In order to study dynamic mechanical properties of float glass under blast and ballistic/fragmentation impacts, the curves of stress- strain are obtained in higher ranges by using the modified Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) techniques. Experimental results indicate that float glass is nonlinear elastic-brittle materials, and its dynamic curves of stress-strain are nonlinear and can be divided into three stages: elastic, nonlinear strengthening and stress drop. The dynamic Young’s modulus and the dynamic compressive strength of float glass increase with the increasing of strain rate. Finally, an explanation was given according to principle of energy equilibrium of Griffith.

Dynamic mechanical behavior of geomaterials has been widely observed in tunneling, oil and gas extraction, and blasting in civil and mining applications. It is important to understand how much energy is necessary to break or fail geomaterials to optimize the design of blasting patterns, oil and gas extractions, demolition, military defense, etc. However, there is little understanding for quantifying the required energy to break geomaterials under dynamic loading. More importantly, as typical geomaterials tend to hydrate, it is necessary to understand how much energy will be needed to break the structures under water saturation. Thus, in this study, we analyzed the consumed energy used to deform geomaterials using a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB), enabling to measure stress and strain responses of geomaterials under dynamic loading condition of high strain rate (102–104/sec). Two different saturation levels (dry vs. fully saturation) in two sandstone samples having different pore sizes were tested under dynamic loading conditions. Our results demonstrate that dynamic mechanical strength (maximum stress) is greater in the dry geomaterials when compared with the saturated samples, and Young’s modulus (or maximum strain) can be a useful parameter to examine porosity effects between dry and saturated geomaterials on dynamic mechanical properties.

Although highly desirable, the experimental technology of the dynamic mechanical properties of materials under multiaxial impact loading is rarely explored. In this study, a true-biaxial split Hopkinson pressure bar device is developed to achieve the biaxial synchronous impact loading of a specimen. A symmetrical wedge-shaped, dual-wave bar is designed to decompose a single stress wave into two independent and symmetric stress waves that eventually form an orthogonal system and load the specimen synchronously. Furthermore, a combination of ground gaskets and lubricant is employed to eliminate the shear stress wave and separate the coupling of the shear and axial stress waves propagating in bars. Some confirmatory and applied tests are carried out, and the results show not only the feasibility of this modified device but also the dynamic mechanical characteristics of specimens under biaxial impact loading. This novel technique is readily implementable and also has good application potential in material mechanics testing.

The dynamic mechanical properties of a material are important keys to investigate the impact characteristic of a structure such as a crash box. For some materials, the stress-strain relationships at high strain rate loadings are different than that at the static condition. These mechanical properties depend on the strain rate of the loadings, and hence an appropriate testing technique is required to measure them. To measure the mechanical properties of a material at high strain rates, ranging from 500 s-1 to 10000 s-1, a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar is commonly used. In the measurements, strain pulses are generated in the bars system, and pulses being reflected and transmitted by a test specimen in the bar system are measured. The stress-strain curves as the material properties of the test specimen are obtained by processing the measured reflected and transmitted pulses. This paper presents the measurements of the mechanical properties of St 37 mild steel at several strain rates using a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar. The stress-strain curves obtained in the measurement were curve fitted using the Power Law. The results show that the strength of St 37 material increases as the strain rate increases.

A Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB), an experimental apparatus for testing of solid materials at high strain rates, was in-house designed and realized by the Mechanical Engineering Dept. of WSU: it can test different types of materials and provide their dynamic mechanical properties (e.g. Young’s modulus, hardening or plasticization coefficients, yield strength). This SHPB works at strain rate levels between 1000 and 3000 s-1 and impact speeds between 6 and 9 m/s. The specimen is simply a 6 mm dia. 3 mm long cylinder. The apparatus and its software were benchmarked by means of tests on Aluminum and Titanium, whose mechanical properties are well known, and later successfully applied to non-metallic materials like Nylon, Epoxy, Carbon fiber and glass fiber reinforced composites.

This study focused on evaluating mechanical and dynamic-mechanical properties of polyaramid/vinyl ester composites, as a function of the fiber content. Furthermore, split Hopkinson pressure bar technique and V50 Ballistic limit tests were performed. Composites were prepared by resin transfer molding (RTM) with different fiber content, samples being identified as AD4, AD5 and AD6 (with 4, 5 and 6 polyaramid layers, respectively). Initially, fiber, void and matrix contents were calculated and statistically analyzed, in different regions of the composites. Mechanical and dynamical mechanical properties of the composites were improved by using higher fiber content. For example, impact strength of AD6 composite was 35% higher than AD4. Moreover, increase in the fiber content promoted an increase in tenacity and stress of the composites, in the same strain rate. Velocity limit in AD6 sample was estimated in ballistics tests and it was concluded that the composite obtained could accomplish the level I requisites of ballistic protection with V50 of 304 m.s−1.
