the apparatus is as predicted by the FEM simulation. This work is supported by an NSF’s CMMI (Civil, Mechanical and Manufacturing Innovation) program.
