Dynamic failure behaviors of the extruded Mg -12 Gd -3 Y -0.4 Zr alloy were investigated by means of optical microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The dynamic tensile and compressive tests were carried out at 423K~798K and strain rates of 102~103s-1 using a split Hopkinson pressure bar. Additionally, in order to study the failure characteristic of this alloy at higher strain rates, such as 107s-1, a series of ballistic tests were carried out. The results indicate that the failure mechanisms of both tensile and compressive specimens exhibit an obvious dependence on the temperature. As the testing temperatures increased from 423K to 798K, the fractographs of the tensile specimens varied from quasi-cleavage fracture to intergranular rupture, and the failure modes of the compressive specimens changed from shear cracks to dynamic recrystallization zone. Adiabatic shear bands with an average width 10µm were observed in the post-test magnesium targets penetrated by steel balls.

Deformation and fracture behaviors of Ti-6Al-4V-0.1B alloy with Widmanstätten, equiaxed and bimodal microstructures were investigated by Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) under high strain rates of 2100-3200 s-1. The results showed that the equiaxed and bimodal structures had a higher bearing capacity at high strain rates than that of the Widmanstätten structure. With the same microstructure, the increase of strain rate gave rise to an improved uniform plastic deformation. According to an observation on the deformed microstructure, it was found that adiabatic shear behavior was the main reason for failure and fracture of the alloy. The formation and propagation of adiabatic shear bands (ASBs) was the precursor for the failure and fracture of the material. Cavities at the interface between TiB phase and the matrix readily formed due to the uncoordinated deformation, which are not the dominate reason for the failure and fracture.

Strain rate response of PMMA was investigated under uniaxial compression at different rates of strain ranging from 0.0001/sec to about 4300/sec. High rate experiments (greater than 1/sec rates) were conducted using a split-Hopkinson Pressure bar (SHPB) with pulse-shaping to impose the compressive loading of the specimen at constant strain rate under dynamic stress equilibrium. At strain rates 1/s and below, intrinsic softening occurred after the initial yield and then followed by the strain hardening. However, at 1/s strain rate, material started to soften further due to thermal softening dominating over strain hardening. For higher strain rates (greater than 1/s), PMMA failed before, during or immediately after the yield depending on the rate of loading. For these high rates, strain to failure decreases with the increase in the strain rates whereas failure stress (except at very high rates where failure occurred before yielding) and modulus increase with increasing strain rate.

Abstract Results for unidirectional fiber reinforced polymer composites (E-glass/vinylester) with 30%, 50% fiber volume fractions under dynamic uniaxial compression are presented. Specimens are loaded in the fiber direction using a servo-hydraulic material testing system for low strain rates and a Kolsky (split Hopkinson) pressure bar for high strain rates, up to 3000/s. The results indicate that the compressive strength of the composite increases with increasing strain rate. Post-test scanning electron microscopy is used to identify the failure modes. In uniaxial compression the specimens are split axially (followed by fiber kink band formation). Based on the experimental results and observations, an energy-based analytic model for studying axial splitting phenomenon in unidirectional fiber reinforced composites is extended to predict the compressive strength of these composites under dynamic uniaxial loading condition.

In the present work, the localized features of adiabatic shear bands (ASBs) of our recently designed damage tolerance α+β dual-phase Ti alloy are investigated by the integration of electron backscattering diffraction and experimental and theoretical Schmid factor analysis. At the strain rate of 1.8 × 104 s−1 induced by a split Hopkinson pressure bar, the shear stress reaches a maximum of 1951 MPa with the shear strain of 1.27. It is found that the α+β dual-phase colony structures mediate the extensive plastic deformations along α/β phase boundaries, contributing to the formations of ASBs, microvoids, and cracks, and resulting in stable and unstable softening behaviors. Moreover, the dynamic recrystallization yields the dispersion of a great amount of fine α grains along the shearing paths and in the ASBs, promoting the softening and shear localization. On the contrary, low-angle grain boundaries present good resistance to the formation of cracks and the thermal softening, while the non-basal slipping dramatically contributes to the strain hardening, supporting the promising approaches to fabricate the advanced damage tolerance dual-phase Ti alloy.

Simulation of fracture initiation, propagation, and arrest is a problem of interest for many applications in the scientific community. There are a number of numerical methods used for this purpose, and among the most widely accepted is the combined finite-discrete element method (FDEM). To model fracture with FDEM, material behavior is described by specifying a combination of elastic properties, strengths (in the normal and tangential directions), and energy dissipated in failure modes I and II, which are modeled by incorporating a parameterized softening curve defining a post-peak stress-displacement relationship unique to each material. In this work, we implement a data assimilation method to estimate key model parameter values with the objective of improving the calibration processes for FDEM fracture simulations. Specifically, we implement the ensemble Kalman filter assimilation method to the Hybrid Optimization Software Suite (HOSS), a FDEM-based code which was developed for the simulation of fracture and fragmentation behavior. We present a set of assimilation experiments to match the numerical results obtained for a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) model with experimental observations for granite. We achieved this by calibrating a subset of model parameters. The results show a steady convergence of the assimilated parameter values towards observed time/stress curves from the SHPB observations. In particular, both tensile and shear strengths seem to be converging faster than the other parameters considered.

The dynamic failure characteristics of coal rock exposed to high temperatures were studied by using a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) system. The relationship between energy and time history under different temperature conditions was obtained. The energy evolution and the failure modes of specimens were analyzed. Results are as follows: during the test, more than 60% of the incident energy was not involved in the breaking of the sample, while it was reflected back. With the increase of temperature, the reflected energy increased continuously; transmitted and absorbed energy showed an opposite variation. At the temperature of 25 to 100°C, the absorbed energy was less than that transmitted, while this phenomenon was opposite after 100°C. The values of specific energy absorption (SEA) were distributed at 0.04 to 0.1 J·cm−3, and its evolution with temperature could be divided into four different stages. Under different temperature conditions, the failure modes and the broken blocks of the samples were obviously different, combining with the variation of microstructure characteristics of coal at high temperatures; the physical mechanism of damage and failure patterns of coal rock are explained from the viewpoint of energy.

The mechanical properties and fracture failure behavior of the near β-type Ti-5Al-5Mo-5V-3Cr-X (X = 1Fe or 1Zr) titanium alloys were studied by Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) experiment under the dynamic loading conditions at a strain rate of 1.5 × 103 s-1–5.0 × 103 s-1. Results showed that the SHPB specimen fractured in the direction of maximum shearing stress at an angle of 45° with the compression axis. The fracture surface revealed the shear and tension zones with cleavage steps and parabolic dimples. Severe early unloading was observed on the Ti-5553 alloy under a strain rate of 4,900 s-1 loading condition, and the dynamic property of the Ti-55531Zr alloy was proved to be the optimal.

Additive manufacturing by Selective Laser Melting of metals is attracting substantial attention, due to its advantages, such as short-time production of customized structures. This technique is useful for building complex components using a metallic pre-alloyed powder. One of the most used materials in AMSLM is AlSi10Mg powder. Additively manufactured AlSi10Mg may be used as a structural material and it static mechanical properties were widely investigated. Properties in the strain rates of 5×102–1.6×103 s-1 and at higher strain rates of 5×103 –105 s-1 have been also reported. The aim of this study is investigation of dynamic properties in the 7×102–8×103 s-1 strain rate range, using the split Hopkinson pressure bar technique. It was found that the dynamic properties at strain-rates of 1×103–3×103 s-1 depend on a build direction and affected by heat treatment. At higher and lower strain-rates the effect of build direction is limited. The anisotropic nature of the material was determined by the ellipticity of samples after the SHPB test. No strain rate sensitivity was observed.

AbstractTo study the deformation behavior and recrystallization of alloy 718 in annealed and aged state, compression tests were performed using Split-Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) at high strain rates (1000 to 3000 s−1), for temperatures between 20 $$^\circ $$ ∘ C and 1100 $$^\circ $$ ∘ C (293 K to 1373 K). Optical microscope (OM) and electron back-scatter diffraction (EBSD) technique were employed to characterize the microstructural evolution of the alloy. The stress–strain curves show that the flow stress level decreases with increasing temperature and decreasing strain rate. In addition, up to 1000 $$^\circ $$ ∘ C, the aged material presents higher strength and is more resistant to deformation than the annealed one, with a yield strength around 200 MPa higher. For both states, dynamic and meta-dynamic recrystallization occurred when the material is deformed at 1000 $$^\circ $$ ∘ C and 1100 $$^\circ $$ ∘ C, leading to a refinement of the microstructure. As necklace structures were identified, discontinuous recrystallization is considered to be the main recrystallization mechanism. The recrystallization kinetics is faster for higher temperatures, as the fraction of recrystallized grains is higher and the average recrystallized grain size is larger after deformation at 1100 $$^\circ $$ ∘ C than after deformation at 1000 $$^\circ $$ ∘ C.
