The demand for bio-sourced materials is currently increasing. Cork material because of its unique properties (fire resistant, energy absorbing, …) is then an excellent candidate for a large set of applications. In order to widen its possible uses, cork agglomerates with reinforcements at a 0.48 density were studied to compare their mechanical performances with classical cork agglomerates. This paper investigates the effect of these foreign reinforcements on the properties of agglomerated cork under a compressive loading. The material behavior has been determined as a function of the average strain rate and the direction of solicitation. The microstructure was first observed through optical and scanning electronic microscopy, spotting charges between each cork bead. The characterisation of cork at different strain rates was then carried out. An electromechanical testing machine was used to apply an uniaxial compression at quasi-static strain rates. Reinforced agglomerated cork was found to be anisotropic and strain-rate dependant. Its micro-structure reveals at complex composite material influencing strongly mechanical properties. Both Young's modulus and absorbed energy density at 0.6 strain increase with the cross-head speed displacement. From 12.7 MPa and 0.77 J.mm-3 when compressed at 0.05 mm·min-1 to 19.9 MPa and 1.44 J·mm-3 at 500mm·min-1 in the Off-plane direction.

Double Hit

The dynamic recrystallisation (DRX) behaviour of magnesium AZ31 is investigated using a plane strain compression (PSC) testing machine at 450°C. The variables included strain rate, double hit including intermittent anneal and double hits with different strain rate at each hit. The alloy shows higher peak stress and strain with increasing strain rates. Predominant basal texture with different intensities are observed at different strain rates. The annealing treatment between double tests leads to strong basal texture. Reversal of strain rate during double hit results in similar flow curves. This shows that in AZ31 alloy, DRX mechanism is independent of the initial microstructure and only depends on the test condition viz. temperature, strain rate and total equivalent strain.

Dynamic and quasi-static tensile tests of 5083P-O aluminium alloy were carried out using RPL100 electronic creep/fatigue testing machine and the split Hopkinson tension bar, respectively. The dynamic constitutive relation of the material at high strain rates was studied, and the constitutive model in accordance with Cowper–Symonds form was established. At the same time, a method to describe the constitutive relation of material using the strain rate interpolation method which is included in LS-DYNA software was proposed. The advantages and accuracy of this method were verified by comparing the results of the finite element simulation with the fitting results of the Cowper-Symonds model. The influence of material strain rate effect on squeezing force, energy absorption and deformation mode of the squeezing energy-absorbing structure based on the constitutive models of 5083P-O were studied by means of finite element simulation. The results show that when the strain rate of the structure deformation is low, the material strain rate strengthening effect has little influence on the structure. However, with the increase of the strain rate, the strengthening effect of the material will improve the squeezing force and the energy absorption of the structure, and will also influence the deformation mode, that is, the decrease of the deformation with high strain rates while the increase of the deformation with low strain rates.

Rate Testing

Materials undergo various loading conditions during different manufacturing processes, including varying strain rates and temperatures. Research has shown that the deformation of metals and alloys during manufacturing processes such as metal forming, machining, and friction stir welding (FSW), can reach a strain rate ranging from 10−1 to 106 s−1. Hence, studying the flow behavior of materials at different strain rates is important to understanding the material response during manufacturing processes. Experimental data for a low strain rate of <101 s−1 and a high strain rate of >103 s−1 are readily available by using traditional testing devices such as a servo-hydraulic testing machine and the split Hopkinson pressure bar method, respectively. However, for the intermediate strain rate (101 to 103 s−1), very few testing devices are available. Testing the intermediate strain rate requires a demanding test regime, in which researchers have expanded the use of special instruments. This review paper describes the development and evolution of the existing intermediate strain rate testing devices. They are divided based on the loading mechanism; it includes the high-speed servo-hydraulic testing machines, hybrid testing apparatus, the drop tower, and the flywheel machine. A general description of the testing device is systematically reviewed; which includes the working principles, some critical theories, technological innovation in load measurement techniques, components of the device, basic technical assumption, and measuring techniques. In addition, some research direction on future implementation and development of an intermediate strain rate apparatus is also discussed in detail.

Stress relaxation tests, in which the gage length of the specimen was maintained constant by servocontrol, were performed on 2618-T61 aluminum. The test results, which were independent of the stiffness of the testing machine, were converted into a relation between stress and inelastic strain rate. It was found that the contribution by the anelastic component to the total stress relaxation was significant only in the initial stage. The validity of using the obtained stress versus inelastic-strain-rate relation to characterize the material behavior is also discussed. Results do not substantiate the concept of a “hardness” flow curve, but data were well predicted from the creep data by theory based on strain hardening and viscoelasticity.

The dynamic characterization of concrete is fundamental to understand the material behavior in case of heavy earthquakes and dynamic events. The implementation of material constitutive law is of capital importance for the numerical simulation of the dynamic processes as those caused by earthquakes. Splitting tensile concrete specimens were tested at strain rates of 10−7 s−1to 10−4 s−1in an MTS material test machine. Results of tensile strength versus strain rate are presented and compared with compressive strength and existing models at similar strain rates. Dynamic increase factor versus strain rate curves for tensile strength were also evaluated and discussed. The same tensile data are compared with strength data using a thermodynamic model. Results of the tests show a significant strain rate sensitive behavior, exhibiting dynamic tensile strength increasing with strain rate. In the quasistatic strain rate regime, the existing models often underestimate the experimental results. The thermodynamic theory for the splitting tensile strength of concrete satisfactorily describes the experimental findings of strength as effect of strain rates.

Strain Rate Compression

In automobile accidents, abdominal injuries are often life-threatening yet not apparent at the time of initial injury. The liver is the most commonly injured abdominal organ from this type of trauma. In contrast to current safety tests involving crash dummies, a more detailed, efficient approach to predict the risk of human injuries is computational modelling and simulations. Further, the development of accurate computational human models requires knowledge of the mechanical properties of tissues in various stress states, especially in high-impact scenarios. In this study, a polymeric split-Hopkinson pressure bar (PSHPB) was utilized to apply various high strain rates to porcine liver tissue to investigate its material behavior during high strain rate compression. Liver tissues were subjected to high strain rate impacts at 350, 550, 1000, and 1550 s−1. Tissue directional dependency was also explored by PSHPB testing along three orthogonal directions of liver at a strain rate of 350 s−1. Histology of samples from each of the three directions was performed to examine the structural properties of porcine liver. Porcine liver tissue showed an inelastic and strain rate-sensitive response at high strain rates. The liver tissue was found lacking directional dependency, which could be explained by the isotropic microstructure observed after staining and imaging. Furthermore, finite element analysis (FEA) of the PSHPB tests revealed the stress profile inside liver tissue and served as a validation of PSHPB methodology. The present findings can assist in the development of more accurate computational models of liver tissue at high-rate impact conditions allowing for understanding of subfailure and failure mechanisms.

Fiber Reinforced Laminates

This paper focuses on progressive damage investigation and failure analysis of carbon fiber reinforced laminates under varying strain rates in tensile mode. Samples specimen prepared for experiments were made from unidirectional ply with 70/30 fiber-matrix volume fraction and cross-ply (0°-90°) balanced stacking. These laminates were subjected to uniaxial longitudinal tensile loading in a Universal Testing Machine (UTM) with varying strain rates. Results acquired from the experiments were used to plot stress versus strain curves for different strain rates. These plots were subsequently analyzed to investigate the effect of varying loading rates on the mechanical properties and failure behavior of these composites. Experimental data revealed a considerable increase in the tensile strength with increasing strain rate. The tensile modulus and strain to failure were also found to exhibit slight increase with the increasing strain rate.

Zk60 Magnesium Alloy

The high temperature compressive tests of squeeze casting ZK60 magnesium alloy with temperatures of 573-723K and strain rate in the range of 0.001-1s-1 were performed on Gleeble-1500D thermal simulator testing machine. Optical microscopy was performed to elaborate on the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) grain growth. TEM findings indicate that mechanical twinning, dislocation slip, and dynamic recrystallization are the materials typical deformation features. Variations of flow behavior with deformation temperature as well as strain rate were analyzed. Analysis of the flow behavior and microstructure observations indicated that flow localization was observed at lower temperature and higher strain rates, which should be avoided during mechanical processing. Dynamic recrystallization occurred at higher temperature and moderate strain rates, which improved the ductility of the material. The optimum hot working conditions for ZK60 alloy were suggested.

Strain Responses

The passive and stimulated engineering stress–large strain mechanical properties of skeletal muscle were measured at the midbelly of the rabbit tibialis anterior. The purpose of these experiments was to provide previously unavailable constitutive information based on the true geometry of the muscle and to determine the effect of strain rate on these responses. An apparatus including an ultrasound imager, high-speed digital imager, and a servohydraulic linear actuator was used to apply constant velocity deformations to the tibialis anterior of an anesthetized neurovascularly intact rabbit. The average isometric tetanic stress prior to elongation was 0.44 ± 0.15 MPa. During elongation the average stimulated modulus was 0.97 ± 0.34 MPa and was insensitive to rate of loading. The passive stress–strain responses showed a nonlinear stiffening response typical of biologic soft tissue. Both the passive and stimulated stress–strain responses were sensitive to strain rate over the range of strain rates (1 to 25 s−1). Smaller changes in average strain rate (1 to 10, and 10 to 25 s−1) did not produce statistically significant changes in these responses, particularly in the stimulated responses, which were less sensitive to average strain rate than the passive responses. This relative insensitivity to strain rate suggests that pseudoelastic functions generated from an appropriate strain rate test may be suitable for the characterization of the responses of muscle over a narrow range of strain rates, particularly in stimulated muscle.

In this study, LLDPE/RH composites were tested under various strain rate loadings (0.001/s, 0.01/s and 0.1/s) using the universal testing machine. Static compression properties of LLDPE/RH composites with different filler contents of 5 wt%, 10 wt%, 15 wt%,20 wt% and, 30 wt% RH were investigated. Results show that the yield stress, ultimate compressive strength and the rigidity properties of LLDPE/RH composites were strongly affected by both filler contents and strain rate loadings. Apart from that, the rate of sensitivity of LLDPE/RH show great dependency towards applied strain rate, where it was increased with increasing strain rates. Unfortunately, the thermal activation values show contrary trend. Visually, from the post damage analysis, the results show that applied strain rates affected the deformation behavior of tested LLDPE/RH composites.
