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.

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.

The results of dynamic compression and tensile-splitting tests of concrete reinforced by randomly distributed short non – metallic fibres are presented. A Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar combined with a high-speed photographic system, was used to conduct dynamic Brazilian tests. Quasi static test show that the reinforcement of concrete by the non-metallic fibres leads to the improvement of mechanical properties at quasi static loading. This phenomenon was not observed at the high strain rate loading .Some explanation of this result is briefly outlined.

Dynamic Loading Conditions

The compressive deformation behavior of open-cell aluminum foams with different densities and morphologies was assessed under quasi-static and dynamic loading conditions. High strain rate experiments were conducted using a split Hopkinson pressure bar technique at strain rates ranging from 500 to 1 2000 − s . The experimental results shown that the compressive stress-strain curves of aluminum foams also have the “ three regions” character appeared in general foam materials, namely elastic region, collapse region and densification regions. It is found that density is the primary variable characterizing the modulus and yield strength of foams and the cell appears to have a negligible effect on the strength of foams. It also is found that yield strength and energy absorption is almost insensitive to strain rate and deformation is spatially uniform for the open-celled aluminum foams, over a wide range of strain rates.

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.

Compressive stress-strain characteristics of carbon/epoxy laminated composites in the through-thickness direction at strain rates of over 1000/s were evaluated using the standard split Hopkinson pressure bar. Three carbon/epoxy laminated composites (i.e., unidirectional, cross-ply and woven) with almost the same thickness were tested at room temperature. Small solid cylindrical specimens were machined such that the direction of the compression loading was perpendicular to the fiber direction of the laminates. The effects of strain rate and reinforcement geometry on the secant modulus at 1% strain, ultimate compressive strength and strain, and total strain energy to failure were examined in detail.

In this work, the Ni3Al-based intermetallic alloy was subjected to room temperature dynamic plastic deformation tests by using a split Hopkinson pressure bar technique. The dynamic compression processes were carried out at strain rates in the range of =(1.9x102 / 1x104 s-1). A strong impact of applied deformation conditions on microstructure and mechanical properties evolution in the examined Ni3Al intermetallic, was documented. Generally, very high maximum compressive stress values were obtained, reaching 5500 MPa for the sample deformed at the highest strain rate (i.e. ??=1x104 s-1). The results of performed SEM/EBSD evaluation point towards an occurrence of dynamic recovery and recrystallization phenomena in Ni3Al samples deformed at high strain rates.

SiC/B4C composite was obtained using the reaction sintering method with Si infiltration, which exhibited excellent mechanical properties. The dynamic compressive response was investigated using a Split Hopkinson pressure bar at high strain rates ranging from 0.4×103 to 1.2×103 s-1. The results show that the dynamic strength of the SiC/B4C composite obtains a peak value at a strain rate of 1000/s, while its strain increased continuously with increasing strain rate. The dynamic loading mode of SiC/B4C composite exhibited three deformation regions, including an inelastic deformation region, rapid loading region and failure region. The dynamic failure mode of SiC/B4C composite depended upon the strain rate.

The aim of this study is to present a model for assessing the dynamic compression behaviour of a micro-concrete. This model is based on the results of numerous tests providing the developments of the mechanical characteristics of the material on a wide range of strain rate from 10-4s-1to 10+3s-1.The Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) dispositive, based on the wave propagation theory in materials, has-been adopted to carry out the dynamic tests on the investigated material. The proposed model is composed of two terms, each characterizing the different contributions noted in the two major explored areas of strain rate.

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.

The effect of strain rate on the dynamic compressive of carbon/epoxy composite materials was investigated via the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) technique. The specimens were tested in the thickness, as well as in the in-plane direction at different high strain rates. The macro- and micro-fracture morphology of the damaged laminated specimens was obtained utilizing the scanning electron microscope (SEM). The experimental results showed that the compressive properties could be significantly affected by the strain rates. The compressive strength and the ultimate strain in the in-plane direction were obviously lower than that in the thickness direction. As the strain rate increased, the laminate had not enough time to respond, the splitting failure of 0° ply of laminates loaded in-plane along 0° was firstly found, then interfacial crack and delamination were induced, the specimens were crushed to fragments at the highest strain rate. No obvious damage of laminates loaded through the thickness could be observed at strain rate below 2000 s-1. The main way of the dynamic compressive failures through the thickness was shear failure due to the brittle fracture of the fiber at 2260 s-1.
