The aluminum 7075-T6 is known as an alloy widely used in aircraft structural applications, which does not exhibit strain rate sensitivity during dynamic compressive tests. Despite mechanical importance of the material, there is not enough attention to determine appropriate sample dimensions such as a sample diameter relative to the device bar diameter and sample length to diameter (L/D) ratio for dynamic tests and how these two parameters can change mechanical behaviors of the sample under dynamic loading condition. In this study, various samples which have different diameters of 31.8, 25.4, 15.9, and 9.5 mm and sample L/D ratios of 2.0, 1.5, 1.0, 0.5, and 0.25 were tested using Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB), as this testing device is proper to characterize mechanical behaviors of solid materials at high strain rates. The mechanical behavior of this alloy was examined under ${\sim}200-5,500s^{-1}$ dynamic strain rate. Aluminum samples of 2.0, 1.5 and 1.0 of L/D ratios were well fitted into the stress-strain curve, Madison and Green's diagram, regardless of the sample diameters. Also, the 0.5 and 0.25 L/D ratio samples having the diameter of 31.8 and 25.4 mm followed the stress-strain curve. As results, larger samples (31.8 and 25.4 mm) in diameters followed the stress-strain curve regardless of the L/D ratios, whereas the 0.5 and 0.25 L/D ratios of small diameter sample (15.9 and 9.5 mm) did not follow the stress-strain diagram but significantly deviate from the diagram. Our results indicate that the L/D ratio is important determinant in stress-strain responses under the SHPB test when the sample diameter is small relative to the test bar diameter (31.8 mm), but when sample diameter is close to the bar diameter, L/D ratio does not significantly affect the stress-strain responses. This suggests that the areal mismatch (non-contact area of the testing bar) between the sample and the bar can misrepresent mechanical behaviors of the aluminum 7075-T6 at the dynamic loading condition.

A dynamic fracture toughness test method with a chevron notched ceramic specimens is proposed. The notch angles of the chevron specimens were 90, 100$^{\circ}$and 110$^{\circ}$. Finite element analysis(FEA) were done to determine the geometrical properties of chevron-notch specimens according to notch angles. The static fracture toughness of the chevron notched alumina specimen was 3.8MP$\alpha$√m similar to that of the general fracture specimen with a precrack. Dynamic fracture toughness was 4.5 MP$\alpha$√m slightly higher than the static one. These research showed the possibility of the split Hopkinson pressure bar test method using the newly proposed chevron notched specimens to get the dynamic fracture toughness of extremely brittle materials such as ceramics.

INCONEL 718, nickel based superalloy, has good formability, high strength, excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties at high temperature. Owing to theses attractive properties, it is utilized in applications such as combustion system, turbine engines and nuclear reactors. In such applications, components are typically required to be tolerant of high stress impact loading. This may cause material degradation and lead to catastrophic failure during service operation. Accurate understanding of material's mechanical properties with various strain rates is required in order to guarantee the reliability of structural parts made of INCONEL 718. This paper is concerned with the dynamic material properties of the INCONEL 718 at various strain rates. The dynamic response of the INCONEL 718 at the intermediate strain rate is obtained from the high speed tensile test and at the high strain rate is from the split Hopkinson pressure bar test. The effect of the strain rate on dynamic flow stress, work hardening characteristics, strain rate sensitivity and elongation to the failure is evaluated with the experimental results. Experimental results from both the quasi-static and the high strain rate up to 5000/sec are interpolated in order to construct the Johnson-Cook model as the constitutive relation that should be applied to simulate and design the structural parts made of rNCONEL 718.

The present study focuses on the performance of basalt fiber reinforced concrete (BFRC) lining in tunnel situated in sandstone rock when subjected to internal blast loading. The blast analysis of the lined tunnel is carried out using the three-dimensional (3-D) nonlinear finite element (FE) method. The stress-strain response of the sandstone rock is simulated using a crushable plasticity model which can simulate the brittle behavior of rock and that of BFRC lining is analyzed using a damaged plasticity model for concrete capturing damage response. The strain rate dependent material properties of BFRC are collected from the literature and that of rock are taken from the authors' previous work using split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB). The constitutive model performance is validated through the FE simulation of SHPB test and the comparison of simulation results with the experimental data. Further, blast loading in the tunnel is simulated for 10 kg and 50 kg Trinitrotoluene (TNT) charge weights using the equivalent pressure-time curves obtained through hydrocode simulations. The analysis results are studied for the stress and displacement response of rock and tunnel lining. Blast performance of BFRC lining is compared with that of plain concrete (PC) and steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) lining materials. It is observed that the BFRC lining exhibits almost 65% lesser displacement as compared to PC and 30% lesser displacement as compared to SFRC tunnel linings.

The response of concrete to transient dynamic loading has received extensive attention for both civil and military applications. Accordingly, thoroughly understanding the response and failure modes of concrete subjected to impact or explosive loading is vital to the protection provided by fortifications. Reactive powder concrete (RPC), as developed by Richard and Cheyrezy (1995) in recent years, is a unique mixture that is cured such that it has an ultra-high compressive strength. In this work, the concrete cylinders with different steel fiber volume fractions were subjected to repeated impact loading by a split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) device. Experimental results indicate that the ability of repeated impact resistance of ultra-high-strength concrete was markedly superior to that of other specimens. Additionally, the rate of damage was decelerated and the energy absorption of ultra-high-strength concrete improved as the steel fiber volume fraction increased.

Polypropylene(PP) foams are widely used as protective materials such as automotive bumper and safety helmet, but whose dynamic behaviour are not well defined. In this paper, the compression tests by Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar were conducted to obtain the stress-strain curve and to investigate the effect of density on the absorption of impact energy in the PP foams. Three kinds of foams were chosen depending upon the density. The result of the experiment has revealed that the stiffness of the low-density PP foam is remarkably increased at high strain rate compared with that of the high-density PP foam. And it is also shown that the absorption of impact energy are greatly influenced by the density of PP foam. These results are expected to be utilized for the development of a protective structure with polymer foams.

Vacuum interrupters in order to be used in various switch-gear components such as circuit breakers, distribution switches, contactors, etc. spread the arc uniformly over the surface of the contacts. The electrodes of vacuum interrupters are made of sinter-forged Cu-Cr materials for good electrical and mechanical characteristics. Since the closing velocity is 1-2m/s and impact deformation of the electrode depends on the strain rate at that velocity, the dynamic behavior of the sinter-forged Cu-Cr is a key to investigate the impact characteristics of the electrodes. The dynamic response of the material at intermediate strain rate is obtained from the high speed tensile test machine test and at the high strain rate is obtained from the split Hopkinson pressure bar test. Experimental results from both quasi-static and dynamic compressive tests are interpolated to construct the Johnson-Cook model as the constitutive relation that should be applied to simulation of the dynamic behavior of the electrodes. The impact characteristics of a vacuum interrupter are investigated with computer simulations by changing the amount of chromium content.

충돌 또는 폭발 하중 하의 콘크리트는 정적 하중에서 가지는 재료물성과 다른 거동을 보이게 된다. 즉, 고변형율 하의 콘크리트의 재료물성은 크게 변화하게 되며, 이를 시험평가하기 위한 방법 중 압축강도와 관련된 시험법으로는 SHPB(Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar) Test가 있다. 그러나, SHPB Test는 금속과 같은 인성재료를 위해 개발된 시험방법으로서 취성재료인 콘크리트에 적용이 가능한지에 대한 검토가 추가적으로 필요하며, UHPC와 같은 섬유보강 초고성능 콘크리트에 대한 연구는 미미한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 콘크리트 시험체를 위해 제작된 SHPB Test 장비를 사용하여 일반 콘크리트 및 UHPC 시험체에 대한 시험평가를 수행하였으며, SHPB Test의 적용 적정성을 파악하기 위하여 초고속카메라를 활용한 변위영상 분석을 통한 검증을 수행하였다.

구조부재는 정적, 동적 또는 충격과 같은 다양한 하중의 영향을 받고 있다. 결과적으로 이와 같은 하중의 영향이 고려된 재료의 물성치를 획득하기 위해 각 조건에 적합한 실험적 또는 해석적 방법이 수반되어야 한다. 일반적으로 고변형률 속도에서 재료의 기계적 물성을 얻는 방법으로써 홉킨슨 압력봉 시험법(SHPB)이 널리 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 SHPB 시험을 통해 충격 하중 조건에서 알루미늄 합금의 압축변형거동을 고찰하였으며, 실험결과와 해석결과를 비교, 분석하였다. 결론적으로 1000 ~ 2000 $s^{-1}$ 영역에서 진응력-진변형률 곡선을 비교하였을 때 실험 결과와 해석 결과가 잘 일치함을 알 수 있었다. 특히, 변형률 속도가 30% 증가함에 따라 최대유동응력은 17%증가, 변형률은 20% 증가함을 확인하였다.
