There is a significant challenge in simulating the behaviour of PBXs under high strain rate impact loading. A Porter-Gould physically based constitutive model has been developed for the DPX2 explosive. A series of quasi-static compression and tensile tests over a range of temperatures were performed together with DMA tests to calibrate the model. In particular tests were performed for different L/D ratios to understand the complex localisation and damage behaviour of the material. High rate tests on the compression Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) for a range of temperatures were then used for validation of the model under idealised stress states. Some model development is still required, particularly at lower temperatures near the glass transition temperature. In addition a series of classical Taylor Tests were used to validate the model under impact loading conditions at room temperature. The DYNA3D simulations gave very good results compared to the experiments for these impact conditions.

Metal/fluoropolymer materials are typical reactive materials. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)/Al/CuO reactive materials were studied in this research. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), quasi-static compression, the Split Hopkinson pressure bar test, and the drop hammer test were used to study the mechanical properties and induced reaction characteristics of the reactive materials with different Al/CuO thermite contents and different particle sizes. SEM images of the samples demonstrate that the reactive materials were mixed evenly. The compression test results show that, if the particle size of PTFE was too small, the strength of reactive materials after sintering was reduced. After sintering, with the increase in the content of Al/CuO thermite, the strength of the micro-sized PTFE/Al/CuO firstly increased and then decreased. The Johnson–Cook constitutive model can be used to characterize the reactive materials, and the parameters of the Johnson–Cook constitutive model of No. 3 reactive materials (PTFE/Al:Al/CuO = 3:1) were obtained. The reliability of the parameters was verified by numerical simulation. Drop hammer tests show that the addition of Al/CuO aluminothermic materials or the use of nano-sized PTFE/Al reactive materials can significantly improve the sensitivity of the material. The research in this paper can provide a reference for the preparation, transportation, storage, and application of reactive materials.

In this study, the effects of strain rate and temperature on the flow stress of Inconel718 were analyzed by Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) experiment and quasi-static compression experiment. The classical JC constitutive model was established by combining the quasi-static compression experiment with the SHPB experiment. According to the effects of different grain sizes and [Formula: see text] phase on dislocation pile-up, the dislocation pile-up theory was introduced to modify the JC constitutive model. The modified constitutive model was compiled in FORTRAN language, and VUMAT user material subroutine was called and secondary development was carried out to establish the polycrystalline simulation model with different grain sizes. The uniaxial tensile and compression simulation process of polycrystal with different grain sizes was performed. Through comparing the simulation results with the experimental data. The correlation coefficient R, between the simulation and experimental values, is 0.97,981, and the average relative error is only 3.72%. The accuracy of the modified constitutive model was verified.

7075-T651 aluminum alloy are widely used in aeronautical applications such as wing panels, but there is no corresponding constitutive model for it now. In this paper, the flow behavior of 7050-T651 aluminum alloy was investigated by Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) and quasi-static compression experiment system. The strain hardening parameters were obtained by quasi-static compression experiment data, and the strain rate hardening parameters at various strain rates (1000-3000s-1) and room temperature, and the thermal softening parameter at various temperatures (20-300°C) where strain rate is 3000s-1 were obtained by SHPB experiment data. Then the constitutive equation of 7075-T651 aluminum alloy is obtained based on Johnson-Cook constitutive equation model.

Although highly desirable, the experimental technology of the dynamic mechanical properties of materials under multiaxial impact loading is rarely explored. In this study, a true-biaxial split Hopkinson pressure bar device is developed to achieve the biaxial synchronous impact loading of a specimen. A symmetrical wedge-shaped, dual-wave bar is designed to decompose a single stress wave into two independent and symmetric stress waves that eventually form an orthogonal system and load the specimen synchronously. Furthermore, a combination of ground gaskets and lubricant is employed to eliminate the shear stress wave and separate the coupling of the shear and axial stress waves propagating in bars. Some confirmatory and applied tests are carried out, and the results show not only the feasibility of this modified device but also the dynamic mechanical characteristics of specimens under biaxial impact loading. This novel technique is readily implementable and also has good application potential in material mechanics testing.

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fiber has attracted significant attention for reinforced concrete (RC) structure rehabilitation due to its large rupture strain (LRS; more than 7%) characteristic and recyclability from waste plastic bottles. This study presents a dynamic tensile test of PET fiber bundles performed using a drop-weight impact system. Results showed that the tensile strength and the elastic modulus of the PET fiber bundles increased, whereas the failure strain and the toughness decreased with the increasing strain rate from 1/600 to 160 s−1. In addition, the performance of concrete confined with the PET fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) under impact loading was investigated based on a 75 mm-diameter split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) device and a drop-weight apparatus. For the SHPB test, owing to the large rupture strain property of PET FRP, the PET FRP-confined concrete exhibited significantly better performance under impact loading compared to its counterpart confined with carbon FRPs (CFRPs). During the drop-weight test, the confinement of the PET FRP composites to the concrete columns as external jackets not only improved the peak impact force, but also prolonged the impact process.

This work evaluates the mechanical and dynamic behavior of recycled polycarbonate (rPC) from industrial waste. This study aims to verify whether the recycled process adopted for polycarbonate promotes both mechanical and dynamic properties values under compressive stress, similar to those found for virgin polycarbonate. The mechanical recycling of the rPC was carried out using the thermoforming technique in a thermal press. Two tests were carried out to evaluate the dynamic response of rPC. The quasi-static compression test was performed on a universal machine. The dynamic in a split Hopkinson pressure bar was performed with three different strain rates. The results showed that the mechanical and primary recycling adopted in this work promoted values of yield stress in compression (77 MPa) and dynamic (up to 118 MPa), close to or superior to those reported so far in the literature.

Mg–SiC nanocomposite samples were fabricated using split Hopkinson pressure bar for different SiC volume fractions and under different temperature conditions. The microstructures and mechanical properties of the samples including microhardness and stress–strain curves were captured from quasi-static and dynamic tests carried out using Instron and split Hopkinson pressure bar, respectively. Nanocomposites were produced by hot and high-rate compaction method using split Hopkinson pressure bar. Temperature also significantly affects relative density and can lead to 2.5% increase in density. Adding SiC-reinforcing particles to samples increased their Vickers microhardness from 46 VH to 68 VH (45% increase) depending on the compaction temperature. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that by increasing temperature from 25℃ to 450℃, the Mg crystallite size increases from 37 nm to 72 nm and decreases the lattice strain from 45% to 30%. In quasi-static tests, the ultimate compressive strength for the compaction temperature of 450℃ was improved from 123% for Mg–0 vol.% SiC to 200% for the Mg–10 vol.% SiC samples compared with those of the compaction at room temperature. In dynamic tests, the ultimate strength for Mg–10 vol.% SiC sample compacted at high strain rate increased remarkably by 110% compared with that for Mg–0 vol.% SiC sample compacted at low strain rate.
