In deep rock engineering, the rock mass can be subjected to thermal stress caused by sudden changes in temperature, which is referred to as thermal shock (TS). To study the effect of TS on heated sandstone, three cooling methods are used to provide different cooling rates. Then the coupled dynamic and static loading tests are carried out on the heated sandstone by means of a modified split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) system. The test results show that as the heating level increases, the dry density, P-wave velocity, and the dynamic combined strength of the heated sandstone decrease, while specimen porosity increases. Particularly, a sharp change in the physical properties of sandstone can be observed at 650 °C, which is believed to be caused by the α-β transition of quartz at 573 °C. At each heating level of the test, the damage caused by the higher cooling rate to the heated sandstone is more than that caused by the lower cooling rate. The different failure modes of sandstone with increasing temperature are analyzed. The mechanism of TS acting on heated sandstone is discussed, and two typical fracture patterns reflecting the action of TS are identified through SEM.

Thermal shock (TS) is known as the process where fractures are generated when rocks go through sudden temperature changes. In the field of deep rock engineering, the rock mass can be subjected to the TS process in various circumstances. To study the influence of TS on the mechanical behaviors of rock, sandstone specimens are heated at different high temperatures and three cooling methods (stove cooling, air cooling, and freezer cooling) are adopted to provide different cooling rates. The coupled dynamic and static loading tests are performed on the heated sandstone through a modified split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) system. The influence of heating level and cooling rate on the dynamic compressive strength, energy dissipations, and fracturing characteristics is investigated based on the experimental data. The development of the microcracks of the sandstone specimens after the experiment is analyzed utilizing a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The extent of the development of the microcracks serves to explain the variation pattern of the mechanical responses and energy dissipations of the specimens obtained from the loading test. The findings of this study are valuable for practices in rock engineering involving high temperature and fast cooling.

RMT-150B rock mechanics and split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) devices were adopted to investigate the physical and mechanical properties, energy dissipation, and failure modes of argillaceous sandstone after different high temperatures under air-dried and saturation states. In addition, SEM and EDS tests were conducted to investigate its microstructure characteristics. Results showed that both the P-wave velocity and density of argillaceous sandstone specimen decreased with the increase of high temperature, while its porosity increased. Compared with static stress-strain curves, there was no obvious compaction stage for dynamic stress-strain curves, and the decrease rate of dynamic curves after peak strain was obviously slow compared with static curves. Both the static and dynamic strengths of argillaceous sandstone specimens decreased with increasing temperature, and the critical temperature point for the strength of argillaceous sandstone was 400°C. At the same temperature, the specific energy absorption under air-dried state was generally smaller compared with that under saturated state. Both the strain rate and temperature showed significant effect on the failure mode. After 100∼1000°C heat treatment, the granular crystals of the clastic structure gradually became larger, and both the number and average size of the original pores decreased, resulting in the deterioration of mechanical properties of argillaceous sandstone specimen.

Simulation of fracture initiation, propagation, and arrest is a problem of interest for many applications in the scientific community. There are a number of numerical methods used for this purpose, and among the most widely accepted is the combined finite-discrete element method (FDEM). To model fracture with FDEM, material behavior is described by specifying a combination of elastic properties, strengths (in the normal and tangential directions), and energy dissipated in failure modes I and II, which are modeled by incorporating a parameterized softening curve defining a post-peak stress-displacement relationship unique to each material. In this work, we implement a data assimilation method to estimate key model parameter values with the objective of improving the calibration processes for FDEM fracture simulations. Specifically, we implement the ensemble Kalman filter assimilation method to the Hybrid Optimization Software Suite (HOSS), a FDEM-based code which was developed for the simulation of fracture and fragmentation behavior. We present a set of assimilation experiments to match the numerical results obtained for a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) model with experimental observations for granite. We achieved this by calibrating a subset of model parameters. The results show a steady convergence of the assimilated parameter values towards observed time/stress curves from the SHPB observations. In particular, both tensile and shear strengths seem to be converging faster than the other parameters considered.

The dynamic failure characteristics of coal rock exposed to high temperatures were studied by using a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) system. The relationship between energy and time history under different temperature conditions was obtained. The energy evolution and the failure modes of specimens were analyzed. Results are as follows: during the test, more than 60% of the incident energy was not involved in the breaking of the sample, while it was reflected back. With the increase of temperature, the reflected energy increased continuously; transmitted and absorbed energy showed an opposite variation. At the temperature of 25 to 100°C, the absorbed energy was less than that transmitted, while this phenomenon was opposite after 100°C. The values of specific energy absorption (SEA) were distributed at 0.04 to 0.1 J·cm−3, and its evolution with temperature could be divided into four different stages. Under different temperature conditions, the failure modes and the broken blocks of the samples were obviously different, combining with the variation of microstructure characteristics of coal at high temperatures; the physical mechanism of damage and failure patterns of coal rock are explained from the viewpoint of energy.

Additive manufacturing by Selective Laser Melting of metals is attracting substantial attention, due to its advantages, such as short-time production of customized structures. This technique is useful for building complex components using a metallic pre-alloyed powder. One of the most used materials in AMSLM is AlSi10Mg powder. Additively manufactured AlSi10Mg may be used as a structural material and it static mechanical properties were widely investigated. Properties in the strain rates of 5×102–1.6×103 s-1 and at higher strain rates of 5×103 –105 s-1 have been also reported. The aim of this study is investigation of dynamic properties in the 7×102–8×103 s-1 strain rate range, using the split Hopkinson pressure bar technique. It was found that the dynamic properties at strain-rates of 1×103–3×103 s-1 depend on a build direction and affected by heat treatment. At higher and lower strain-rates the effect of build direction is limited. The anisotropic nature of the material was determined by the ellipticity of samples after the SHPB test. No strain rate sensitivity was observed.

The combined experimental and theoretical approach was applied to the study of high-speed deformation and fracture of the 1810 stainless steel. The material tests were performed using a split Hopkinson pressure bar to determine dynamic stress-strain curves, strain rate histories, plastic properties and fracture in the strain rate range of 102 ÷ 104 s-1. A scheme has been realized for obtaining a direct tensile load in the SHPB, using a tubular striker and a gas gun of a simple design. The parameters of the Johnson-Cook material model were identified using the experimental results obtained. Using a series of verification experiments under various types of stress-strain state, the degree of reliability of the identified mathematical model of the behavior of the material studied was determined.

This work evaluates the mechanical and dynamic behavior of recycled polycarbonate (rPC) from industrial waste. This study aims to verify whether the recycled process adopted for polycarbonate promotes both mechanical and dynamic properties values under compressive stress, similar to those found for virgin polycarbonate. The mechanical recycling of the rPC was carried out using the thermoforming technique in a thermal press. Two tests were carried out to evaluate the dynamic response of rPC. The quasi-static compression test was performed on a universal machine. The dynamic in a split Hopkinson pressure bar was performed with three different strain rates. The results showed that the mechanical and primary recycling adopted in this work promoted values of yield stress in compression (77 MPa) and dynamic (up to 118 MPa), close to or superior to those reported so far in the literature.

The dynamic compressive behavior of Al2O3 (10% vol.) / TiB2 ceramic composite had been tested by using a split Hopkinson pressure bar in this paper. The results show that the main failure modes of the ceramic composite include crushed failure and split fracture along the loading direction. The former is the typical compressive failure of brittle materials. The later is tensile failure along the flaws produced during the composite manufacturing. The numerical simulation was also used to study the effect of the diameter/length ratio of the samples on the experimental results. The effect of the deformation in the bars’ ends, which contacted with the samples, was also studied in the numerical models.

The titanium alloy (grade 5) is a two-phase material, which finds significant applications in aerospace, medical, marine fields, owing to its superior characteristics like high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance, and good formability. Hence, the dynamic characteristics of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy are an important area to study. A compressive split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) was used to evaluate the dynamic properties of Ti-6Al-4V alloy under various strain rates between 997 and 1898s−1, and at temperatures between −10 °C and 320 °C. It was evident that the material strength is sensitive to both strain rate and temperature; however, the latter is more predominant than the former. The microstructure of the deformed samples was examined using electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD). The microscopic observations show that the dynamic impact characteristics of the alloy are higher at higher strain rates than at quasi-static strain rates. The SHPB tests show that the force on the transmitter bar is lower than the force on the incident bar. This indicates that the dynamic equilibrium cannot be achieved during high rate of damage evolution. Various constants in Johnson–Cook (JC) model were evaluated to validate the results. An uncertainty analysis for the experimental results has also been presented.
