The effect of using a pulse shaper technique, such as rounding a striker or applying a pulse shaper on the signals recorded with the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) technique, when the striker and the input bar are in an imperfect position, was investigated. Two of the most common cases have been analyzed: an offset of the symmetry axes of the striker and the input bar; and an inclination angle between the striker and the input bar. LS-Dyna software was used to examine this problem numerically. The inclination angle imperfection has a significant impact on signal disturbances, whereas the use of a rounded striker significantly affects the limitation of the vibration flexural modes. In all considered cases, a slight imperfection causes a reduction in the high-frequency Pochhammer–Chree oscillations.

The paper aims at the numerical simulation of the wave propagation in compressive Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) experiment. The paper deals with principles of SHPB measurement, optimisation of a numerical model and techniques of pulse shaping. The parametric model of the typical SHPB configuration developed for LS-DYNA environment is introduced and optimised (in terms of element size and distribution) using the sensitivity study. Then, a parametric analysis of a geometric properties of the pulse shaper is carried out to reveal their influence on a shape of the incident pulse. The analysis is algorithmized including the pre- and post-processing routines to enable automated processing of numerical results and comparison with the experimental data. Results of the parametric analysis and the influence of geometric properties of the pulse shaper (diameter, length) on the incident wave are demonstrated.

Elastic wave propagation in the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) is discussed with an emphasis on the origin and nature of the oscillations that often trail the leading edge of the pressure wave. We show that in the conditions of the SHPB test the pressure bars vibrate in the fundamental mode and that elastic wave propagation can be fully described mathematically. Excellent agreement is found between experimental results and predictions of the mathematical treatment. This suggests that dispersion effects in the pressure bars can be removed from the strain gage records, which reduces the magnitude of the oscillations in the resulting stress strain curve.

Studies of the properties of materials at high strain rates by the split Hopkinson pressure bar suggest that most materials show a sharp increase in strain rate sensitivity at high rates. In this paper, analytical and numerical evidence is presented which shows that his apparent increase in the strain rate sensitivity reported in the literature may result from stress wave propagation effects present in the test. A one-dimensional analytical solution has been developed for a rate independent bi-linear material tested in a split Hopkinson pressure bar apparatus. The solution, which is based on a stress wave reverberation model, shows that there is an apparent increase in the strain rate sensitivity of the material which can only be explained in terms of large propagating plastic wave fronts in the specimen. Numerical modelling of the same test geometry for the same input material model is in excellent agreement showing conclusively that stress wave propagation effects are inevitable at high impact velocities. The assumption of uniform stress and strain distribution within a split Hopkinson pressure bar specimen is therefore incorrect at high impact velocities. The formulation of the novel numerical code used in the present work, which is based on the finite volume technique, is also presented.

Stress Uniformity

The assumption of uniform stress in a test specimen is fundamental to SHPB test technique. In the present paper, a numerical simulation of wave propagation in SHPB is performed to validate the assumption. A one-dimensional model based on CSPM is firstly developed. Then the wave propagations in SHPB with various area ratios of bar/specimen are simulated. The results show that the condition of stress uniformity is not satisfied, especially at the beginning of wave propagation. For the large area specimen, the stress tends to be uniform. While for the small area specimen, the non-uniformity of stress is more apparent.
