AbstractThe quasi-static and high strain rate compressive behavior of Gum Metal with composition Ti-36Nb-2Ta-3Zr-0.3O (wt pct) has been investigated using an electromechanical testing machine and a split Hopkinson pressure bar, respectively. The stress–strain curves obtained for Gum Metal tested under monotonic and dynamic loadings revealed a strain-softening effect which intensified with increasing strain rate. Moreover, the plastic flow stress was observed to increase for both static and dynamic loading conditions with increasing strain rate. The microstructural characterization of the tested Gum Metal specimens showed particular deformation mechanisms regulating the phenomena of strain hardening and strain softening, namely an adiabatic shear band formed at ~ 45 deg with respect to the loading direction as well as widely spaced deformation bands (kink bands). Dislocations within the channels intersecting with twins may cause strain hardening while recrystallized grains and kink bands with crystal rotation inside the grains may lead to strain softening. A constitutive description of the compressive behavior of Gum Metal was proposed using a modified Johnson–Cook model. Good agreement between the experimental and the numerical data obtained in the work was achieved.

The effects of microstructures of Ti -6 Al -4 V alloy on the flow stresses and fracture behaviors at quasi-static and dynamic deformation conditions were investigated. Specimens of different sizes and fractions of α globules in equiaxed and bimodal structures were compressed at the strain rate of 2×10−3/ s and 3×103/ s using hydraulic testing machine and split Hopkinson pressure bar, respectively. The a globule size in equiaxed structure changed the level of flow stresses, but did not affect the strain hardening characteristics. Meanwhile, the volume fraction of α globule (or lamellar phase) in bimodal structures influenced both the flow stress and strain hardening exponent at quasi-static and dynamic deformation conditions. Bimodal structure of 50% lamellar fraction is considered to be more favorable in dynamic deformation condition at strain rate regime of 3×103/ s than equiaxed or bimodal one having higher lamellar fraction.

The high strain-rate compressive characteristics of a cross-ply carbon/epoxy laminated composite in the three principal material directions or fibre (1-), in-plane transverse (2-) and throughthickness (3-) directions are investigated on the conventional split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) over a range of temperatures between 20 and 80 °C. A nearly 10 mm thick cross-ply carbon/epoxy composite laminate fabricated using vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VaRTM) was tested. Cylindrical specimens with a slenderness ratio (= length/diameter) of 0.5 are used in high strain-rate tests, and those with the slenderness ratios of 1.0 and 1.5 are used in low and intermediate strain-rate tests. The uniaxial compressive stress-strain curves up to failure at quasi-static and intermediate strain rates are measured on an Instron testing machine at elevated temperatures. A pair of steel rings is attached to both ends of the cylindrical specimens to prevent premature end crushing in the 1-and 2-direction tests on the Instron testing machine. It is shown that the ultimate compressive strength (or failure stress) exhibits positive strainrate effects and negative temperature ones over a strain-rate range of 10–3 to 103/s and a temperature range of 20 to 80 °C in the three principal material directions.

This paper presents an experimental study on the high strain rate compressive behavior of micro-fibre reinforced ultrahigh performance cementitious composite, which is intended to be used as a matrix for slurry infiltrated fibre concrete (SIFCON). Cementitious composite specimens with 5 different types of microfibres, namely aramid, carbon, wollastonite, polypropylene and glass in amounts of 1.5-2.0% by volume were prepared and investigated. Split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) equipment was used to determine the cementitious composite behavior at strain rates up to 1600 s-1. Quasistatic tests were performed, as well and ratios of these properties at high strain rates to their counterparts at static loading were compared. The dynamic increase factors were calculated. Strain rate sensitivity was observed - compressive strength was found to be increased with strain rate for all tested specimens. Peak stress values, critical compressive strain and post peak behaviour varies for specimens with different micro-fibre reinforcement, which allows to find the optimal reinforcement for high strain rate impacted structures.

The goal of this study is to analyze the material deformation behavior in the micron level by quasi-static and dynamic impact tests of hat shaped specimen. Three type of specimen with different shear ring thicknesses (800μm, 400μm, 50μm) were designed. The quasi-static and dynamic impact tests were performed by electronic universal testing machine and split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) respectively. During the material deformation in the SHPB test, the value scope of strain is 0 to 9 while the value scope of strain rate is 0.001s-1 to 400000s-1. The size effect phenomenon on shear stress and failure strain with different shear ring thickness was investigated. The shear stress and failure strain of material increases with the decrease of shear ring thickness. And the size effect phenomenon was weakened with the increase of strain rate.

The mechanical behaviour of as-cast AZ31 Mg alloy has been investigated at strain rates up to 2.0×103s-1. Dynamic tests were carried out at room temperature using a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) apparatus. Microstructural characteristic were analysed by Image MAT A1 optical microscopy. The results demonstrated that AZ31 Mg alloy exhibited obvious yield phenomena and strain hardening behaviour at high strain rates. The basically same curvature of stress-strain curves exhibited an similar strain hardening rate. The dynamic yield strength changes little and the peak stress increases with the strain rates. An examination by optical microscopy after high strain rate deformation reveals the occurrence of twinning and twin area percentage increases with the strain rate increasing.

The purpose of this study is to elucidate the effect of foam structure on the impact compressive properties of foamed polyethylene film. Three types of foamed PE film were prepared, which have different foam structure: base type, spheral type and dense type. A quasi-static test was performed using a universal testing machine at the strain rate of 10-3~10-1s-1. Impact tests were carried out using a drop-weight testing machine at the strain rate of 101~102s-1 and using a split Hopkinson pressure bar method at the strain rate of approximately 103s-1. It was confirmed that the foamed PE film shows an increase of the flow stress with increasing of the strain rate, regardless of the specimen type. In the spheral type specimen, the elastic response is observed immediately after compression because the cell shape of this specimen has high bending resistance in comparison with the other two specimens. In addition, it is confirmed that the relative density and cell size affects the flow stress in the foamed PE film.

In this paper the sensitivity of strain rate and size effect with different particle volume fraction in SiCp/Al Composite were studied through the experiment. Specimens with 40% and 30% SiC particle volume fraction were made. There are three types of particle sizes in each volume fraction. The sensitivity of strain rate and the effect of particle size in Al matrix composites reinforced with the different volume fraction were investigated, using the split Hopkinson pressure bar and Instron5882 universal material testing machine. The surface microstructure of the specimens in each composite was examined using optical microscopy and SEM. Through the strain-stress curves, the sensitivity of strain rate can be obtained. The experimental results show that the sensitivity of strain rate increases with the increasing of particle volume fraction. At the same volume fraction, the size effect were observed obviously and higher flow stresses were obtained in the composites reinforced with small particles than that in the composite with large particles.

The impact compressive failure behaviour of a unidirectional T700/2521 carbon/epoxy composite in three principal material directions is investigated in the conventional split Hopkinson pressure bar. Two different types of specimens with square cross sections are machined from the composite in the plane of the laminate. The uniaxial compressive stress-strain curves up to failure at quasi-static and intermediate strain rates are measured on an Instron testing machine. It is demonstrated that the ultimate compressive strength (or maximum stress) increases slightly, while the ultimate compressive strain (or failure strain) decreases marginally with strain rate in the range of 10-3 to 103/s in all three directions. Dominant failure mechanisms are found to significantly vary with strain rate and loading directions along three principal material axes.

Effect of strain rate on mechanical properties of pure iron was studied by compression experiments using Gleebe-1500D thermal simulation testing machine and Split-Hopkinson Pressure Bar, indicating that pure iron only has strain rate hardening effect. Adiabatic temperature rise tends to increase with increasing the strain rate. Work hardening effect is also analyzed. It found that there are only two work hardening regions in static stage (10-3 to 1 s-1) while there are three work hardening regions in dynamic stage (650 to 8500 s-1). It is on account of onset of twining at high strain rates.
