The effects of tungsten contents (80-88wt.%) and different Ni:Cu ratio (7:3-3:7 by weight) on microstructure and dynamic mechanical properties of W-Ni-Cu alloys were investigated. Results show that at the same sintering conditions, with tungsten content increasing from 80 wt % to 88 wt %, tungsten grains increase slightly. Spherical and more uniform tungsten grains distribute in matrix phase in 85W alloys with Ni:Cu ratio of 1:1 than that of 3:7 and 7:3. The results also show that the dynamic yield strength of W-Ni-Cu alloys goes up with tungsten content increasing, but keep similar deformation capability. With strain rate increasing in the range of 2600-4200s-1, 85W displays strain rate softening effect. Adiabatic shear bands are formed at strain rate over 3200s-1.

In this study, the titanium matrix composites (TiMCs) were fabricated by adding graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs). The dynamic compression test was carried out to study the effect of strain-rate and the GNPs content on dynamic mechanical properties of GNPs/Ti. Results show that the GNPs content (0wt%~0.8wt%) correspond to specific microstructure which affect the dynamic mechanical properties of the composites. Under high strain-rate (3500s-1), the 0.4wt%GNPs/Ti has the highest dynamic stress (~1860MPa) and strain (~30%). The adiabatic shearing band (ASB) microstructure of GNPs/Ti with various GNPs content has been observed under 3500s-1 strain-rate and the ASB microstructure evolution of 0.4wt%GNPs/Ti under different strain rate was investigated in particular.

The dynamic mechanical properties and microstructure of the (Al0.5CoCrFeNi)0.95Mo0.025C0.025 high entropy alloy (HEA) prepared by powder extrusion were investigated by a split Hopkinson pressure bar and electron probe microanalyzer and scanning electron microscope. The (Al0.5CoCrFeNi)0.95Mo0.025C0.025 HEA has a uniform face-centered cubic plus body-centered cubic solid solution structure and a fine grain-sized microstructure with a size of about 2 microns. The HEA possesses an excellent strain hardening rate and high strain rate sensitivity at a high strain rate. The Johnson–Cook plastic model was used to describe the dynamic flow behavior. Hat-shaped specimens with different nominal strain levels were used to investigate forced shear localization. After dynamic deformation, a thin and short shear band was generated in the designed shear zone and then the specimen quickly fractured along the shear band.

Strain rate sensitivity has been widely recognized as a significant feature of the dynamic mechanical properties of lithium-ion cells, which are important for their accurate representation in automotive crash simulations. This research sought to improve the precision with which dynamic mechanical properties can be determined from drop tower impact testing through the use of a diaphragm to minimize transient shock loads and to constrain off-axis motion of the indenter, specialized impact absorbers to reduce noise, and observation of displacement with a high speed camera. Inert pouch cells showed strain rate sensitivity in an increased stiffness during impact tests that was consistent with the poromechanical interaction of the porous structure of the jellyroll with the liquid electrolyte. The impact behaviour of the inert pouch cells was similar to that of an Expanded Polypropylene foam (EPP), with the exception that the inert pouch cells did not show hysteretic recovery under the weight of the indenter. This suggests that the dynamic mechanical behaviour of the inert pouch cells is analogous to a highly damped foam.

The continuous basalt fiber (CBF) as inorganic fiber obtained from the basalt melt. It has high elastic modulus, low bulk density, low thermal conductivity, low moisture absorption rate and excellent alkali resistance, etc. In this paper, the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) technique is used for testing the CBF composite plate and its sandwich structure with aluminum foam core dynamic mechanical properties, and then to study the dynamic properties of CBF composite plate and its aluminum foam sandwich structure under different high strain rate. From the test results we can see that the CBF-foam aluminum sandwich structure has superior energy absorption properties, and also from the experiment results we can obtain that the sandwich structure dynamic stress-strain curves has a typically "three-phase" characteristics and strain rate effect.

Shale gas is the most important new energy source in the field of energy, and its exploitation is very important. The research on the dynamic mechanical properties of shale is the premise of exploitation. To study the dynamic mechanical properties of shale from the Changning-Weiyuan area of Sichuan Province, China, under confining pressure, we used a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) test system with an active containment device to carry out dynamic compression tests on shale with different bedding angles. (1) With active confining pressure, the shale experiences a high strain rate, and its stress-strain curve exhibits obvious plastic deformation. (2) For the same impact pressure, the peak stress of shale describes a U-shaped curve with an increasing bedding angle; besides, the peak stress of shale with different bedding angles increases linearly with rising confining pressure. The strain rate shows a significant confining pressure enhancement effect. With active confining pressure, the peak strain gradually decreases as the bedding angle increases. (3) As a result of the influence of different bedding angles, the dynamic elastic modulus of shale has obvious anisotropic characteristics. Shale with different bedding angles exhibits different rates of increase in the dynamic elastic modulus with rising confining pressure, which may be related to differences in the development of planes of weakness in the shale. The results of this study improve our understanding of the behavior of bedded shale under stress.
