Although highly desirable, the experimental technology of the dynamic mechanical properties of materials under multiaxial impact loading is rarely explored. In this study, a true-biaxial split Hopkinson pressure bar device is developed to achieve the biaxial synchronous impact loading of a specimen. A symmetrical wedge-shaped, dual-wave bar is designed to decompose a single stress wave into two independent and symmetric stress waves that eventually form an orthogonal system and load the specimen synchronously. Furthermore, a combination of ground gaskets and lubricant is employed to eliminate the shear stress wave and separate the coupling of the shear and axial stress waves propagating in bars. Some confirmatory and applied tests are carried out, and the results show not only the feasibility of this modified device but also the dynamic mechanical characteristics of specimens under biaxial impact loading. This novel technique is readily implementable and also has good application potential in material mechanics testing.

Dynamic mechanical behavior of geomaterials has been widely observed in tunneling, oil and gas extraction, and blasting in civil and mining applications. It is important to understand how much energy is necessary to break or fail geomaterials to optimize the design of blasting patterns, oil and gas extractions, demolition, military defense, etc. However, there is little understanding for quantifying the required energy to break geomaterials under dynamic loading. More importantly, as typical geomaterials tend to hydrate, it is necessary to understand how much energy will be needed to break the structures under water saturation. Thus, in this study, we analyzed the consumed energy used to deform geomaterials using a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB), enabling to measure stress and strain responses of geomaterials under dynamic loading condition of high strain rate (102–104/sec). Two different saturation levels (dry vs. fully saturation) in two sandstone samples having different pore sizes were tested under dynamic loading conditions. Our results demonstrate that dynamic mechanical strength (maximum stress) is greater in the dry geomaterials when compared with the saturated samples, and Young’s modulus (or maximum strain) can be a useful parameter to examine porosity effects between dry and saturated geomaterials on dynamic mechanical properties.

In order to study dynamic mechanical properties of float glass under blast and ballistic/fragmentation impacts, the curves of stress- strain are obtained in higher ranges by using the modified Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) techniques. Experimental results indicate that float glass is nonlinear elastic-brittle materials, and its dynamic curves of stress-strain are nonlinear and can be divided into three stages: elastic, nonlinear strengthening and stress drop. The dynamic Young’s modulus and the dynamic compressive strength of float glass increase with the increasing of strain rate. Finally, an explanation was given according to principle of energy equilibrium of Griffith.

Piezoelectric polymers have been used to form the basis of dynamic strain gauges for the detection of stress waves. The linearity of response was tested using a split Hopkinson pressure bar arrangement. The results obtained illustrate the effectiveness of piezoelectric film strain gauges in the measurement of axial stress waves.

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.

To reveal the influences of soil particle size on the dynamic impact mechanical properties of frozen soil, four groups of frozen soil specimens composed of different particle sizes are tested using a split-Hopkinson pressure bar. Based on the Druger–Prager failure criterion and coupled damage-plasticity, a dynamic micro-constitutive model is established for describing the dynamic mechanical behavior of the frozen soil. Macroscopically, frozen soil is assumed to be homogeneous and continuous, although a large number of micro-cracks and micro-voids are distributed randomly throughout the volume. When a frozen soil specimen is subjected to a substantial shock, the propagation of micro-cracks and the collapse of micro-voids can induce damage. The evolution equations of the two damage mechanisms are proposed. Finally, through a comparison, it was shown that simulation results agreed well with the experimental results, thus validating the suitability of the developed model.

t is one of precondition of determining rock material dynamic parameters for one-dimension assumption of the elastic pressure bar. In order to analyze its effect by loading wave type, the dynamic stress was simulated with Ls-dynamic finite element software, when SHPB(Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar) pressure bar with diameter of 50 mm, 75 mm and 100 mm were impacted respectively by a cycle rectangular loading wave and half sine loading wave. The stress waves of cross section in different diameter pressure bar and the different distance with pressure bar end were compared and analyzed. The results indicated that the dispersion of stress waves was very serious and the matching ability of stress wave at different distances in pressure bar was poor when the rectangular wave was loaded. However, the dispersion of stress wave was not obvious with the increase of the diameter of pressure bar and the change of pressure bar when the half sine wave was loaded. The half sine loading wave which can strictly meet the one-dimension assumption is one of the ideal loading waveforms of the rocky heterogeneous materials.
