This work compares the pure copper (T2 copper)’s stress-strain relationship at different strain rates in the uni-axial tension test and Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) test. Small samples were utilized in the high strain rate SHPB test in which the accuracy was modified by numerical simulation. The experimental results showed that the T2 copper’s yield strength at high strain rates largely outweighed the quasi static yield strength. The flow stress in the stress-strain curves at different strain rates appeared to be divergent and increased with the increase in strain rates, showing great strain strengthening and strain rate hardening effects. Metallographic observation showed that the microstructure of T2 copper changed from equiaxed grains to twins and the interaction between the dislocation slip zone grain boundary and twins promoted the super plasticity distortion in T2 copper.

As a result of high temperature changing rates in the heat affected zone (HAZ) the elevated strain rates during welding may have a high influence of the yield stresses. Higher yield stresses as a result of high strain rates can be observed in hot tensile tests for several materials. A model has been developed and integrated in a multi-purpose FEA-program (ANSYS®) to investigate strain rate effects in numerical welding simulation. The routine calculates the current yield stress as a function of the local strain rates. The influence of the resulting stresses and distortions has been analyzed in comparative numerical welding simulations.

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.

The dynamic stress–strain characteristics of magnesium alloys have not been sufficiently studied experimentally. Thus, the present work investigated compressive dynamic stress–strain characteristics of two representative magnesium alloys: AZ91D and AZ31B at high strain rates and elevated temperatures. In order to use the stress–strain characteristics in numerical simulations to predict the impact response of components, the stress–strain characteristics must be modeled. The most common approach is to use accepted constitutive laws. The results from the experimental study of the response of magnesium alloys AZ91D and AZ31B under dynamic compressive loading, at different strain rates and elevated temperatures are presented here. Johnson–Cook model was used to best fit the experimental data. The material parameters required by the model were obtained and the resultant stress–strain curves of the two alloys for each testing condition were plotted. It is found that the dynamic stress–strain relationship of both magnesium alloys are strain rate and temperature dependent and can be described reasonably well at high strain rates and room temperature by Johnson–Cook model except at very low strains. This might be due to the fact that the strain rate is not strictly constant in the early stage of deformation.

The tensile behaviors of 3-D woven fabric under high strain-rate states, i.e. tensile impact behaviors, are important for the design of the fabrics and the reinforced composites under impulsive loading. This paper reports the testing and the numerical simulation of the impact tension behaviors of 3-D woven fabric under high strain rates compared with those under quasi-static tension. The tensile behaviors of 3-D orthogonal woven fabric (3DOWF) were investigated using a MTS 810.23 material testing system and a self-designed split Hopkinson tension bar apparatus, under a wide range of strain rates (0.003–2308/s). The tensile stress–strain curves obtained from the quasi-static and high strain rates were used to analyze the rate-sensitivity of 3DOWF tensile behaviors. It was found that both the tensile strength and the failure strain increased with increases in the strain rate. The two-phase tensile stiffness phenomenon of 3DOWF under high strain rates has been observed experimentally. A microstructure model combined with finite element analysis was established to explain the tensile failure mechanisms of 3DOWF under high strain rates. It was found that the fabric architecture influences the stress wave propagation, thus leading to the two-phase tensile stiffness phenomenon in the stress–strain curve under high strain-rate tensions.

This paper presents an experimental study of the mechanical properties of brass at high strain rates. The brass tested is the copperzinc alpha-beta and beta two-phase alloy in the cold-worked state. Experiments were conducted using an extended tension split Hopkinson bar apparatus. It is found that, at lower strain rates, the stress-strain curve is smooth, exhibiting no well-defined yield stress, but at higher strain rates the stress-strain curve not only shows a well-defined yield stress but also displays a very pronounced drop in stress at yield. The flow stress is found to increase with increasing strain rate, but the increase is more significant for the yield stress than for the flow stress, showing that the yield stress is more sensitive to the strain rate than the flow stress away from the yield point. Based on the experimental results, empirical strain-rate-dependent constitutive equations are recommended. The suggested constitutive equations provide a reasonable estimate of the strain-rate-sensitive behaviour of materials.

This paper reviews experimental as well as computational techniques for determining stress-strain characteristics of materials at high strain rates. Quasi-static and dynamic compression tests were performed on standard Lead (Pb) specimens of three different L/D ratios, 0.8, 2 and 3. A Drop tower system was used to achieve different strain rates along with high-speed camera to capture the vertical and radial deformation of specimen and accelerometers to capture load data. The results obtained from the experiments were processed to generate dynamic stress-strain curve for Lead under different strain rate conditions. It was observed that the dynamic stress increases with increasing strain rate. The information gained is valuable for validating constitutive models.

The influence of high strain-rate loading on the flexural response of typical light-frame wood construction has been investigated. A total of 30 stud grade 38 mm × 140 mm × 2440 mm (2″ × 6″ × 8′) spruce–pine–fir (S–P–F) lumber specimens were tested within a range of low and high strain-rates between 6 × 10−6 s−1 and 0.4 s−1. A single-degree-of-freedom iterative solution procedure was used to compute the high strain-rate modulus of rupture (MOR) and modulus of elasticity (MOE). The MOR was statistically enhanced by high strain-rates, while the MOE and strain at rupture were not. Since equilibrium of the dynamic stress–strain relationship requires that one or both of the MOE and strain at rupture must be sensitive to strain-rate effects, the lack of observed rate enhancement on these material properties was attributed to large scatter within a small sample set. Based on the results, material dynamic increase factors and a stress–strain relationship suitable for blast resistant design of timber structures were also proposed.

The current research concentrates on the characterization of the mechanical behavior of Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-6Mo alloy. The material was studied in compression using the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) equipment at high strain rates and conventional servohydraulic materials testing devices at low strain rates. The tests were performed at temperatures ranging from room temperature up to 600 °C. According to the results of the compression tests, the strain hardening rate of the studied material decreases strongly with increasing strain rate. The observed strong decrease in the strain hardening rate with increasing strain rate is a consequence of the extremely strong adiabatic heating of the material due to its high strength and low thermal conductivity. In this study, the Johnson-Cook material model parameters were obtained from isothermal stress-strain curves that were calculated from the experimental (adiabatic) stress-strain data. In this paper, the results of the mechanical testing at high strain rates and the numerical modeling of the material behavior are presented and discussed in details.
