The dynamic behavior of steel fibre reinforced self-compacting concrete (SFRSCC) was investigated by using a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB). SFRSCC specimens with two strength classes of about 40 MPa and 60 MPa were prepared. Different steel fibre volume fractions were used varying from 0.5% to 2.0%. The tested strain rate ranged from about 50 to 240 s−1. Significant rate dependence was observed, and dynamic increase factor (DIF) was used to quantify the rate sensitivity. The results showed that both the matrix strength and fibre content had effect on the strain rate sensitivity of SFRSCC. A DIF formula was proposed for describing the dynamic strength of SFRSCC at high strain rates, and a dynamic damage constitutive model was derived to describe the stress-strain relationship of SFRSCC. The parameters in the model were determined by fitting the experimental data. Good consistency between theoretical curves and experimental data was obtained.

Strain-rate sensitivities of 55-65vol.% aluminum 2024-T6/TiB2composites and the corresponding aluminum 2024-T6 matrix were investigated using split Hopkinson pressure bar. Results showed that 55-65vol.% aluminum 2024-T6/TiB2composites exhibited significant strain-rate sensitivities, which were three times higher than that of the aluminum 2024-T6 matrix. The strain-rate sensitivity of the aluminum 2024-T6 matrix composites rose obviously with reinforcement content increasing (up to 60%), which agreed with the previous researches. The aluminum 2024-T6/TiB2composites showed hybrid fracture characteristics including particle cracking and aluminum alloy softening under dynamic loading. The flow stresses predicted by Johnson-Cook model increased slowly when the reinforcement volume fraction ranged in 10%-40%. While the reinforcement volume fraction was over 40%, the flow stresses of aluminum matrix composites increased obviously and the strains dropped sharply.

Novel bio-based composite wood panels (CWPs) that consisted of distiller’s dried grains and solubles (DDGS) flour adhesive bound to a wood filler/reinforcement were subjected to high strain-rate compression loading, and their behavior was investigated. Specimens of DDGS-Paulownia wood (PW) or DDGS-pinewood (Pine) composites made using DDGS with fractions of 10%, 15%, 25%, and 50% were tested at high strain-rates using a modified compression Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB). Both DDGS-PW and DDGS-Pine composites displayed strain-rate sensitivity, and DDGS-PW had a 25% fraction, which showed the highest ultimate compressive strength of 655 MPa at approximately 1600/s. The 90%-PW had the highest specific energy of 19.24 kJ/kg at approximately 1600/s when loaded via dynamic compression. The CWPs constructed of DDGS-PW had higher strength and energy absorption than DDGS-Pine with the exception of the 50% DDGS composites.

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.

A high reinforcement content TiB2/2024Al composite with an average particle size of 8μm was fabricated by squeeze casting technology. The dynamic compression behaviors of the composite under varied strain rates were measured using split Hopkinson pressure bar, and its microstructure and fracture characteristic were examined. Resluts revealed that the composite was dense and homogenerous, and the TiB2-Al interface was clean without interfacial reactants. At high strain rate, the TiB2/Al composite showed insensitive to the strain rate, and both the flow stress and the elastic modulus improved little with an increase of the strain rate. The composite failed macroscopically in shear fracture and in split, which were caused by cracking of large reinforcement particles and interface failures under dynamic load.

The results of dynamic compression and tensile-splitting tests of concrete reinforced by randomly distributed short non – metallic fibres are presented. A Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar combined with a high-speed photographic system, was used to conduct dynamic Brazilian tests. Quasi static test show that the reinforcement of concrete by the non-metallic fibres leads to the improvement of mechanical properties at quasi static loading. This phenomenon was not observed at the high strain rate loading .Some explanation of this result is briefly outlined.

The temperature and strain rate significantly affect the ballistic performance of UHMWPE, but the deformation of UHMWPE under thermo-mechanical coupling has been rarely studied. To investigate the influences of the temperature and the strain rate on the mechanical properties of UHMWPE, a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) apparatus was used to conduct uniaxial compression experiments on UHMWPE. The stress–strain curves of UHMWPE were obtained at temperatures of 20–100 °C and strain rates of 1300–4300 s−1. Based on the experimental results, the UHMWPE belongs to viscoelastic–plastic material, and a hardening effect occurs once UHMWPE enters the plastic zone. By comparing the stress–strain curves at different temperatures and strain rates, it was found that UHMWPE exhibits strain rate strengthening and temperature softening effects. By modifying the Sherwood–Frost model, a constitutive model was established to describe the dynamic mechanical properties of UHMWPE at different temperatures. The results calculated using the constitutive model were in good agreement with the experimental data. This study provides a reference for the design of UHMWPE as a ballistic-resistant material.

Surface modification is one of the treatment methods that can be implemented to improve the strain rate sensitivity of composite materials. In this study, both untreated and treated polypropylene/muscovite layered silicate composites were tested under static and dynamic loading up to 1100 s-1 using the universal testing machine and the split Hopkinson pressure bar apparatus, respectively. Muscovite particles were treated with lithium nitrate and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as a surfactant through ion exchange treatment. Results show that the treated polypropylene/muscovite specimens with fine state of dispersion level shows better rate of sensitivity as compared to untreated polypropylene/muscovite specimens under a wide range of strain rate investigated. Apart from that, the rate of sensitivity of both tested polypropylene/muscovite layered silicate composites also show great dependency on the strain rate sensitivity was steadily increased with increasing strain rate. Unfortunately, the thermal activation values show contrary trend.

Polymeric syntactic foams refer to a class of cellular material created using preformed hollow spheres bound together with a polymeric matrix. These cellular materials possess exceptional ability to respond against high impact dynamic loads. This paper is an attempt to fabricate polymeric syntactic foams of epoxy containing hollow glass microballoon at varying loading (40 % - 60 %) and explore their potential towards blast mitigation. The tensile, compressive and flexural strength were found to be inversely proportional to the microballoon loading in the quasi-static regime. The strain rate sensitivity of the foams was confirmed by performing high strain rate studies using split hopkinson pressure bar. The flow stress of these foams was found to increase with increasing strain rates. The syntactic foams were subjected to controlled transient blast loadings using a shock tube. The samples remained intact and no strain was observed on the strain gauge, even under a blast load of ~ 90 psi, which clearly highlight their potential as core materials for blast mitigating applications.

SiC/B4C composite was obtained using the reaction sintering method with Si infiltration, which exhibited excellent mechanical properties. The dynamic compressive response was investigated using a Split Hopkinson pressure bar at high strain rates ranging from 0.4×103 to 1.2×103 s-1. The results show that the dynamic strength of the SiC/B4C composite obtains a peak value at a strain rate of 1000/s, while its strain increased continuously with increasing strain rate. The dynamic loading mode of SiC/B4C composite exhibited three deformation regions, including an inelastic deformation region, rapid loading region and failure region. The dynamic failure mode of SiC/B4C composite depended upon the strain rate.

With the demand of lightweight structure, more and more metal foams were employed as impact protection and efficient energy absorption materials in engineering fields. But, results from different impact experiments showed that the strain rate sensitivity of metal foams were different or even controversial. In order to explore the true hiding behind the controversial experimental data about the strain rate sensitivity of metal foams, numerical simulations of split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) tests of the metal foams were carried out by finite element methods. In the analysis, cell structures of metal foams were constructed by means of 3D Voronoi, and the matrix metal was assumed to be no strain rate sensitivity, which helps to learn the strain rate effects quantitatively by the foam structures. Numerical simulations showed that the deformation of the metal foam specimen is not uniform during the SHPB tests along the specimen, and the strain–stress relations of the metal foams at two ends of the specimen are different; there exists strain rate sensitivity of the metal foams even the matrix metal has no strain rate sensitivity, when the strain of the metal foams is defined by the displacement difference between the ends of the specimen; localized deformation of the metal foams and the inertia effect of matrix metal are the two main contributions to the strain rate sensitivity of the metal foams.
