The dynamic response of the turbine blade materials is indispensable for analysis of erosions of turbine blades as a result of impulsive loading associated with gas flow. This paper is concerned with the dynamic material properties of the Inconel 718 alloy which is widely used in the high speed turbine blade. The dynamic response at the corresponding level of the strain rate should be acquired with an adequate experimental technique and apparatus due to the inertia effect and the stress wave propagation. In this paper, the dynamic response of the Inconel 718 at the intermediate strain rate ranged from 1/s to 400/s is obtained from the high speed tensile test and that at the high strain rate above 1000/s is obtained from the split Hopkinson pressure bar test. The effects of the strain rate on the dynamic flow stress, the strain rate sensitivity and the failure elongation are evaluated with the experimental results. Experimental results from both the quasi-static and the high strain rate up to 3000/s are interpolated in order to construct the constitutive relation that should be applied to simulate the dynamic behavior of the turbine blade made of the Inconel 718.

The results of dynamic compression and tensile-splitting tests of concrete reinforced by randomly distributed short non – metallic fibres are presented. A Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar combined with a high-speed photographic system, was used to conduct dynamic Brazilian tests. Quasi static test show that the reinforcement of concrete by the non-metallic fibres leads to the improvement of mechanical properties at quasi static loading. This phenomenon was not observed at the high strain rate loading .Some explanation of this result is briefly outlined.

Nickel-based superalloys have several applications for components exposed to high temperatures and high strain rate loading conditions during services. The objective of this study was to investigate the tensile properties of Inconel 718 produced using the laser metal deposition technique. Specimens with different heat treatments were investigated. Experimental tests were performed at the DYNLab at Politecnico di Torino (Italy). The temperature sensitivity was investigated between 20 °C and 1000 °C on a Hopkinson bar setup at a nominal strain rate of 1500 s−1. The specimens heating was obtained by means of an induction heating system, and the temperature control was performed by thermocouples, an infrared pyrometer, and a high-speed infrared camera. The thermal images were analyzed to check the uniformity of the heating and to investigate the presence of adiabatic self-heating. The results showed that the materials strength exhibited a significant drop starting from 800 °C. The strain rate influence was investigated at room temperature, and limited sensitivity was found covering six orders of magnitude in the strain rate. A preliminary analysis of the fracture mode was performed. Finally, different solutions for the strength material modeling were proposed and discussed with the aim of identifying models to be used in finite element simulations.

Advanced polymeric materials and polymer based nanocomposites are finding an increasing range of industrial and defence applications. These materials have the potential to improve combat survivability, whilst reducing cost and weight. This study deals with nanocomposites manufactured from blends of low density polyethylene (LDPE) with various nanofillers. The high strain rate behaviour of these materials was investigated using the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) test. The experimental results for non-reinforced materials were used as a reference to analyse the effect of the nanofillers on the properties and performance of the nano­composites. These results, together with those obtained from other mechanical tests, will be used as input into finite-element analyses to simulate the performance of these materials in lightweight armour applications. In the first step, the finite element model was validated by simulating the SHPB test and comparing the predicted results with those from the experiments. Explicit finite element analysis was used for the simulation. The fully developed model was able to demonstrate the behaviour of the test bar and specimen interaction correctly and reasonably good agreement between predicted and experimental results was observed.

This paper is concerned with the dynamic characteristics of sinter-forged Cu–Cr alloy for various strain-rates. The amount of the chrome content is varied from 10 %wt to 30 %wt in order to investigate the influence of the chrome content on the dynamic characteristics. The dynamic response at the corresponding level of strain-rate should be obtained with an adequate experimental technique and corresponding apparatus due to the inertia effect and the stress wave propagation. In this paper, the high speed tensile testing machine is utilized in order to identify the dynamic response of the Cu–Cr alloy at the intermediate strain-rates and the split Hopkinson pressure bar is used at the high strain-rates. Experimental results from both the quasi-static and the high strain-rates up to the 5000/s are interpolated with respect to the amount of the chrome content in order to construct the Johnson–Cook and the modified Johnson–Cook model as the constitutive relation for numerical simulation of the dynamic impact behavior of electrodes.

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.
