The strain rate sensitivity of neoprene is characterized using a modified split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) system at intermediate (50 s-1, 100 s-1) and high (500 s-1, 1000 s-1) strain rates. We used two quartz piezoelectric force transducers that were sandwiched between the specimen and experimental bars respectively to directly measure the weak wave signals. A laser gap gage was employed to monitor the deformation of the sample directly. Three kinds of neoprene rubbers (Shore hardness: SHA60, SHA65, and SHA70) were tested using the modified split Hopkinson pressure bar. Experimental results show that the modified apparatus is effective and reliable for determining the compressive stress-strain responses of neoprene at intermediate and high strain rates.

This study investigated strain-rate sensitivity (SRS) in an as-extruded AZ31 magnesium (Mg) alloy with grain size of about 10 mm. Although the alloy shows negligible SRS at strain rates of >10-5 s-1 at room temperature, the exponent increased by one order from 0.008 to 0.06 with decrease of the strain rate down to 10-8 s-1. The activation volume (V) was evaluated as approximately 100b3 at high strain rates and as about 15b3 at low strain rates (where b is the Burgers vector). In addition, deformation twin was observed only at high strain rates. Because the twin nucleates at the grain boundary, stress concentration is necessary to be accommodated by dislocation absorption into the grain boundary at low strain rates. Extrinsic grain boundary dislocations move and engender grain boundary sliding (GBS) with low thermal assistance. Therefore, GBS enhances and engenders SRS in AZ31 Mg alloy at room temperature.

An investigation into the mechanical behaviour of iron and nickel at high strain rates is carried out, using a split Hopkinson bar method. Some special adaptations, a correction method for the effects arising from the adiabatic conditions of dynamic deformation and a simplified data processing procedure are described in detail. The test conditions covered a range of strain rates between 500 and about 10 000/s and temperatures from 20 to 500°C. For both metals, the results are presented by means of a family of true stress-true strain curves. The strong strain rate sensitivity at high strain rates indicates that the rate controlling mechanism differs from that operative at ‘static’ strain rates.

The freely expanding ring test (ERT) is a conceptually simple test for determining the stress-strain behavior of materials at large strains and at high strain rates. This test is conducted by placing a thin ring of test material in a state of uniform radial expansion and then measuring its subsequent velocity-time history. The ring is usually propelled by a high explosive driving system. The test has not become popular in the materials property community, however, because there has been some concern about how the launching of the ring sample with an explosively generated shock wave might affect the properties to be measured. To determine the suitability of the ERT for these fundamental investigations, a series of experiments was performed on a carefully controlled material—oxygen-free electronic fully annealed copper. Recovered ring samples were analyzed and the change in hardness determined. Comparisons of the ERT data with that from Hopkinson bar tests at strain rates of about 5 × 103 s−1 indicate that the shock-induced hardness is approximately equivalent to a strain hardening of 5 percent. ERT data on this material at strain rates up to 2.3 × 104 s−1 are presented.
