Strain Rate Compression

This paper reports the compression behavior of epoxy composites with various carbon nanotubes (CNTs) contents, under quasi-static and high strain rate compression. The compression behaviours of epoxy composites with various CNTs contents under quasi-static and high strain rate compression were compared and analyzed in the frequency domain using the fast Fourier transform (FFT) method. The results show that the compression behavior, amplitude spectrum and phase spectrum of the epoxy/CNTs composite are strain rate sensitive. The epoxy/CNTs composites can absorb higher energy in a specific frequency range.

Strain Rate Compression

The high strain rate compression behavior of extruded Mg-Gd-Y magnesium alloy was tested by split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) under the strain rates of 465s-1，2140s-1and 3767s-1. As comparison the quasi-static compression behavior was tested in the meanwhile. The results show that the quasi-static yield stress is equivalent to that of high strain rates, but the flow stress at high strain rates are higher than that of quasi-static stain rate at the same strain. When the strain rate is increase from quasi-static to high strain rates the deformation stresses increase obviously but within the present testing high strain rates, increasing the strain rate the stress has a slight increasing, indicating that at high strain rate the stress of Mg-Gd-Y magnesium alloy is not sensitive to the strain rate. The constitutive equation between deformation stress, strain and strain rate was build based on the tested compression stress strain curves. The calculated stress strain data were compared with tested stress strain curves. The results demonstrate that when the strain rates are 0.001s-1，465s-1，2140s-1respectively the calculated and experimental data are fit very well. The calculated stress is higher than that of tested stress if the strain rate is increase to 3767s-1and the strain is more than 0.15. The discrepancy was explained through the physical soundness of Johnson-Cook model.

Strain Rate Compression

A study was undertaken on the compressive high strain rate properties and deformation behaviour of Direct Metal Laser-Sintered (DMLS) Ti6Al4V (ELI) parts in two separate forms: as-built (AB) and stress relieved (SR). The high strain rate compression tests were carried out using a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar test system at ambient temperature. The average plastic strain rates attained by the system were 400 s−1 and 700 s−1. Comparative analyses of the performance (flow stresses and fracture strains) of AB and SR specimens were carried out based on the results obtained at these two plastic strain rates. Microstructural analyses were performed to study the failure mechanisms of the deformed specimens and fracture surfaces. Vickers microhardness test values were obtained before and after high strain rate compression testing. The results obtained in both cases showed the strain rate sensitivity of the stress-relieved samples to be higher in comparison to those of as-built ones, at the same value of true strain.

Strain Rate Compression

In automobile accidents, abdominal injuries are often life-threatening yet not apparent at the time of initial injury. The liver is the most commonly injured abdominal organ from this type of trauma. In contrast to current safety tests involving crash dummies, a more detailed, efficient approach to predict the risk of human injuries is computational modelling and simulations. Further, the development of accurate computational human models requires knowledge of the mechanical properties of tissues in various stress states, especially in high-impact scenarios. In this study, a polymeric split-Hopkinson pressure bar (PSHPB) was utilized to apply various high strain rates to porcine liver tissue to investigate its material behavior during high strain rate compression. Liver tissues were subjected to high strain rate impacts at 350, 550, 1000, and 1550 s−1. Tissue directional dependency was also explored by PSHPB testing along three orthogonal directions of liver at a strain rate of 350 s−1. Histology of samples from each of the three directions was performed to examine the structural properties of porcine liver. Porcine liver tissue showed an inelastic and strain rate-sensitive response at high strain rates. The liver tissue was found lacking directional dependency, which could be explained by the isotropic microstructure observed after staining and imaging. Furthermore, finite element analysis (FEA) of the PSHPB tests revealed the stress profile inside liver tissue and served as a validation of PSHPB methodology. The present findings can assist in the development of more accurate computational models of liver tissue at high-rate impact conditions allowing for understanding of subfailure and failure mechanisms.
