Effect of strain rate on mechanical properties of pure iron was studied by compression experiments using Gleebe-1500D thermal simulation testing machine and Split-Hopkinson Pressure Bar, indicating that pure iron only has strain rate hardening effect. Adiabatic temperature rise tends to increase with increasing the strain rate. Work hardening effect is also analyzed. It found that there are only two work hardening regions in static stage (10-3 to 1 s-1) while there are three work hardening regions in dynamic stage (650 to 8500 s-1). It is on account of onset of twining at high strain rates.

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.

By electronic universal testing machine and Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar, the mechanical properties data of Fe-36Ni invar alloy are gained at a range of temperature from 20°C to 800°C and strain rate from 10-3 /s to 104/s. An improved Johnson-Cook model is presented to describe the mechanical behavior of Fe-36Ni invar alloy at high temperature and high strain rate, and verified by experimental results.

In order to discuss the effect of content of primary α on properties of bimodal microstructure, the TC4 sheet in rolling state was heat treated at different temperatures of 10~50°Cbelow the β-transus temperature, then a series of bimodal microstructures with different content of primary α were obtained by air-cooled procedure. Quasi-static and dynamic compress tests were carried out with universal material testing machine and Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) respectively. The results indicated that the relationship between mechanical properties and primary α is irregular, and that bimodal microstructure with 25% primary α shows a better combination of strength and ductility.

Abstract The compression behavior of a naturally occurring porous and heterogeneous biocomposite, balsa wood, along the grain direction is investigated at strain rates 10−3 to 104 s−1. Specimens with different densities, ranging from 55 to 380 kg/m3, were loaded by a modified Kolsky (split Hopkinson) pressure bar apparatus at varying high strain rates and by a screw-driven testing machine at quasi-static strain rates. The mechanical response of balsa wood is documented and the variation of compressive strength, crushing stress and densification strain as a function of density and strain rate is presented. Results show that characteristics of mechanical response for balsa wood are significantly affected by the strain rate and density.

In order to improve the mechanical properties of composite materials, one of the renowned techniques that can be applied is the filler modification. Still, no works were concern on this particular matter under dynamic standpoint. Therefore, 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 (UTM) and the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) apparatus. Muscovite particles were treated with lithium nitrate and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as a surfactant through surface modification. Results show that the treated polypropylene/muscovite samples with fine state of dispersion level shows superior mechanical performances as compared to untreated polypropylene/muscovite samples under an extensive range of strain rate investigated. Furthermore, the mechanical properties of both tested polypropylene/muscovite layered silicate composites also display great reliance on the strain rate applied where strength and stiffness properties were gradually increased with increasing strain rate. Key words: Organic modification; Strength and stiffness properties; Muscovite particles; Split Hopkinson pressure bar apparatus; Strain rates

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.
