本文中提出单轴双向加载分离式霍普金森压杆（bidirectional-load split Hopkinson compression bar,BSHCB）,即在传统的分离式霍普金森压杆（split Hopkinson pressure bar,SHPB）的基础上增加另一个对称的入射波,两边的入射波同时且对称地对试样进行动态加载。根据一维应力波传播理论,推导出单轴双向加载分离式霍普金森杆的数据处理公式。通过数值模拟分析发现,所推导的数据处理公式可以用于计算单轴双向加载实验中试样的工程应力、工程应变和工程应变率。此外,单轴双向对称加载不仅可缩短试样内部应力均匀化的过程,而且可以提高试样应变率。     

基于SHPB的UHPC冲击试验径向惯性效应分析

为探讨UHPC试件惯性效应对SHPB加载过程的影响,采用大型有限元分析软件LS-DYNA从试件直径、长径比以及恒应变率加载等角度出发,开展了相应的数值模拟与分析。通过对软件中Karagozian-Case-Concrete (KCC)损伤模型参数取值进行优化,建立了基于SHPB技术的UHPC材料冲击压缩数值模型并与试验验证。在此基础上,开展不同UHPC试件直径、长径比以及有无整形器下的参数分析,探讨其对SHPB试验中径向惯性效应的影响。结果表明:(1)为实现加载过程中一维应力传播和UHPC试件应力平衡,试件直径建议按0.90～0.95倍杆件直径取值;(2) UHPC试件长径比对试件加载过程中的应力平衡影响较小,但综合试件中钢纤维分布均匀性以及破坏前一维应力传播,建议按0.35～0.45取值;(3)实现恒应变率加载是UHPC材料在SHPB冲击试验中消除径向惯性效应的重要前提。     

基于数字图像的分离式霍普金森压杆实验中试件应变及两端应力的同步测量法

本文提出一种基于高速摄像和数字图像相关方法(DIC)的分离式Hopkinson压杆(SHPB)测量技术,从而实现试件应变和两端应力的同步测量。即在与试件接触的输入输出杆两端制作散斑,通过高速摄像获取SHPB实验过程中的散斑变形图像,由DIC测得各时刻试件的应变、输入输出杆端的应变(可直接换算为试件两端的应力)。由于试件和杆端的应变都是从同一张高速摄影的图像上分析得到的,因此它们是同步的。应用该方法对钢纤维混凝土试件的SHPB试验进行了测量,测量结果与传统应变片测量结果吻合,验证了该方法的可行性。该技术不仅实现了SHPB实验中试件应变和应力的同步测量,还将有助于直接检验各材料在SHPB实验中试件两端的力在实验过程中是否平衡。

Erratum to: Rock Dynamic Fracture Toughness Tested with Holed-Cracked Flattened Brazilian Discs Diametrically Impacted by SHPB and its Size Effect

Dynamic fracture initiation toughness of marble was tested using two types of the holed-cracked flattened Brazilian disc (HCFBD) specimens, which were diametrically impacted at the flat end of the disc by the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) of 100 mm diameter. One type of the discs is geometrically similar with different outside diameter of 42 mm, 80 mm, 122 mm and 155 mm respectively, and with crack length being half the diameter; another type of the discs has identical 80 mm diameter and different crack length. Issues associated with determination of the stress wave loading by the SHPB system and the crack initiation time in the disc specimen were resolved using strain gage technique. The stress waves recorded on the bars and the disc failure patterns are shown and explained. The tested dynamic fracture toughness increases obviously with increasing diameter for the geometrically similar HCFBD specimens. It changes moderately for the one-size specimens of identical diameter and different crack length. The size effect of rock dynamic fracture toughness is mainly caused by the fracture process zone length l and fracture incubation time τ, the latter being an additional influencing factor for the dynamic loading as compared with the counterpart static situation. Hence a method is proposed to determine a unique value for the dynamic fracture initiation toughness, the approach takes average of the local distribution and time history for dynamic stress intensity factor in the spatial-temporal domain, which is defined by l and τ jointly. In this way the dynamic size effect is minimized.     

Stress-strain relationships for spruce wood: Influence of strain rate,moisture content and loading direction

The influence of strain rate, moisture content and loading direction on the stress-strain relationships for spruce wood has been investigated. The strain rates were approximately 8×10⁻³ s⁻¹, 17s⁻¹ and 1000 s⁻¹, and the states of moisture content were those corresponding to oven dry, fiber saturated and fully saturated. Compressive loads were applied along the principal directions of the stem of the tree, i.e., radially, tangentially and axially. The low and medium strain-rate tests were performed with the aid of a servohydraulic testing machine, while the high strain-rate tests were carried out using the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) technique. Magnesium or steel bars were used in the different SHPB tests in order to reduce impedance mismatch for the different directions of the wood specimens. The strain rate was found to have large influence on the behavior of the wood, especially under the condition of full saturation, where water transport in the deforming specimen is of major importance.     

Miniaturized Compression Test at Very High Strain Rates by Direct Impact

A modified miniaturized version of the Direct Impact Compression Test (DICT) technique is described in this paper. The method permits determination of the rate-sensitive plastic properties of materials up to strain rate ∼10⁵ s⁻¹. Miniaturization of the experimental setup with specimen dimensions: diameter d _S = 2.0 mm and thickness l _S = 1.0 mm, Hopkinson bar diameter 5.2 mm, with application of a novel optical arrangement in measurement of specimen strain, makes possible compression tests at strain rates from ∼10³ s⁻¹ to ∼10⁵ s⁻¹. In order to estimate the rate sensitivity of a low-alloy construction steel, quasi-static, Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) and DICT tests have been performed at room temperature within the rate spectrum ranging from 5*10⁻⁴ s⁻¹ to 5*10⁴ s⁻¹. Adiabatic heating and friction effects are analyzed and the final true stress versus true strain curves at different strain rates are corrected to a constant temperature and zero friction. The results have been analyzed in the form of true stress versus the logarithm of strain rate and they show two regions of a constant rate sensitivity : relatively low up to the strain rate threshold ∼50 s⁻¹, and relatively high above the threshold, up to strain rate ∼4.5*10⁴ s⁻¹.

针对SHPB试验中试件的轴向应力均匀性问题,采用一维弹性波理论,推导了具有任意形状前沿的入射波加载下,试件内应力的时空分布计算公式。以脉冲前沿的上升时间为参数,将矩形、梯形和坡形3种典型的输入脉冲统一表示为梯形波的形式,计算了不同入射波上升时间和不同试件-压杆波阻抗比情况下试件中的应力传播过程,得到了相应的应力均匀度时程曲线以及应力平衡时间。分析了入射波上升时间和试件-压杆波阻抗比对应力平衡时间的影响,得到了一些有意义的认识,为SHPB试验的设计与分析提供了一定的理论依据。     

Design of Inserts for Split-Hopkinson Pressure Bar Testing of Low Strain-to-Failure Materials

In the present study a new insert design is presented and validated to enable reliable dynamic mechanical characterization of low strain-to-failure materials using the Split-Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) apparatus. Finite element-based simulations are conducted to better understand the effects of stress concentrations on the dynamic behavior of LM-1, a Zr-based bulk metallic glass (BMG), using the conventional SHPB setup with cylindrical inserts, and two modified setups—one utilizing conical inserts and the other utilizing a “dogbone” shaped specimen. Based on the results of these computational experiments the ends of the dogbone specimen are replaced with high-strength maraging steel inserts. This new insert-specimen configuration is expected to prevent specimen failure outside the specimen gage section. Simulations are then performed to validate the new insert design. Moreover, high strain-rate uniaxial compression tests are conducted on LM-1 using the modified SHPB with the new inserts. An ultra-high-speed camera is employed to investigate the changes in failure behavior of the specimens. Additional experiments are conducted with strain gages directly attached to the gage section of the specimens to determine accurately their dynamic stress–strain behavior.

A shear-compression specimen for large strain testing

A new specimen geometry, the shear-compression specimen (SCS), has been developed for large strain testing of materials. The specimen consists of a cylinder in which two diametrically opposed slots are machined at 45° with respect to the longitudinal axis, thus forming the test gage section. The specimen was analyzed numerically for two representative material models, and various gage geometries. This study shows that the stress (strain) state in the gage, is three-dimensional rather than simple shear as would be commonly assumed. Yet, the dominant deformation mode in the gage section is shear, and the stresses and strains are rather uniform. Simple relations were developed and assessed to relate the equivalent true stress and equivalent true plastic strain to the applied loads and displacements. The specimen was further validated through experiments carried out on OFHC copper, by comparing results obtained with the SCS to those obtained with compression cylinders. The SCS allows to investigate a large range of strain rates, from the quasi-static regime, through intermediate strain rates (1–100 s⁻¹), up to very high strain rates (2×10⁴s⁻¹ in the present case).     

Compressive properties of epoxidized soybean oil/clay nanocomposites

High- and low strain-rate compression experiments were conducted on epoxidized soybean oil (ESO)/clay nanocomposites with nanoclay weights of 0%, 5%, and 8%. A pulse-shaped split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) was employed to conduct high strain-rate experiments. The pulse shaping technique ensures nearly constant-strain-rate deformation under dynamically equilibrated stresses in specimens such that accurate stress–strain curves at various high rates were obtained. A MTS 810 hydraulically driven materials testing system was used to obtain low strain-rate stress–strain curves. Strain-rate and nanoclay weight effects on the compressive properties of the nanocomposites were experimentally determined. A phenomenological strain-rate-dependent material model was presented to describe the stress–strain response. The model agrees well with the experimental data at both large and small strains as well as high and low strain rates.     

混凝土一维应力层裂实验的全场DIC分析

基于74mm直径分离式Hopkinson杆(SHPB)实验平台进行了混凝土杆的一维应力层裂实验.采用超高速相机(采样频率:2 $\mu$s/frame)结合数字图像相关法(DIC),记录混凝土试件中的动态位移场实时变化情况,探讨了混凝土在拉伸断裂过程中的表面位移场及速度场演化规律.针对实验中出现的多重层裂现象,基于一维应力波传播理论,指出各个位置在发生层裂时,其最大拉应力均由透射压缩波与反射拉伸波叠加而成,各处层裂发生时均处于一维应力状态.并提出了根据层裂位置左右两点速度趋势变化判断层裂发生时刻的判据.该判据可以给出所有层裂的起裂时间,结合DIC分析直接给出了混凝土多重层裂应变.结果显示混凝土的拉伸强度具有明显的应变率效应,在30 s$^{-1}$的应变率下,其拉伸强度的动态增强因子(DIF)可以达到5.与传统的波叠加法和自由面速度回跳法相比,DIC全场分析法不受加载波形限制,可以精确给出每个层裂的位置和起裂时间,从而得到试件在高应变率加载下不同位置处的断裂应变、拉伸强度及相应应变率,提高了测量效率.      

基于DIHPB技术的高应变率剪切测试方法

在测试材料动态力学性能时,直接撞击式霍布金森压杆（direct impact Hopkinson pressure bar,DIHPB）实验系统相对于分离式霍布金森压杆（split Hopkinson pressure bar,SHPB）,往往能获得更高的应变率。本文中采用一种新型双剪切试样,在DIHPB系统下对603钢进行了动态剪切测试。获得了603钢在应变率1 500～33 000 s?1的剪应力-剪应变曲线,并与SHPB系统下的测试结果进行了对比。结果表明,由两种测试方法获得的流动应力具有较好的一致性,但曲线的上升沿存在明显区别。采用数值模拟对DIHPB方法的准确性进行了验证,并对该实验方法的适用条件进行了分析。采用DIHPB方法,可以观察到603钢的流动应力存在明显的应变率效应,但在较高的加载速度下材料的失效应力随着加载速度的增加而呈降低趋势。     

Effect of Mass Density on the Compressive Behavior of Dry Sand Under Confinement at High Strain Rates

Dynamic compressive behavior of dry quartz sand (Quikrete #1961 sand quarried in Pensacola, FL) under confinement was characterized using a modified long split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB). Sand grains were confined inside a hollow cylinder of hardened steel and capped by cemented tungsten carbide cylindrical rods. This assembly was subjected to repeated shaking to consolidate sand to attain precise bulk mass densities. It is then sandwiched between incident and transmission bars on SHPB for dynamic compression measurements. Sand specimens of five initial mass densities, namely, 1.51, 1.57, 1.63, 1.69, and 1.75 g/cm³, were characterized at high strain rates near 600 s⁻¹, to determine the volumetric and deviatoric behaviors through measurements of both axial and transverse responses of a cylindrical sand sample under confinement. The stress–strain relationship was found to follow a power law relationship with the sand initial bulk density, with an exponent of 8.25, indicating a behavior highly sensitive to mass density. The energy absorption density and compressibility of sand were determined as a function of axial stress.

Determination of Early Flow Stress for Ductile Specimens at High Strain Rates by Using a SHPB

In a dynamic experiment to obtain the high-rate stress–strain response of a ductile specimen, it takes a finite amount of time for the strain rate in the specimen to increase from zero to a desired level. The strain in the specimen accumulates during this strain-rate ramping time. If the desired strain rate is high, the specimen may yield before the desired rate is attained. In this case, the strain rates at yielding and early plastic flow are lower than the desired value, leading to inaccurate determination of the yield strength. Through experimentation and analysis, we examined the validity and accuracy of the flow stresses for ductile materials in a split Hopkinson pressure (SHPB) bar experiment. The upper strain-rate limit for determining the dynamic yield strength of ductile materials with a SHPB is identified.     

Shear Failure of Inconel 718 under Dynamic Loads

Kinetics of deformation and fracture of nickel–iron alloy Inconel 718 under dynamic shear loading was measured using a split torsional Hopkinson bar facility and high-speed photography. Tubular specimens with a reduced gage length and a starter notch were sheared at strain rates up to 6 × 10³ s⁻¹. High-speed photographs of fiducial lines scribed on the specimen surface showed the development of local strains and cracking. This paper describes the experimental and analytical procedures, illustrates average and local plastic strain evolution, and presents shear crack initiation times and propagation speeds.
