In this paper, we have studied the dynamic compression performance of the RSW of QP980 steel and TRIP800 steel by using a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB), and we have also examined the fracture mode of the two research objects. It is found that the spot welding zone is primarily composed of the martensite structure, and there is a sparse defect of crystal structure adjacent to the center of nugget. In addition, there are evident gaps between the plates on both sides of the spot welding zone. Through the measurement of the microhardness of the two grade steel, it is found that the average hardness of the RSW of QP980 steel is higher than that of TRIP800 steel. There is a softening region in the interface of the heat affected zone and the substrate zone. The dynamic compression experiments are carried out on the RSW of QP980 steel and TRIP800 steel under 200°C and 300°C conditions, and it is found that the strain rate would increase with the rising temperature, but the compressive strength would experience declines. Furthermore, the sparse defects of crystal structure adjacent to the center of nugget would lead to stress rebound when the specimen is compressed. Moreover, through the observation of the fracture surface of the recovered specimens, it is found that the fracture of the nugget is brittle, whereas the fracture mode of the sample is more complicated. In addition, the fracture surface features a number of “river pattern” cleavage facets, and there are very few dimples of ductile tearing. This study is expected to have huge implications to the safety of vehicle body under high-speed impact.

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.

Dynamic compression experiments are performed on single-crystal Si under split Hopkinson pressure bar loading, together with simultaneous high-speed (250–350 ns resolution) synchrotron X-ray Laue diffraction and phase-contrast imaging. A methodology is presented which determines crystal rotation parameters,i.e.instantaneous rotation axes and angles, from two unindexed Laue diffraction spots. Two-dimensional translation is obtained from dynamic imaging by a single camera. High-speed motion of crystals, including translation and rotation, can be tracked in real timeviasimultaneous imaging and diffraction.

Polymer matrix composites (PMC), despite their many advantages, have limited use at elevated temperatures. To expand the scope of their uses, it becomes necessary to use thermal barrier coatings (TBC). In addition to elevated temperatures, composite structures, and thus TBC barriers, can be exposed to damage from impacts of foreign objects. Therefore, before using the thermal barrier in practice, knowledge about its behavior under high-speed loads is necessary. The paper presents results for samples with the PMC/TBC system subjected to dynamic compression using a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB). The substrate was made of CFRP (carbon reinforced polymer) with epoxy matrix and twill fabric. TBC was made of ceramic mat saturated by commercial hardener from Vitcas company. The tests were carried out at ambient temperature and elevated temperature—55 °C and 90 °C. Tests at ambient temperature were carried out for three pressure levels: 1, 1.5, and 2 bar. Only the pressure of 1 bar was used for the elevated temperature. Studies have shown that the limit load is 1 bar for ambient temperature. At 1.5 bar, cracks occurred in the TBC structure. Increased temperature also adversely affects the TBC barrier strength and it is damaged at a pressure of 1 bar.

Coefficients and constants of a microstructure-based internal state variable (ISV) plasticity damage model for pure copper have been calibrated and used for damage modeling and simulation. Experimental stress-strain curves obtained from Cu samples at different strain rate and temperature levels provide a benchmark for the calibration work. Instron quasi-static tester and split-Hopkinson pressure bar are used to obtain low-to-high strain rates. Calibration process and techniques are described in this paper. The calibrated material model is used for high-speed impact analysis to predict the impact properties of Cu. In the numerical impact scenario, a 100 mm by 100 mm Cu plate with a thickness of 10 mm will be penetrated by a 50 mm-long Ni rod with a diameter of 10mm. The thickness of 10 mm was selected for the Cu plate so that the Ni-Cu penetration through the thickness can be well observed through the simulations and the effects of the ductility of Cu on its plasticity deformation during the penetration can be displayed. Also, that thickness had been used by some researchers when investigating penetration mechanics of other materials. Therefore the penetration resistance of Cu can be compared to that of other metallic materials based on the simulation results obtained from this study. Through this study, the efficiency of this ISV model in simulating high-speed impact process is verified. Functions and roles of each of material constant in that model are also demonstrated.

This study derived the five parameters in Johnson-Cook equation of CP titanium Gr2. Quasi-static and dynamic compression tests were designed to measure mechanical properties at strain rates of 10-3s-1 and 6000s-1. In order to secure the validity of tested data, a novel fixture was proposed to reduce the displacement measurement error in MTS testing system and the signal processing procedure of compressive split Hopkinson pressure bar for the present study was demonstrated. With the tested data and calculated adiabatic heating temperature rise, parameters A, B, n, m, C have been derived based on mathematical deduction and solve. It was found that the constructed constitutive model fit the tested data well and was able to restore the yield strength value at high strain rate.

Beside strain intensity, stress triaxiality (pressure-stress states) is the most important factor to control initiation of ductile fracture in chip segmentation through affecting the loading capacity and strain to failure. The effect of stress triaxiality on failure strain is usually assessed by dynamic Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) or quasi-static tests of tension, compression, torsion, and shear. However, the stress triaxialities produced by these tests are considerably different from those in high speed machining of titanium alloys where adiabatic shear bands (ASB) are associated with much higher strains, stresses and temperatures. This aspect of shear localization and fracture are poorly understood in previous research. This paper aims to demonstrate the role of stress triaxiality in chip segmentation during machining titanium alloy using finite element method. This research promotes a fundamental understanding of thermo-mechanics of the high-speed machining process, and provides a logical insight into the fracture mechanism in discontinuous chips.

The combined experimental and theoretical approach was applied to the study of high-speed deformation and fracture of the 1810 stainless steel. The material tests were performed using a split Hopkinson pressure bar to determine dynamic stress-strain curves, strain rate histories, plastic properties and fracture in the strain rate range of 102 ÷ 104 s-1. A scheme has been realized for obtaining a direct tensile load in the SHPB, using a tubular striker and a gas gun of a simple design. The parameters of the Johnson-Cook material model were identified using the experimental results obtained. Using a series of verification experiments under various types of stress-strain state, the degree of reliability of the identified mathematical model of the behavior of the material studied was determined.

Recently, engineering blasting is widely applied in projects such as rock mineral mining, construction of underground cavities and field-leveling excavation. Dynamic mechanical performance of rocks has been gradually attached importance both in China and abroad. Concrete and rock are two kinds of the most frequently used engineering materials and also frequently used as experimental objects currently. To compare dynamic mechanical performance of these two materials, this study performed dynamic compression test with five different strain rates on concrete and rock using Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) to obtain basic dynamic mechanical parameters of them and then summarized the relationship of dynamic compressive strength, peak strain and strain rate of two materials. Moreover, specific energy absorption is introduced to confirm dynamic damage mechanisms of concrete and rock materials. This work can not only help to improve working efficiency to the largest extent but also ensure the smooth development of engineering, providing rich theoretical guidance for development of related engineering in the future.

Variation in the heating rate due to different geothermal gradients is a cause of much concern in underground rock engineering such as deep sea and underground tunnels, nuclear waste disposal, and deep mining. By using a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) and variable-speed heating furnace, the dynamic compressive properties of granite were obtained after treatments at different heating rates and temperatures; these properties mainly included the dynamic compressive strength, peak strain, and dynamic elastic modulus. The mechanism of heating rate action on the granite was simultaneously analyzed, and the macroscopic physical properties were discussed. The microscopic morphological features were obtained by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the crack propagation was determined by high-speed video camera. The experimental results show that the dynamic compressive strength and elastic modulus both show an obvious trend of a decrease with the increasing heating rate and temperature; the opposite phenomenon is observed for the peak strain. The relationships among the dynamic compressive properties and temperature could be described by the quadratic function. The ductility of granite is enhanced, and the number and size of cracks increase gradually when the heating rate and temperature increase. The microstructure of rock is weakened by the increased thermal stress, which finally affects the dynamic compressive properties of rock.
