Three-point bending experiments of concrete beams were conducted under the strain rate range of 10−6 s−1 and 1.5 × 10−3 s−1. A novel 3D laser scanner, Handy SCAN, was employed to detect the areas of interface, mortar and aggregate on the crack surface after the experiment. In this paper, the inhomogeneity of materials and the inertial effect were considered as the main factors in the strength enhancement of concrete together with a proposed dynamic model. With the obtained experimental results, the initial elastic modulus and tensile strength of concrete showed obvious rate sensitivity. Moreover, an empirical relationship of dynamic increase factor and strain rate was established for the strain rate range of 10−6 s−1 and 1.5 × 10−3 s−1. The contributions of aggregate and inertia effect to the dynamic enhancement of concrete strength were quantified with respect to the loading rate. The rate effect of concrete obtained by the experiments was verified by the finite element analysis on the mesoscopic scale with the model built by the three-dimensional random aggregate software.

A series of tensile tests at constant strain rate were conducted on tin-lead based solders with different Sn content under wide ranges of temperatures and strain rates. It was shown that the stress-strain relationships had strong temperature- and strain rate- dependence. The parameters of Anand model for four solders were determined. The four solders were 60Sn-40Pb, 40Sn-60Pb, 10Sn-90Pb and 5Sn-95Pb. Anand constitutive model was employed to simulate the stress-strain behaviors of the solders for the temperature range from 313K to 398K and the strain rate range from 0.001%sP -1 P to 2%sP -1 P. The results showed that Anand model can adequately predict the rate- and temperature- related constitutive behaviors at all test temperatures and strain rates.

This study investigated the deformation behavior of the Mo-10Ta alloy with a strain rate range of 102–105 s−1. The Split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) experiments were conducted to investigate the influence of deformation conditions on the stress-strain relationship and strain rate sensitivity of the material within a strain rate range of 0.001–4500 s−1. The Shaped Charge Jet (SCJ) forming experiments under detonation loading was conducted to clarify the dynamic response and microstructure evolution of the material within an ultra-high strain rates range of 104–105 s−1. Based on the stress-strain relationship of Mo-10Ta alloy at high temperature (286–873 K) and high strain rate (460–4500 s−1), the influence of temperature and strain rate on the activation energy Q was analyzed. The results indicate that the material strain rate sensitivity increased with the increase in strain rate and strain. Meanwhile, the activation energy Q decreased as the temperature and strain rate increased. The plasticity of the Mo-10Ta alloy under the condition of SCJ forming was substantially enhanced compared with that under quasi-static deformation. The material grain was also refined under ultra-high strain rate, as reflected by the reduction in grain size from 232 μm to less than 10 μm.

Unique superplastic elongations up to 4100% were achieved at 450°C in the strain rate range of 10-2-10-1s-1for Al-Mg-Sc-Zr alloy with a grain size ~1 μm processed by warm-to-hot equal channel angular pressing. Such a behavior is attributed to the synergy of complementary factors resulted in high homogeneity and stability of ultrafine-grained microstructure and superplastic flow, involving large proportion of high-angle grain boundaries, presence of dispersoids of aluminides of transition metals and negligible amount of coarse excess phases.

The main focus of this paper is in evaluating four constitutive relations which model the strain rate dependency of polymers yield stress. Namely, the two-term power-law, the Ree-Eyring, the cooperative, and the newly modified-Eyring equations are used to fit tensile and compression yield stresses of polycarbonate, which are obtained from the literature. The four equations give good agreement with the experimental data. Despite using only three material constants, the modified-Eyring equation, which considers a strain rate-dependent activation volume, gives slightly worse fit than the three other equations. The two-term power-law and the cooperative equation predict a progressive increase in the strain rate sensitivity of the yield stress. Oppositely, the Ree-Eyring and the modified-Eyring equations show a clear transition between the low and high strain rate ranges. Namely, they predict a linear dependency of the yield stress in terms of the strain rate at the low strain rate range. Crossing a threshold strain rate, the yield stress sensitivity sharply increases as the strain rate increases. Hence, two different behaviors were observed though the four equations fit well the experimental data. More experimental data, mainly at the intermediate strain rate range, are needed to conclude which, of the two behaviors, is more appropriate for polymers.

The strain rate effect on the mechanical behavior of amorphous alloys has aroused general interest. Most studies in this area have focused on quasi-static and high strain-rate compressive deformations. However, experimental results have been few, or even non-existent, under a moderate strain-rate loading. This article extends the traditional split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) technique to characterize compressive deformation of an amorphous alloy at medium strain rates. The compressive behavior of Zr65.25Cu21.75Al8Ni4Nb1 amorphous alloy shows a negative strain rate effect on the yield strength with a quasi-static, moderate to high strain-rate range, and the fracture angle increases from 44° at 10−5 s−1 to 60° at 4000 s−1 as strain rate increases. Herein, we introduce a modified cooperative shear model to describe the compressive behavior of the current amorphous alloy under a broad strain rate range. The model predicts that the normalized yield strength will linearly descend with logarithmic strain rate when the strain rate is less than a critical strain rate, however, which rapidly decreases linearly with the square of the strain rate at high strain rates. The predicted data of the model are highly consistent with the current experimental results. These findings provide support for future engineering applications of amorphous alloys.

Considering the strain rate then puts forward the modified uniaxial dynamic constitutive model related to strain rate in concrete-filled square steel tube and the modified calculation results match well with the experimental results. Based on the above conclusion, uniaxial compression performance finite element analysis with different strain rate among 10-5/s–10-3/s is completed, the results showed that strain rate can obviously change the dynamic performance of the concrete-filled square steel tube. Through the analysis of the influencing factors of the core concrete compressive strength, it is showed that with the increasing of the strain rate and the improving of concrete strength, the ultimate bearing capacity of concrete-filled square steel tube is higher and the ductility is reduced. With the increasing of stirrup ratio, ultimate bearing capacity is greater and the ductility is enhanced. With the sectional dimensions increasing, the ultimate bearing capacity is greater and the ductility is enhanced.
