The influence of high strain-rate loading on the flexural response of typical light-frame wood construction has been investigated. A total of 30 stud grade 38 mm × 140 mm × 2440 mm (2″ × 6″ × 8′) spruce–pine–fir (S–P–F) lumber specimens were tested within a range of low and high strain-rates between 6 × 10−6 s−1 and 0.4 s−1. A single-degree-of-freedom iterative solution procedure was used to compute the high strain-rate modulus of rupture (MOR) and modulus of elasticity (MOE). The MOR was statistically enhanced by high strain-rates, while the MOE and strain at rupture were not. Since equilibrium of the dynamic stress–strain relationship requires that one or both of the MOE and strain at rupture must be sensitive to strain-rate effects, the lack of observed rate enhancement on these material properties was attributed to large scatter within a small sample set. Based on the results, material dynamic increase factors and a stress–strain relationship suitable for blast resistant design of timber structures were also proposed.

Strain Rate Compression

The high strain rate compression behavior of extruded Mg-Gd-Y magnesium alloy was tested by split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) under the strain rates of 465s-1，2140s-1and 3767s-1. As comparison the quasi-static compression behavior was tested in the meanwhile. The results show that the quasi-static yield stress is equivalent to that of high strain rates, but the flow stress at high strain rates are higher than that of quasi-static stain rate at the same strain. When the strain rate is increase from quasi-static to high strain rates the deformation stresses increase obviously but within the present testing high strain rates, increasing the strain rate the stress has a slight increasing, indicating that at high strain rate the stress of Mg-Gd-Y magnesium alloy is not sensitive to the strain rate. The constitutive equation between deformation stress, strain and strain rate was build based on the tested compression stress strain curves. The calculated stress strain data were compared with tested stress strain curves. The results demonstrate that when the strain rates are 0.001s-1，465s-1，2140s-1respectively the calculated and experimental data are fit very well. The calculated stress is higher than that of tested stress if the strain rate is increase to 3767s-1and the strain is more than 0.15. The discrepancy was explained through the physical soundness of Johnson-Cook model.

The tensile behaviors of 3-D woven fabric under high strain-rate states, i.e. tensile impact behaviors, are important for the design of the fabrics and the reinforced composites under impulsive loading. This paper reports the testing and the numerical simulation of the impact tension behaviors of 3-D woven fabric under high strain rates compared with those under quasi-static tension. The tensile behaviors of 3-D orthogonal woven fabric (3DOWF) were investigated using a MTS 810.23 material testing system and a self-designed split Hopkinson tension bar apparatus, under a wide range of strain rates (0.003–2308/s). The tensile stress–strain curves obtained from the quasi-static and high strain rates were used to analyze the rate-sensitivity of 3DOWF tensile behaviors. It was found that both the tensile strength and the failure strain increased with increases in the strain rate. The two-phase tensile stiffness phenomenon of 3DOWF under high strain rates has been observed experimentally. A microstructure model combined with finite element analysis was established to explain the tensile failure mechanisms of 3DOWF under high strain rates. It was found that the fabric architecture influences the stress wave propagation, thus leading to the two-phase tensile stiffness phenomenon in the stress–strain curve under high strain-rate tensions.

This work compares the pure copper (T2 copper)’s stress-strain relationship at different strain rates in the uni-axial tension test and Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) test. Small samples were utilized in the high strain rate SHPB test in which the accuracy was modified by numerical simulation. The experimental results showed that the T2 copper’s yield strength at high strain rates largely outweighed the quasi static yield strength. The flow stress in the stress-strain curves at different strain rates appeared to be divergent and increased with the increase in strain rates, showing great strain strengthening and strain rate hardening effects. Metallographic observation showed that the microstructure of T2 copper changed from equiaxed grains to twins and the interaction between the dislocation slip zone grain boundary and twins promoted the super plasticity distortion in T2 copper.

High Strain Rates

Testing ceramics at high strain rates presents many experimental diffsiculties due to the brittle nature of the material being tested. When using a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) for high strain rate testing, adequate time is required for stress wave effects to dampen out. For brittle materials, with small strains to failure, it is difficult to satisfy this constraint. Because of this limitation, there are minimal data (if any) available on the stiffness and tensile strength of ceramics at high strain rates. Recently, a new image-based inertial impact (IBII) test method has shown promise for analysing the high strain rate behaviour of brittle materials. This test method uses a reflected compressive stress wave to generate tensile stress and failure in an impacted specimen. Throughout the propagation of the stress wave, full-field displacement measurements are taken, from which strain and acceleration fields are derived. The acceleration fields are then used to reconstruct stress information and identify the material properties. The aim of this study is to apply the IBII test methodology to analyse the stiffness and strength of ceramics at high strain rates. The results show that it is possible to identify the elastic modulus and tensile strength of tungsten carbide at strain rates on the order of 1000 s-1. For a tungsten carbide with 13% cobalt binder the elastic modulus was identified as 516 GPa and the strength was 1400 MPa. Future applications concern boron carbide and sapphire, for which limited data exist in high rate tension.

This paper presents a laboratory experimental study on the effect of high strain rate on compressive behavior of plain and fiber-reinforce high-strength concrete (FRHSC) with similar strength of 80-90 MPa. Steel fibers, polyethylene fibers, and a combination of these were used in the FRHSC. A split Hopkinson pressure bar equipment was used to determine the concrete behavior at strain rates from about 30 to 300 s-1. The ratio of the strength at high strain rates to that at static loading condition, namely dynamic increase factor (DIF), of the concretes was determined and compared with that recommended by CEB-FIP code. Fracture patterns of the specimens at high strain rates are described and discussed as well. Results indicate that the CEB-FIP equation is applicable to the plain high strength concrete, but overestimates the DIF of the FRHSC at strain rates beyond a transition strain rate of 30 s-1. Based on the experimental results, a modified equation on DIF is proposed for the FRHSC.

The present paper is concerned with constitutive modeling of the compressive stress-strain behavior of selected polymers at strain rates from 10-3 to 103/s using a modified Ramberg-Osgood equation. High strain-rate compressive stress-strain curves up to strains of nearly 0.08 for four different commercially available extruded polymers were determined on the standard split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB). The low and intermediate strain-rate compressive stress-strain relations were measured in an Instron testing machine. Six parameters in the modified Ramberg-Osgood equation were determined by fitting to the experimental stress-strain data using a least-squares fit. It was shown that the monotonic compressive stress-strain behavior over a wide range of strain rates can successfully be described by the modified Ramberg-Osgood constitutive model. The limitations of the model were discussed.

High strain rate material properties and constitutive equations are essential for the development of numerical and physical models to assess the performance of soft materials subject to high rate deformation, with potential applications including protective equipment and vehicle crashworthiness. However, these properties are not available for many soft tissues. This is because specialized testing methods must be employed to obtain the necessary data. Fresh bovine tissue from the semimembranosis muscle was obtained and tested using a polymeric Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar. Samples were tested from 1.4 to 200 hours post mortem to observe the effect of rigor and other possible temporal effects on the material properties. Since this muscle had relatively uniform fiber orientation, it was possible to obtain specimens with fiber directions parallel, perpendicular, and at 45 degrees to the compression axis. The stress-strain curves for the muscle were concave upwards, as is typical of soft tissues at high strain rates. Fiber orientation was determined to have negligible effect at the tested strain rates. The testing revealed that the stiffness of the tissue increased with post mortem time until approximately 6 hours. At times greater than 200 hours post mortem, the tissue properties were found to be very similar to the properties of fresh tissue. These findings suggest that properties of fresh tissue might be estimated using more easily obtained post-rigor tissue.

In automobile accidents, abdominal injuries are often life-threatening yet not apparent at the time of initial injury. The liver is the most commonly injured abdominal organ from this type of trauma. In contrast to current safety tests involving crash dummies, a more detailed, efficient approach to predict the risk of human injuries is computational modelling and simulations. Further, the development of accurate computational human models requires knowledge of the mechanical properties of tissues in various stress states, especially in high-impact scenarios. In this study, a polymeric split-Hopkinson pressure bar (PSHPB) was utilized to apply various high strain rates to porcine liver tissue to investigate its material behavior during high strain rate compression. Liver tissues were subjected to high strain rate impacts at 350, 550, 1000, and 1550 s−1. Tissue directional dependency was also explored by PSHPB testing along three orthogonal directions of liver at a strain rate of 350 s−1. Histology of samples from each of the three directions was performed to examine the structural properties of porcine liver. Porcine liver tissue showed an inelastic and strain rate-sensitive response at high strain rates. The liver tissue was found lacking directional dependency, which could be explained by the isotropic microstructure observed after staining and imaging. Furthermore, finite element analysis (FEA) of the PSHPB tests revealed the stress profile inside liver tissue and served as a validation of PSHPB methodology. The present findings can assist in the development of more accurate computational models of liver tissue at high-rate impact conditions allowing for understanding of subfailure and failure mechanisms.

Industry migration to lead-free solders has resulted in a proliferation of a wide variety of solder alloy compositions. The most popular amongst these are the Tin-Silver-Copper (Sn-Ag-Cu or SAC) family of alloys like SAC105, SAC305 etc. Recent studies have highlighted the detrimental effects of isothermal aging on the material properties of these alloys. SAC alloys have shown up to 50% reduction in their initial elastic modulus and ultimate tensile strength within a few months of elevated temperature aging. This phenomenon has posed a severe design challenge across the industry and remains a road-block in the migration to Pb-free. Multiple compositions with additives to SAC have been proposed to minimize the effect of aging and creep while maintaining the melting temperatures, strength and cost at par with SAC. Innolot is a newly developed high-temperature, high-performance lead-free substitute by InnoRel™ targeting the automotive electronics segment. Innolot contains Nickel (Ni), Antimony (Sb) and Bismuth (Bi) in small proportions in addition to Sn, Ag and Cu. The alloy has demonstrated enhanced reliability under thermal cycling as compared to SAC alloys. In this paper, the high strain rate material properties of Innolot have been evaluated as the alloy ages at an elevated temperature of 50°C. The strain rates chosen are in the range of 1–100 per-second which are typical at second level interconnects subjected to drop-shock environments. The strain rates and elevated aging temperature have been chosen also to correspond to prior tests conducted on SAC105 and SAC305 alloys at this research center. This paper presents a comparison of material properties and their degradation in the three alloys — SAC105, SAC305 and Innolot. Full field strain measurements have been accomplished with the use of high speed imaging in conjunction with Digital Image Correlation (DIC). Ramberg-Osgood non-linear model parameters have been determined to curve-fit through the experimental data. The parameters have been implemented in Abaqus FE model to obtain full-field stresses which correlates with contours obtained experimentally by DIC.
