To quantitatively study the influence of temperature and strain rate on the brittleness of sandstone, the mechanical parameters of sandstone under different temperatures and strain rates are collected from the previous literature, and two empirical equations for calculating rock brittleness are used to quantitatively calculate and evaluate the brittleness of sandstone. The results show that both BI1 and BI2 can characterize the brittleness of sandstone, but the applicable conditions are different. The BI1 method is more accurate in calculating the variation in the sandstone brittleness with a strain rate, while the BI2 method is more accurate in calculating its variation with temperature. The brittleness of sandstone increases with the increase in the strain rate, especially when the strain rate exceeds 100 s-1. Under low-temperature conditions, the strength and brittleness of rocks increase due to the strengthening of ice. Under the condition of high temperature, the thermal damage to sandstone is intensified after 400°C, and the quartz phase changes after 600°C, which leads to the increase in microcrack density and the decrease in brittleness of sandstone. The conditions of low temperature and high strain rate are beneficial to the enhancement of sandstone brittleness.

In this study, aluminium rods were cold extruded in a direct process by KOBO method in two variants: variant I with varying (decreasing) frequency of die oscillations necessary to maintain a constant extrusion force, and variant II with constant frequency of die oscillations, leading to a decrease in the extrusion force. The tensile test of rods was carried out in a temperature range of 20 - 200°C and at a strain rate from 8xE10-5 to 8xE10-1 s-1. Significant differences in the elongation of the tested rods were observed. It was found that rods extruded at variable die oscillations and stretched at room temperature had similar elongation, independent of the strain rate. With the increase of temperature, the elongation of samples stretched at a low speed was growing from a value of about 8% at room temperature up to 40% at 200°C. At high strain rates, despite the increasing temperature, the elongation remained at the same level, i.e. 5-6%. In rods extruded at constant die oscillations, the elongation at a low strain rate was growing with the temperature from 10% at room temperature up to 29% at 200°C. At high strain rates, the elongation decreased from 28% at room temperature to 11% at 200°C. The results were interrelated with examinations of the structure of rods and fractures of tensile specimens. In the material extruded by KOBO method with constant die oscillations, the beginnings of the recrystallization process were observed, absent in the material extruded at variable die oscillations.

Composite materials are used in a wide variety of low temperature applications because of their unique and highly tailorable properties. These low temperature applications of composites include their use in Arctic environments and most of them involve dynamic loads, for example, spacecraft applications where they use cryogenic engines, hypervelocity impact situations at very high altitudes, civil engineering applications in extreme cold regions, and offshore structures in cold regions. The U.S. Navy stated that under certain conditions naval vessels might encounter strain rates up to 1200/sec. Because the dynamic properties of composite materials may vary widely with both strain rates and temperature, it is important to use the dynamic properties at the expected temperatures when the loading conditions involve high strain rates and extreme temperatures. Very few materials have been characterized at high strain rates even at room temperature. Still less effort has been spent in trying to model the high strain rate properties to develop a predictive capability at room temperature. It has been hoped that earlier modeling for metals, such as Johnson and Cook [1], and Zerilli and Armstrong [2] might be used for composite materials. The Johnson-Cook model was modified by Weeks and Sun [3] for composite materials. Other recent modeling research has been performed by Theruppukuzki and Sun [4], Hsiao, Daniel and Cordes [5] and Tsai and Sun [6]. Woldesenbet and Vinson [7] have characterized the high strain rate and fiber orientation effects on one typical graphite/epoxy composite. Most of these characterizations model ultimate strengths only.

The dynamic deformation behavior of an as-extruded Mg-Gd-Y magnesium alloy was studied by using Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) apparatus under high strain rates of 102 s-1 to 103s-1 in the present work, in the mean while the microstructure evolution after deformation were inspected by OM and SEM. The results demonstrated that the material is not sensitive to the strain rate and with increasing the strain rate the yield stress of as-extruded Mg-Gd-Y magnesium alloy has a tendency of increasing. The microstructure observation results shown that several deformation localization areas with the width of 10mm formed in the strain rates of 465s-1 and 2140s-1 along the compression axis respectively, and the grain boundaries within the deformation localization area are parallel with each other and are perpendicular to the compression axis. While increasing the strain rate to 3767s-1 the deformation seems become uniform and all the grains are compressed flat in somewhat. The deformation mechanism of as-extruded Mg-Gd-Y magnesium alloy under high strain rate at room temperature was also discussed.

In an impact phenomenon the material is subjected to very short duration high force levels resulting large plastic deformations and rise in temperature at high strain rates. A circular rod impacting against a rigid surface called as Taylor rod impact test is widely used for determining the mechanical behaviour of materials subjected to high strain rates with associated increase in temperature. A three-dimensional large deformation, thermo-elasto-plastic, dynamic, contact, finite element formulation is developed to study the effect of temperature rise due to plastic deformation and surface friction on the deformation and stress fields. It is found that the predicted equivalent plastic strain values are influenced by temperature generated due to plastic deformation and surface friction. The values of the coefficient of friction have a profound effect on the location of fracture initiation on the impacting face in a circular rod.

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.

The uniaxial tensile properties of 4-step 3D braided E-glass/epoxy composites under quasi-static and high-strain rate loadings have been investigated to evaluate the tensile failure mode at different strain rates. The uniaxial tensile properties at high strain rates from 800/s to 2100/s were tested using the split Hopkinson tension bar (SHTB) technique. The tensile properties at quasi-static strain rate were also tested and compared with those in high strain rates. Z-transform theory is applied to 3D braided composites to characterize the system dynamic behaviors in frequency domain. The frequency responses and the stability of 3D braided composites under quasi-static and high-strain rate compression have been analyzed and discussed in the Z-transform domain. The results indicate that the stress-strain curves are rate sensitive, and tensile modulus, maximum tensile stress and corresponding tensile strain are also sensitive to the strain rate. The tensile modulus, maximum tensile stress of the 3D braided composites are linearly increased with the strain rate. With increasing of the strain rate (from 0.001/s to 2100/s), the tensile failure of the 3D braided composite specimens has a tendency of transition from ductile failure to brittle failure. The magnitude response and phase response is very different in quasi-static loading with that in high-strain rate loading. The 3D braided composite system is more stable at high strain rate than quasi-static loading.

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.
