应力平衡和接触状态在Hopkinson杆测试聚合物动态弹性模量中的影响研究

针对用Hopkinson杆试验能否准确测量聚合物动态弹性模量以及其中主要影响因素的问题,本文基于重构试样初始加载阶段的应力波反射透射过程,分别计算了6个特征时间内的前三次反射波和透射波,得到试样的应力平衡度和试样的应力应变曲线。对于所研究的聚合物材料,通过比较重构的应力应变曲线的弹性模量与输入的材料弹性模量,发现在4个特征时间后,误差仅在3%左右。因此试样变形过程中的应力平衡与否不是材料在Hopkinson杆试验中弹性模量测不准的原因。通过环氧树脂试样试验发现,根据Hopkinson杆理论计算的应变结果要大于试样上应变片实测的结果,误差在11%左右。相应的数值模拟研究发现:试样和杆子端面接触状态直接决定着试样弹性模量测量的精度。关于惯性效应和压痕效应的研究也证实它们的影响是可以忽略的。     

高温高应变率下材料拉伸性能测试的一种新方法

为了实现高温环境下材料高应变率动态拉伸实验技术,将分离式Hopkinson杆直接拉伸装置中试样与拉杆的螺纹连接形式变成楔形连接形式,并加装了气动同步装置系统。这样,在对试样加高温时,能使靠近试样的入射和透射杆端处于较低温度。当撞击管向传递法兰运动时,气动同步装置瞬间拖动透射杆和试样,使两者之间的间隙为零,此时沿入射杆传递的入射波同时对试样拉伸加载。经实验验证,此方法可以有效实现材料高温高应变率拉伸加载。     

浇铸类炸药应力应变曲线的SHPB测量

浇铸类炸药由于质地软、波阻抗及波速都很低,通过传统SHPB实验方法无法得到准确的应力应变数据。透射杆信号幅值过低、试样应力平衡均匀性不高以及大应变加载引起的入射波反射波重叠失效,是进行浇铸类炸药SHPB实验的难点所在。本文中对传统SHPB实验方法进行改进,在试样两端面加装石英晶体应力计,引入石英计所获得的应力数据与应变片测得数据共同对试样应力应变状态进行计算。该方法可以提高透射信号幅值,提供试样大应变加载,避免了入射波反射波重叠导致的信号失效问题,修正了SHPB实验过程中的应力时空不均匀性的影响,提高了实验结果的可靠性。利用改进后的实验方法对典型浇铸类炸药进行了实验研究,得到了较准确的应力应变曲线。     

确定材料在高温高应变率下动态性能的 Hopkinson杆系统

描述了一种利用Hopkinson杆装置确定在高温（温度可高达1 173 K）、高应变率下材料动态性能的试验方法。在试样加温过程中,试样不与入射杆及透射杆接触。当试样加热到预定温度时,气压驱动同步组装系统,推动透射杆及试样,使得应力波到达入射杆与试样接触面时,入射杆、试样及透射杆紧密接触。利用以上系统,完成了连铸单晶铜及上引法连铸多晶铜从室温到1 085 K范围内的应力应变曲线。测试结果表明,不论是上引法连铸多晶铜还是连铸单晶铜,流动应力随温度的升高而下降,在温度低于585 K时,材料的应变硬化率明显大于在温度高于585 K时的应变硬化率。     

高温分离式Hopkinson压杆技术及其应用

本文介绍了在分离式Hopkinson压杆装置上通过使用一种气动同步机构,实现对试样进行高温高应变率加载的技术。利用此技术仅对试样加高温度而保持入射杆和透射杆与试样脱离且处在较低温度,到预定温度时,借助气动同步机构使入射杆、透射杆与试样接触并同时实现对试样加载。利用波形抑制技术,仅对试样实现一次加载,入射杆中的后续二次加载波通过反作用质量块吸收。通过这些技术的结合,1)可以进行材料在高温高应变率下应力应变测试;2)可以测试材料在高应变率不同温度下的等温曲线;3)可以间接对材料的塑性功热转换系数进行测试;4)可以进行不同温度高应变率下的中断跳跃试验等。在文中给出了一些典型的试验曲线和结果,并对测试方法和结果进行了分析讨论。     

PMMA动态拉伸破坏实验研究

本文利用Hopkinson压杆系统对PMMA变截面柱锥试样进行冲击加载,研究材料动态拉伸断裂特性和破坏机理.由于PMMA的拉压强度差别不大,采用圆柱状试件难以产生反射拉伸破坏,因此,将试样设计为圆柱锥状,实验时,将试样的圆柱端粘贴于输入杆上.实验结果表明,在一定的撞击速度下,由于应力波的汇聚作用,在试样锥段产生了反射拉伸破坏;当撞击速度较高时,在产生反射拉伸破坏的同时,试件中还产生了银纹区,随着打击速度的提高,银纹区域增大.同时根据断口的SEM观察,研究了材料的破坏机制.

基于激光干涉测试技术的分离式Hopkinson压杆实验测试系统

分离式Hopkinson压杆（SHPB）实验的传统测试技术是基于应变片的电测技术,测试结果的可靠性强烈依赖于应变片与杆之间粘贴质量,受到人为因素的影响较大。本文中采用基于多普勒频移原理的双探头全光纤激光干涉测速技术,以粒子速度为监测目标,借助应力波传播理论,换算成试件的应变和应力,从而建立了SHPB实验的非接触光学测试系统。针对韧性和脆性两类材料,分别提出了激光正入射和激光斜入射两种测试技术。再以铝合金和PZT陶瓷为例,通过与传统的应变片测试结果以及DIC测量结果的对比分析,验证了两种测试技术的有效性。与传统的应变片测试技术相比,新的激光干涉测试技术具有免标定、抗干扰、可靠性高等许多优点,有助于实现SHPB实验测试系统标准化。

基于超高速相机和数字图像相关性全场应变分析方法对传统的分离式Hopkinson拉杆(SHTB)实验系统进行改进,获得尼龙和铝合金材料的动态拉伸应力应变曲线,验证了数字图像相关性全场应变分析在SHTB实验中的有效性。实验结果显示:该方法测量的平均应变与应变片测量结果一致性很好, 而传统的SHTB实验原理计算的应变结果则明显偏大,需要对试件原始标距进行修正后才能获得有效的试件应变,并且在试件的材料和几何尺寸不变的条件下标距修正不依赖于应变率。基于数字图像相关性全场应变测量,讨论了应变均匀性问题:脆性的尼龙试件在标距范围内应变均匀性良好,而韧性的铝合金试件表现出比较严重的应变不均匀性,归因于颈缩变形的影响。     

Flattened Brazilian Disc Method for Determining the Dynamic Tensile Stress-Strain Curve of Low Strength Brittle Solids

An indirect tensile testing method is proposed to measure the full dynamic tensile stress-strain curve of low strength brittle solids. In this method, the flattened-Brazilian disc (FBD) sample is loaded by modified split Hopkinson pressure bars (SHPB) system. Low amplitude dynamic forces were measured with a pair of piezoelectric force transducers embedded in the incident bar and the transmitted bar. The evolution of tensile stress at the center of the disc sample was determined through finite element analyses using the measured stress in SHPB as inputs. In a traditional Brazilian test, a strain gauge is mounted at the center of the specimen to measure the tensile strain, which is difficult to apply for low strength brittle materials. Thus, two types of non-contact methods, the Digital Image Correlation (DIC) technique and the Laser Gap Gauge (LGG), were used to measure the strain. The DIC method was used to monitor the displacement and the strain map of the specimen during the test, from which the strain at the center of the specimen can be obtained. The accuracy of the DIC results was assessed, and the displacement and strain uncertainties of our system were 0.003 mm and 0.003, respectively. LGG was used to monitor the expansion of the disc perpendicular to the loading axis, from which the average tensile strain is deduced. The numerical simulation revealed that the tensile strain at the center of the specimen is proportional to the average tensile strain and that the ratio is not sensitive to the material elastic parameters. The strain measured through LGG was compared with that measured by the DIC method using photos captured with a synchronized high-speed camera. The result of the LGG method was 20 % smaller than that of the DIC process. However, the latter was limited by the number of frames of the high-speed camera. The feasibility of this methodology was demonstrated using a polymer-bonded explosive (PBX).     

PVDF应力测量技术及在混凝土冲击实验中的应用

介绍了使用PVDF(polyvinylidene fluoride,聚偏二氟乙烯)应力计的应力直接测量技术。在SHPB装置上进行自制PVDF应力计动态压电系数的标定实验,分析了应力集中、横向泊松效应、摩擦效应对PVDF应力计信号及动态压电系数的影响。用PVDF应力计进行了混凝土的冲击压缩实验。利用混凝土前后端面PVDF应力计信号分析了实验过程中混凝土试样的应力均匀性。与应变计直测应变技术相结合得到了混凝土的动态应力-应变关系。     

三点弯曲试样动态应力强度因子计算研究

利用Hopkinson压杆对三点弯曲试样进行冲击加载,采集了垂直裂纹面距裂尖2mm和与裂纹面成60°距裂尖5mm处的应变信号。根据裂尖附近测试的应变信号计算试样的动态应力强度因子,并与有限元计算结果进行比较,结果表明由于裂尖有一段疲劳裂纹区,通过裂尖附近应变信号来计算动态应力强度因子时,如果裂尖位置确定不准及粘贴应变片位置不够准确对计算结果将带来很大影响。因此利用应变片法计算动态应力强度因子时,为了获得更准确的计算结果,在实验后应对试件裂纹面进行分析测量,重新确定裂尖位置,必要时需对应变片至裂尖距离进行修正后再计算动态应力强度因子值。     

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。     

Limiting conditions for compression testing of flat specimens in the split hopkinson pressure bar

The split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) technique is analyzed during the initial stages of loading by means of axisymmetric finite element simulations of dynamic compression tests. Limiting strains as functions of the test parameters such as the specimen diameterd and heighth were found to ensure a one-dimensional stress state and axial stress homogeneity in specimens of elastic-perfectly plastic material. The one-dimensional stress state is necessary and sufficient for accurate test results for flat specimens (h/d≤0.5) and nonflat specimens, respectively, with diameters up to half of the bar diameter. Only very small values of the Coulomb friction constraint (μ≈0.01) seem to be acceptable. The significance of the determined limiting conditions to the more practical case of a rate dependent material is investigated using an elastic-viscoplastic material for the specimen. The stress and strain rate reconstructed from the calculated bar signals (according to the SHPB analysis) are compared with stresses and strain rates averaged over the cross section of the specimen. Well-known inertia corrections improve the results of the SHPB procedure, but errors remain for small strains and highly time dependent strain rates.     

Modified Kolsky Formulas for an Increased Measurement Duration of SHPB Systems

The so-called incident, reflected and transmitted strain histories are typically recorded during standard Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) experiments. Subsequently, the stress-strain curve for the specimen material is determined based on these recordings. Unless wave deconvolution techniques are employed, the reliable measurement of the reflected wave requires an input bar which is at least twice as long as the striker bar (of equal impedance). The present brief technical note elucidates the advantages of a simple alternative configuration which has only been seldom used in the past. Based on the assumption of quasi-static equilibrium at the specimen level, we present a modification of Kolsky’s formulas such that the stress-strain curve for the specimen material can be obtained from the measurement of the incident and transmitted strain histories only. As a result, the measurement of the reflected wave may be omitted and a much shorter input bar can be chosen. Conversely, a much longer striker bar may be used for a given input bar length, thereby increasing the valid duration of standard SHPB experiments by up to 100 % through the use of the modified Kolky formulas. An example experiment is shown where the duration of valid measurements has been increased by more than 70 %.     

A study of localisation in dual-phase high-strength steels under dynamic loading using digital image correlation and FE analysis

Tensile tests were conducted on dual-phase high-strength steel in a Split-Hopkinson Tension Bar at a strain-rate in the range of 150–600/s and in a servo-hydraulic testing machine at a strain-rate between 10^?3 and 10⁰/s. A novel specimen design was utilized for the Hopkinson bar tests of this sheet material. Digital image correlation was used together with high-speed photography to study strain localisation in the tensile specimens at high rates of strain. By using digital image correlation, it is possible to obtain in-plane displacement and strain fields during non-uniform deformation of the gauge section, and accordingly the strains associated with diffuse and localised necking may be determined. The full-field measurements in high strain-rate tests reveal that strain localisation started even before the maximum load was attained in the specimen. An elasto-viscoplastic constitutive model is used to predict the observed stress–strain behaviour and strain localisation for the dual-phase steel. Numerical simulations of dynamic tensile tests were performed using the non-linear explicit FE code LS-DYNA. Simulations were done with shell (plane stress) and brick elements. Good correlation between experiments and numerical predictions was achieved, in terms of engineering stress–strain behaviour, deformed geometry and strain fields. However, mesh density plays a role in the localisation of deformation in numerical simulations, particularly for the shell element analysis.     

波分离技术在混凝土冲击压缩试验中的应用

介绍了SHPB实验中的波分离技术基本原理,该方法利用两相距很近应变计测量信号分离重叠的入射波和反射波。由于两应变计的距离很近,在弹性杆可以忽略应力波传播的弥散。由于应变计的位置可以非常接近试样,减少了实验中因应力波弥散产生的误差。利用该方法对混凝土进行了冲击压缩实验研究,得到了混凝土的动态应力-应变关系。讨论了测量误差导致波分离技术的误差。     

Optimum Specimen Geometry for Accurate Tensile Testing of Superplastic Metallic Materials

The high temperatures and large strain limits associated with superplastic materials amplify the possibility of the tensile test outcomes being sensitive to the shape and size of the specimen geometry. In spite of that, the disparities in the specimen geometries used throughout the numerous efforts on characterising this unique class of materials are rather astonishing. There is an urge to evaluate the dependency of a superplastic tensile test on specimen geometry, before a much-needed universally-adopted standard specimen can be designed; which is the main objective of this comprehensive experimental investigation. More than 20 geometries, covering multiple variations in gauge length, gauge width, grip length and grip width values, are tested at identical conditions, and the corresponding material behaviour is compared in terms of deformation uniformity, material flow and the extracted stress/strain curves. The results reveal the influences of each geometrical parameter, as well as their combined effects, and guide the selection of an optimum specimen geometry for accurate and unified tensile testing of superplastic metallic materials.
