Die Steel

An experimental investigation on the strain rate sensitivity of die steel (D3) has been presented in this paper at different rates (0.001-2500s-1) of uni-axial compression. Quasi-static tests (0.001s-1) of the material are conducted on universal testing machine (UTM), whereas, the experiments at high strain rates are performed on split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) apparatus. The effects of gauge length of the specimen on the material properties of the material are studied at different strain rates. The material parameters of existing Cowper-Symonds and Johnson-Cook material models are determined and the suitability of the models is examined.

This paper presents the experimental results to analyze the strain rate sensitivity of aluminium alloy AA-5052 H34. The experiments were carried out under uniaxial tension as well as compression. Tensile tests were carried out with UTM (Zwick Z-250) in the strain rate range of 10-4 to 10-1 s-1 using standard ASTM specimen with gauge length 50mm. Compression tests were carried out in the strain rate range of 10-4 to 103 s-1 using UTM and Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar. Cylindrical specimens of 10mm diameter and 10mm thickness were used for compression experiments. The material showed negative strain rate sensitivity in strain rate from 10-4 to 1 s-1 but showed positive strain rate sensitivity when strain rate increased to 103 s-1. The material was found to be susceptible to Portevin–Le Chatelier effect.

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.

Surface modification is one of the treatment methods that can be implemented to improve the strain rate sensitivity of composite materials. In this study, both untreated and treated polypropylene/muscovite layered silicate composites were tested under static and dynamic loading up to 1100 s-1 using the universal testing machine and the split Hopkinson pressure bar apparatus, respectively. Muscovite particles were treated with lithium nitrate and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as a surfactant through ion exchange treatment. Results show that the treated polypropylene/muscovite specimens with fine state of dispersion level shows better rate of sensitivity as compared to untreated polypropylene/muscovite specimens under a wide range of strain rate investigated. Apart from that, the rate of sensitivity of both tested polypropylene/muscovite layered silicate composites also show great dependency on the strain rate sensitivity was steadily increased with increasing strain rate. Unfortunately, the thermal activation values show contrary trend.

With the demand of lightweight structure, more and more metal foams were employed as impact protection and efficient energy absorption materials in engineering fields. But, results from different impact experiments showed that the strain rate sensitivity of metal foams were different or even controversial. In order to explore the true hiding behind the controversial experimental data about the strain rate sensitivity of metal foams, numerical simulations of split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) tests of the metal foams were carried out by finite element methods. In the analysis, cell structures of metal foams were constructed by means of 3D Voronoi, and the matrix metal was assumed to be no strain rate sensitivity, which helps to learn the strain rate effects quantitatively by the foam structures. Numerical simulations showed that the deformation of the metal foam specimen is not uniform during the SHPB tests along the specimen, and the strain–stress relations of the metal foams at two ends of the specimen are different; there exists strain rate sensitivity of the metal foams even the matrix metal has no strain rate sensitivity, when the strain of the metal foams is defined by the displacement difference between the ends of the specimen; localized deformation of the metal foams and the inertia effect of matrix metal are the two main contributions to the strain rate sensitivity of the metal foams.

Ti-6Al-4V alloy is one of the most important engineering alloys, combining attractive properties with inherent workability. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of strain rate on the compressive mechanical properties of Ti6Al4V alloy manufactured by a selective laser melting process. The mechanical tests were performed by means of a compression split Hopkinson pressure bar apparatus under high strain rate ranging from 1400 s-1 to 4500 s-1. The true stress-strain curves obtained from static and dynamic compressive tests show strain rate sensitivity from quasi-static (peak strength 1300MPa) to high strain rate (peak 1500 MPa). Within the high strain rate range tested, the strain rate sensitivity is not remarkable. The fractographic analysis shows a relatively smooth and smeared fractured surface along with a dimple like structure. The observation of elongated dimples confirms the operation of a dynamic shear failure mechanism for the additively manufactured Ti-6Al-4V parts.

Shock wave compression of poled PZT95/5 ceramics results in rapid depoling and a release of bound charge. Porous PZT95/5 ceramics are superior to dense ceramics in high-voltage breakdown resistance under shock-wave loading. In this article, the mechanical and electrical responses of porous poled PZT95/5 ceramics under uniaxial stresses at different strain rates were investigated using the servo-hydraulic MTS810 universal test machine and the improved split Hopkinson pressure bar system. The engineering stress vs. axial and radial engineering strain curves of porous poled PZT95/5 ceramics under different strain rates exhibit anomalous nonlinear behavior. The nonlinear behavior and depolarization mechanism of porous poled PZT95/5 were attributed to the domain switching and phase transformation. By comparing the stress–strain curves of the porosity porous poled PZT95/5 ceramics at different strain rates, an obvious strain rate sensitivity of mechanical behavior can be found, and the strain rate sensitivity decreases with the increase of porosity. The critical stress of domain switching and phase transformation and the strength increased with increasing strain rate. In addition, their normalized values showed a logarithmic relationship with the strain rate. Finally, we suggest that the maximum polarization released is nearly independent of stress state and strain rate, and it only depends on the porosity.

Temperature variation is one important factor that affects the dynamic mechanical properties of frozen soil under impact loading. Thermal damage is a collective phenomenon that can be caused by temperature variation. This paper investigates the effects of thermal damage on strain course. A split Hopkinson pressure bar was employed to investigate the dynamic mechanical characteristics of frozen soil at different temperatures and different strain rates. The stress-strain curves were obtained under impact loading. The compressive strength of frozen soil showed a negative temperature sensitivity and positive strain-rate trend. Specifically, the strength of frozen soil increased with decreasing temperatures and increasing strain rates.

Scandium Alloy

This work investigates the strain rate sensitivity of the aluminiummagnesium-scandium alloy Scalmalloy, which is used extensively for additive manufacturing of lightweight structures. This high strength aluminium alloy combines very good weldability, machinability and mechanical strength: it can be heat-treated to reach nominal ultimate tensile strengths in excess of 500 MPa. We report tensile tests at strain rates ranging from 10−3 /s to 103 /s at room temperature. It is well known that Al-Mg alloys exhibit a negative strain rate dependency in combination with serrated flow caused by the Portevin-Le Chatelier effect, which describes the interaction of Mg solutes with dislocation propagations. In contrast, in Al-Sc alloys, the flow stress increases with increasing strain rate and displays positive strain rate dependency. Additionally, the presence of Sc in the form of Al3-Sc provides a fine-grained microstructure which allows higher tensile and fatigue strength. This research shows how these combined effects interact in the case of Scalmalloy, which contains both Mg and Sc. Tests are performed at quasi-static, intermediate and high strain rates with a servohydraulic testing machine and a Split-Hopkinson tension bar. Local specimen strain was performed using 2D Digital Image Correlation.

Strain rate sensitivity and dynamic mechanical properties of polymeric materials are affected to a certain extent especially by the rate of loading. However, there is limited number of works reported on that particular issue. Therefore, the paper presents on static and dynamic mechanical properties of various polymeric materials across strain rate from 10-2 to 10-3 s-1. The specimen were tested using universal testing machine (UTM) for static loading and a conventional split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) apparatus for dynamic loading. From the results, the compression modulus and compressive strength of all tested specimen increased significantly with increasing strain rates. In addition, positive increment in terms of strain rate sensitivity was recorded for all tested polymers over a wide range of strain rate investigated. Meanwhile, the thermal activation volume has decreased as increasing strain rate. Of the three polymers, polypropylene shows the highest strain rate sensitivity at static region. On the other hand, at dynamic region, polycarbonate shows the highest strain rate sensitivity than that of polypropylene and polyethylene.
