Dynamic compressive tests were carried out for concrete specimens after exposure to temperatures 23°C, 400°C, 600°C and 800°C by using Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar(SHPB) apparatus. Cylindrical specimens with 98mm in diameter and 49mm in length were used in tests. The strain rates achieved in tests ranged from 30s-1 to 220s-1. The results showed that the compressive strength increases with increasing strain-rate, but decreases with the increase of temperature. However, the effect of strain-rate on improving the compressive strength of concrete decreases with the increase of temperature. Moreover, the strain-rate has an improvement on the peak strain of concrete, and the accretion rate increases with increasing temperature.

For investigating the effect of temperature on the dynamic properties of concrete material, tests for cylindrical concrete specimens at 23°C ~ 800°C were carried out by using Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) apparatus, and the strain rates ranged from 30/s to 220/s. Effects of temperature and strain-rate on the dynamic behavior of concrete were analyzed. The results show that: above 4000C, the dynamic compressive strength of concrete decreases with increasing temperature, and the enhancements of strain-rates on the compressive strength of concrete depend significantly on temperatures. Moreover, both strain-rate and temperature can enhance the peak strain of concrete.

The mechanical properties and fracture failure behavior of the near β-type Ti-5Al-5Mo-5V-3Cr-X (X = 1Fe or 1Zr) titanium alloys were studied by Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) experiment under the dynamic loading conditions at a strain rate of 1.5 × 103 s-1–5.0 × 103 s-1. Results showed that the SHPB specimen fractured in the direction of maximum shearing stress at an angle of 45° with the compression axis. The fracture surface revealed the shear and tension zones with cleavage steps and parabolic dimples. Severe early unloading was observed on the Ti-5553 alloy under a strain rate of 4,900 s-1 loading condition, and the dynamic property of the Ti-55531Zr alloy was proved to be the optimal.

The purpose of this investigation is to study the dynamic hardness of MCrAlY abradable coatings under different strain rates. A dynamic indentation device based on the split Hopkinson pressure bar system (SHPB) was used. The results show that the hardness of MCrAlY coating increased with the increase of the strain rate, which has a positive strain rate effect. In addition, the difference of the static hardness of MCrAlY coating prepared by HVOF and LPPS was only 4%, while the difference in dynamic hardness was 16%.

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.

A Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar system was employed to investigate the compressive dynamic mechanical behaviors of Ti-10V-2Fe-3Al (Ti-1023) alloy with lamellar microstructure, over a broad strain rates ranging from 1500/s to 5100/s. The results reveal that the strain rate has a significant effect on the flow stress of Ti-1023 alloy, and there exists serious thermal softening as the strain rate exceeds 3200/s. The critical strain rate of fracture for this alloy is 2300/s. The microstructure examination indicated that adiabatic shear bands (ASBs) bifurcate more intensely with the increasing of strain rate. Micro-voids nucleate either in the ASB or interface between shear band and matrix bulk. Finally, fracture of this alloy proceeds through the nucleation, growth and coalescence of these voids and cracks along the ASBs.

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.
