一种基于电磁霍普金森杆的材料动态包辛格效应测试装置及方法

金属材料在复杂载荷条件下的动态力学行为研究一直备受关注，但受限于实验设备，金属材料的动态包辛格效应响应一直都难以获得。为了探究金属材料的包辛格效应与应变率效应之间的关系，本文中提出一种基于电磁霍普金森杆(electromagnetic split Hopkinson bar，ESHB) 的非同步加载实验技术，为测试金属材料在高应变率加载下的包辛格效应提供了一种有效的实验方法。本文中，首先介绍了非同步加载装置的主要特点，即可以用两列由脉冲发生器产生的应力波对受载试样进行连续的一次动态拉-压循环加载，且加载过程保证了应力波的一致性。分析了应力波对试样加载过程中的波传播历程，确保了加载过程的连续性。随后介绍了动态加载过程，数据处理方法和波形分离手段，并对动态加载过程进行应力平衡性分析，论证了实验装置的可靠性。最后采用该方法测试了5%预应变下6061铝合金动态压缩-动态拉伸的包辛格效应，并与准静态下的实验结果进行对比。实验结果表明，该材料单轴压缩没有明显的应变率效应，但其包辛格效应具有应变率依赖性，高应变率下材料的包辛格应力影响因子由0.07增大至0.17，具有显著的提升，这对传统意义上铝合金材料应变率不敏感的结论提出了挑战。

A novel technique for determining the dynamic Bauschinger effect by electromagnetic Hopkinson bar

Dynamic mechanical behavior of metallic materials under complicated loading conditions has attracted much attention. However, it is hard to obtain the dynamic Bauschinger effect of metallic materials due to the limitation of loading equipment. In order to investigate the relationship between the Bauschinger effect and strain rate effect of metallic materials, this paper proposes an asynchronous loading technique based on electromagnetic split Hopkinson bar system, which could provide an effective way to study the Bauschinger effect of metallic materials under high strain rate loading. We first introduce the main characteristics of the asynchronous loading device, that is, the specimen can be loaded by one cycle of continuous dynamic tension-compression loading pulse in which the two separate stress waves are created by electromagnetic pulse generators and prove to maintain their consistency. The propagation of stress waves was analyzed to ensure the continuity of the loading process. Then the dynamic loading process and the methods of data processing and stress wave separation are presented. Stress equilibrium was also analyzed in order to demonstrate the reliability of the equipment. Finally, the Bauschinger effect of 6061 aluminum alloy at 5% pre-strain during the process of dynamic compression to dynamic tension loading was studied using this method, and the corresponding quasi-static tests were also conducted for comparison. It was found that the material shows less strain-rate sensitivity under axial compression loading, while its Bauschinger stress parameter increases from 0.07 in quasi-static loading to 0.17 in dynamic loading. The results indicate that the Bauschinger effect of 6061 aluminum alloys depends on the strain rate and can be significantly enhanced under dynamic loading. This conclusion presents a challenge to the traditional conception that aluminum alloys are insensitive to strain rate.
