An effective, low cost method of determining the temperature dependent dynamic response of elastomeric materials at high strain rates using the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) is developed. The test system allows the determination of the dynamic modulus at temperatures up to 150°C with control of specimen temperature within ± 3°C without the use of specialized equipment or cumbersome heating and positioning fixtures often required for temperature dependent testing. The test specimen is heated using a low cost electric resistance tape, which heats the transmitter and incident bars adjacent to the specimen. A finite element analysis is performed to predict the temperature vs. time response of the test specimen, which is verified using a simple thermocouple arrangement. The dynamic stress-strain response of a nitrile elastomer, commonly used as an impact absorber, is investigated over temperatures ranging from 20°C to 110°C at strain rates between 3000/s and 3500/s. The effect of strain rate on the dynamic modulus is not significant, but the effect of temperature is dramatic. The dynamic modulus of the nitrile is reduced by more than 60% at 110°C.
