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.

In this work, LS-DYNA program was adopted to simulate the loading process of Vanadium Alloy specimen conducted on the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) in two dimensions. Based on the Johnson-Cook material constitutive relation and criterion of Johnson-Cook failure, the initiation, propagation process of an adiabatic shear band (ASB) and the corresponding distribution of temperature field in the vanadium alloy V-5Cr-5Ti hat-shaped specimen are analyzed. The field of stress, strain and temperature in the tip of an ASB, and the spread speed, the width as well as the type of the ASB are all studied. It is shown that the formation of the ASB is related to the loading velocity and the size of the hat-shaped specimen. And formation of mircocracks and their interlinkage are primary shearing failure mechanism of hat-shaped specimen.

The dynamic compressive behavior of Al2O3 (10% vol.) / TiB2 ceramic composite had been tested by using a split Hopkinson pressure bar in this paper. The results show that the main failure modes of the ceramic composite include crushed failure and split fracture along the loading direction. The former is the typical compressive failure of brittle materials. The later is tensile failure along the flaws produced during the composite manufacturing. The numerical simulation was also used to study the effect of the diameter/length ratio of the samples on the experimental results. The effect of the deformation in the bars’ ends, which contacted with the samples, was also studied in the numerical models.

Dynamic response and fracture of high strength boride/alumina ceramic composite were investigated by split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) experiment in this paper. The compressive stress–strain curves and dynamic compression strength of the composites were tested. The surface’s microstructure of fractured composites were examined by using scanning electron microscope (SEM) to investigate the fracture mechanism. The results show that boride/alumina has high dynamic compressive strength and high Young’s modulus. The main fracture mode of the material is the fracture of the ceramic grains. The micro-voids and flaws, generated during the sintering and manufacturing of material and mechanical process of specimen, decrease the strength of the material because they provide the source of crack expansion when the material undergoes the dynamic loadings.
