Structural Adhesive

The high strain-rate compressive stress-strain loops for bulk specimens of an epoxy structural adhesive are determined on the standard split Hopkinson pressure bar. The compressive stress-strain data including unloading curves are obtained over a wide range of strain rates from 10-3to 103/s. The effects of strain rate on the initial (secant) modulus, flow stress, dissipation energy and hysteresis loss ratio are discussed. The experimental results show that the bulk structural adhesive exhibits dynamic viscoelastic behavior like polymers.

The present paper is concerned with constitutive modeling of the compressive stress-strain behavior of selected polymers at strain rates from 10-3 to 103/s using a modified Ramberg-Osgood equation. High strain-rate compressive stress-strain curves up to strains of nearly 0.08 for four different commercially available extruded polymers were determined on the standard split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB). The low and intermediate strain-rate compressive stress-strain relations were measured in an Instron testing machine. Six parameters in the modified Ramberg-Osgood equation were determined by fitting to the experimental stress-strain data using a least-squares fit. It was shown that the monotonic compressive stress-strain behavior over a wide range of strain rates can successfully be described by the modified Ramberg-Osgood constitutive model. The limitations of the model were discussed.

Stress Strain

The high strain-rate constitutive behavior of polymer composites with various natural fibers is studied. Hemp, hemp/glass hybrid, cellulose, and wheat straw-reinforced polymeric composites have been manufactured, and a split-Hopkinson pressure bar apparatus has been designed to measure the dynamic stress–strain response of the materials. Using the apparatus, compressive stress–strain curves have been obtained that reveal the materials’ constitutive characteristics at strain rates between 600 and 2400 strain/s. Primary findings indicate that natural fibers in thermoset composites dissipate energy at lower levels of stress and higher strain than glass-reinforced composites. In the case of thermoplastic matrices, the effect on energy dissipation of natural fibers vs. conventional talc reinforcements is highly dependent on resin properties. Natural fibers in polypropylene homopolymer show improved reinforcement but have degraded energy dissipation compared to talc. Whereas in polypropylene copolymer, natural fibers result in improved energy dissipation compared to talc. These data are useful for proper design, analysis, and simulation of lightweight biocomposites.

Dissipation Energy

Compressive stress-strain loops of selected polymers at strain rates up to nearly 800/s are determined in a strain range of nearly 8% on the standard split Hopkinson pressure bar. Four different commercially available extruded polymers are tested at room temperature. The compressive stress-strain loops at low and intermediate strain rates are measured on an Instron testing machine. The effects of strain rate on the Young's modulus, flow stress and dissipation energy are discussed. It is shown that the area included within the stress-strain loop increases with increasing strain rate as well as a given strain, that is, all four extruded polymers tested exhibit intrinsic strain-rate dependent viscoelastic behavior and a high elastic aftereffect following complete unloading.

Set Up

In this paper is described the mechanical characterization at high strain rate of the high strength steel usually adopted for strands. The experimental set-up used for high strain rates testing: in tension and compression was the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar installed in the Laboratory of Dynamic Investigation of Materials in Nizhny Novgorod. The high strain rate data in tension was obtained with dog-bone shaped specimens of 3mm in diameter and 5mm of gauge length. The specimens were screwed between incident and transmitter bars. The specimens used in compression was a cylinder of 3mm in diameter and 5mm in length. The enhancement of the mechanical properties is quite limited compared the usual reinforcing steels.

The high strain-rate compressive characteristics of a cross-ply carbon/epoxy laminated composite in the three principal material directions or fibre (1-), in-plane transverse (2-) and throughthickness (3-) directions are investigated on the conventional split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) over a range of temperatures between 20 and 80 °C. A nearly 10 mm thick cross-ply carbon/epoxy composite laminate fabricated using vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VaRTM) was tested. Cylindrical specimens with a slenderness ratio (= length/diameter) of 0.5 are used in high strain-rate tests, and those with the slenderness ratios of 1.0 and 1.5 are used in low and intermediate strain-rate tests. The uniaxial compressive stress-strain curves up to failure at quasi-static and intermediate strain rates are measured on an Instron testing machine at elevated temperatures. A pair of steel rings is attached to both ends of the cylindrical specimens to prevent premature end crushing in the 1-and 2-direction tests on the Instron testing machine. It is shown that the ultimate compressive strength (or failure stress) exhibits positive strainrate effects and negative temperature ones over a strain-rate range of 10–3 to 103/s and a temperature range of 20 to 80 °C in the three principal material directions.
