In this paper, fracture properties of Sn3Ag0.5Cu leadfree high strain-rate solder-copper interface have been evaluated and validated with those from experimental methods. Bi-material Copper-Solder specimen have been tested at strain rates typical of shock and vibration with impact-hammer tensile testing machine. Models for crack initiation and propagation have been developed using Line spring method and extended finite element method (XFEM). Critical stress intensity factor for Sn3Ag0.5Cu solder-copper interface have been extracted from line spring models. Displacements and derivatives of displacements have been measured at crack tip and near interface of bi-material specimen using high speed imaging in conjunction with digital image correlation. Specimens have been tested at strain rates of 20s−1 and 55s−1 and the event is monitored using high speed data acquisition system as well as high speed cameras with frame rates in the neighborhood of 300,000 fps. Previously the authors have applied the technique of XFEM and DIC for predicting failure location and to develop constitutive models in leaded and few leadfree solder alloys [Lall 2010a]. The measured fracture properties have been applied to prediction of failure in ball-grid arrays subjected to high-g shock loading in the neighborhood of 12500g in JEDEC configuration. Prediction of fracture in board assemblies using explicit finite element full-field models of board assemblies under transient-shock is new. Stress intensity factor at Copper pad and bulk solder interface is also evaluated in ball grid array packages.

The influence of the strain rate on the plastic deformation of the metals was significant during the high strain rate of loading. However, it was very difficult to obtain high strain rate data (≥ 104 s-1) by experimental techniques. Therefore, the finite element method and iterative method were employed in this study. Numerical simulation was used to characterise the deformation behavior of Hadfield steel during explosion treatment. Base on experimental data, a modified Johnson-Cook equation for Hadfield steel under various strain rate was fitted. The development of two field variables was quantified during explosion hardening: equivalent stress and strain rates.

The main aim of this research is to present complete methodological guidelines for dynamic characterization of elastomers when subjected to strain rates of 100/s–10,000/s. We consider the following three aspects: (i) the design of high strain rate testing apparatus, (ii) finite element analysis for the optimization of the experimental setup, and (iii) experimental parameters and validation for the response of an elastomeric specimen. To test low impedance soft materials, design of a modified Kolsky bar is discussed. Based on this design, the testing apparatus was constructed, validated, and optimized numerically using finite element methods. Furthermore, investigations on traditional pulse shaping techniques and a new design for pulse shaper are described. The effect of specimen geometry on the homogeneous deformation has been thoroughly accounted for. Using the optimized specimen geometry and pulse shaping technique, nitrile butadiene rubber was tested at different strain rates, and the experimental findings were compared to numerical predictions.

The tensile behaviors of 3-D woven fabric under high strain-rate states, i.e. tensile impact behaviors, are important for the design of the fabrics and the reinforced composites under impulsive loading. This paper reports the testing and the numerical simulation of the impact tension behaviors of 3-D woven fabric under high strain rates compared with those under quasi-static tension. The tensile behaviors of 3-D orthogonal woven fabric (3DOWF) were investigated using a MTS 810.23 material testing system and a self-designed split Hopkinson tension bar apparatus, under a wide range of strain rates (0.003–2308/s). The tensile stress–strain curves obtained from the quasi-static and high strain rates were used to analyze the rate-sensitivity of 3DOWF tensile behaviors. It was found that both the tensile strength and the failure strain increased with increases in the strain rate. The two-phase tensile stiffness phenomenon of 3DOWF under high strain rates has been observed experimentally. A microstructure model combined with finite element analysis was established to explain the tensile failure mechanisms of 3DOWF under high strain rates. It was found that the fabric architecture influences the stress wave propagation, thus leading to the two-phase tensile stiffness phenomenon in the stress–strain curve under high strain-rate tensions.

We have developed a new high strain rate experiment in biaxial tension that allows for constitutive model validation at engineering strain rates from 50/s to over 1000/s. In the experiment, a flat disk of the material is clamped at a fixed radial distance. A rail-guided impact sled with a hemispherical impact head is released from the desired height and impacts the disk at the center, potentially deforming the sample to failure. Drop height and impact mass can be varied to modify peak strain rate and impact energy, and the wide range of test conditions allow for testing to be performed on many classes of materials, including thermoplastics and elastomers. The stress and strain fields are calculated using finite element simulations with the proposed constitutive model, and the constitutive model is validated by matching the force versus displacement data of the impact head recorded during experiment to the simulation. In this paper, we discuss results from the experiment and finite element simulations of the experiment on PA (polyamide, nylon) and PEEK (polyether ether ketone). The new experiment allows for validation and refinement of constitutive models, including failure, at high strain rates and in a multiaxial stress state.

In this paper, the high speed tension experiments have been performed on ultra high strength bullet proof steel. The samples were cut from the bullet proof steel plate after hard-module quenching with thickness of 3.7 mm. The mechanical properties at strain rates of 0.001 s-1, 0.01 s-1, 0.1 s-1 and 1 s-1 were carried out on MTS810, while those at higher strain rates of 200 s-1, 500s-1 and 1000s-1 were tested on HTM5020 high speed tension tester and Hopkinson bar. The data from the high-speed tension experiments were fitted via Johnson-Cook constitutive equation, and the fracture surface of each sample was analyzed by SEM. The results indicate that, the shoot-resistance capability of bullet proof steel is closely related to its strength, thickness and flow behaviors under high strain rate. The shoot-resistance will be improved in the case of higher strength and better matching between strength and elongation. The Johnson-Cook equation fitted via experimental data provides fundament to numerical simulation. With the increase of strain rate, the size and depth of dimple trend to decrease and the depth of dimple changes less in steel with lower strength and higher elongation. The SEM analysis of fracture is benefit for further understanding of deformation and fracture mode under high strain rate.

An experimental methodology has been developed for the tensile characterisation of ductile isotropic metals at high strain-rate. This study includes the region beyond plastic instability or necking, which is rarely analysed for conventional applications. The research explores an imaging technique used to track the geometry of the specimen during tensile tests and calculate true local values of stress and strain by applying Bridgman theory [1]. To improve the quality of the images taken at high strain-rate an in-situ high speed shadowgraph technique has been developed, and to obtain better results from the images a sub-pixel accuracy edge detection algorithm has been implemented. The technique has been applied to an austenitic stainless steel. Its tensile behaviour has been assessed by testing round samples at strain-rates ranging from quasi-static to ~103 s-1. The results obtained with the proposed methodology have been validated by comparison with more conventional techniques such as video-extensometer and digital image correlation in the pre-necking region and good performance even at the highest strain-rate tested has been proved.

The dynamic response of the turbine blade materials is indispensable for analysis of erosions of turbine blades as a result of impulsive loading associated with gas flow. This paper is concerned with the dynamic material properties of the Inconel 718 alloy which is widely used in the high speed turbine blade. The dynamic response at the corresponding level of the strain rate should be acquired with an adequate experimental technique and apparatus due to the inertia effect and the stress wave propagation. In this paper, the dynamic response of the Inconel 718 at the intermediate strain rate ranged from 1/s to 400/s is obtained from the high speed tensile test and that at the high strain rate above 1000/s is obtained from the split Hopkinson pressure bar test. The effects of the strain rate on the dynamic flow stress, the strain rate sensitivity and the failure elongation are evaluated with the experimental results. Experimental results from both the quasi-static and the high strain rate up to 3000/s are interpolated in order to construct the constitutive relation that should be applied to simulate the dynamic behavior of the turbine blade made of the Inconel 718.
