In order to investigate the static and dynamic mechanical properties of TC18 titanium alloy, the quasi-static stress–strain curve of TC18 titanium alloy under room temperature was obtained by DNS 100 electronic universal testing machine (Changchun Institute of Mechanical Science Co., Ltd., Changchun, China). Meanwhile, the flow stress–strain curves under different temperatures and strain rates are analyzed by split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) device with synchronous assembly system. On the basis of the two experimental data, the JC constitutive model under the combined action of high temperature and impact load is established using the linear least squares method. The results show the following: the yield strength and flow stress of TC18 titanium alloy increase slowly with the increase of the strain rate, and the strain value corresponding to the yield strength is reduced. With the increase of strain, the flow stress increases at first and then decreases at different temperatures. The strain value corresponding to the transition point rises with the temperature increase, and the corresponding stress value remains basically unchanged. With the increase of experimental temperature, the flow stress shows a downward trend, and the JC constitutive model can predict the plastic flow stress well.

Abstract Sn-58Bi alloy is a strain-rate-sensitive material. To study the mechanical properties of Sn-58Bi alloy, an MTS universal testing machine and split-Hopkinson pressure bar were used to conduct quasi-static and dynamic testing on Sn-58Bi alloy, obtaining the stress-strain curve of Sn-58Bi alloy at the strain rate of 0.001–6316 s−1. By comparing the tensile and compressive stress–strain curves of Sn-58Bi alloy under quasi-static conditions, it is found that Sn-58Bi alloy is brittle, with its tensile yield strength lower than its compressive yield strength. By comparing the compressive stress–strain curves of Sn-58Bi alloy at different strain rates, it is found that the yield strength of Sn-58Bi alloy increases with increasing strain rate, and a strain-hardening phenomenon is manifested at high strain rate. By revising the Johnson–Cook constitutive model, the constitutive model of Sn-58Bi alloy at different strain rates was established, with the calculated results of the model in good agreement with the experimental results.

The dynamic mechanical properties of basalt fiber reinforced concrete (BFRC) with different fiber contents (0.0%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4%), confining pressures (0 MPa, 5 MPa, 10 MPa, 15 MPa) and exposed to different temperatures (20 °C, 200 °C, 400 °C, 600 °C, 800 °C) were investigated by using a 50 mm split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) apparatus, and the factors such as fiber content, temperature and confining pressure effect on the dynamic mechanical properties were analyzed. The results show that the dynamic peak stress increases first and then decreases with the increase of fiber content. At different temperatures, the peak stress and its corresponding strain correspond to different fiber content, and the optimal fiber content is between 0.1% and 0.3%. When the temperature was from 20 °C to 400 °C, the dynamic peak stress decreased less, while when the temperature reached 600 °C and 800 °C, the dynamic peak stress decreased greatly. The confining pressure can significantly increase the dynamic peak stress and change the crushing morphology of specimens. The damage variable was built based on the Weibull distribution. A dynamic damage constitutive model combining statistical damage and viscoelastic model was established based on component combination model. The fitting curve of this model fitted well with test curve by identifying fewer undetermined parameters compared with Zhu-Wang-Tang (ZWT) model; therefore, this model can well describe the dynamic properties of BFRC under impact load.

In order to study the dynamic mechanical properties of styrene–acrylic latex with a core/shell structure, a variety of latexes were synthesized by semi-continuous seeded emulsion polymerization based on “particle design” with the same material. The latexes were characterized by rotary viscosimeter, dynamic light scattering (DLS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscope (TEM), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and universal testing machine. The effects of difference at the glass transition temperature (Tg) of core and shell and the introduction of the “transition layer” on the damping and mechanical properties of latex film were studied. The results indicate that as the Tg of core and shell gets closer, the better the compatibility of core and shell, from phase separation to phase continuity. Furthermore, the introduction of the “transition layer” can effectively improve the tensile strength and tan δ (max) of the latex film. The tensile strength and maximum loss factor (f = 1 Hz) of latex with the “transition layer” increased by 36.73% and 29.11% respectively compared with the latex without the “transition layer”. This work provides a reference for the design of emulsion for damping coating.

As a typical high specific strength and corrosion-resistant alloy, titanium alloy Ti6Al4V is widely used in the aviation, ocean, biomedical, sport, and other fields. The heat treatment method is often used to improve the material mechanical properties. To investigate the dynamic mechanical properties of titanium alloy Ti6Al4V after heat treatment, dynamic compressive experiments under high temperature and high strain rate were carried out using split Hopkinson press bar (SHPB) equipment. The stress–strain curves of Ti6Al4V alloy under different temperatures and strain rates were obtained through SHPB compressive tests. The Johnson–Cook (J–C) constitutive equation was used for expressing the stress–strain relationship of titanium alloy under large deformation. In addition, the material constants of the J–C model were fitted based on the experimental data. An orthogonal cutting simulation was performed to investigate the cutting of Ti6Al4V alloy under two different numerical calculation methods based on the established J–C model using the finite element method (FEM). The simulation results confirm that the adiabatic mode is more suitable to analyze the cutting of Ti6Al4V alloy.

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.
