Dynamic fracturing of anisotropic granite was investigated by SHPB (Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar). Energy absorption during the test and maximum stress were increased as strain rate increased. Maximum stresses in every direction were dependent on the strain rate but not so sensitive to anisotropy. Elastic wave velocity was decreased as strain rate increased and dependent on strain rate in every direction. Especially, elastic wave velocity decreased more rapidly in a strong rock.

One of the preferred methods that can be used to verify the results of finite element analysis is to measure surface strains of the deformed part for purpose of direct comparison with simulation results. Instead of using the usual manual method the vision-based measurement method is capable of determining surface geometry and strain from the deformed grid pattern automatically with the help of a computer. To obtain strain distribution over an area, the coordinates of such a surface grid are determined from the multiple video images by applying the photogrammetry principle. Methods to improve the overall accuracy of the vision-based strain measurement system are explored and the possible accuracies that can be attained by such a measurement method are discussed. A major emphasis is placed on the initial grid application method its accuracy and ease of subsequent image processing. Finite element analyses of limiting dome height(LDH) test are carried out and the results of them are compared with exsperimen-tal data.

In this paper the stress-strain curves of bearing steels at hot working conditions are obtained by compression test with a computer controlled servo-hydraulic Gleeble 3800 testing machine and elongations and reductions of area of the bearing steels are obtained by tensile test with a computer controlled servo-hydraulic Gleeble 1500 testing machine. These tests have been focused to obtain the flow stress data and optimal hot forging conditions under various conditions of strain rates and temperatures. The strain rate sensitivity exponent and reduction of area of the materials are evaluated. Experimental results are resented for various conditions of temperatures and strain rates.

Hopkinson bar dynamic test under strain rates ranging from 2000 $s^{-1}$ to 8000 $s^{-1}$ at room temperature revealed that the flow stress of tungsten heavy alloys depended strongly on the strain, strain rate, and the content of molybdenum. The variation of flow stress was caused by the competition between work hardening and heat softening in the materials at different strain rates. The high temperature strength of the matrix phase was increased by the addition of molybdenum, which enhanced the strength of the tungsten heavy alloys in high strain rate test.

The characteristics of constitutive equations, for hydrocodes, were Investigated by the comparison between the smoothed particle hydrodynamcis simulation and the experiment of rod impact test which resulted in a deformation history of impacting front where high strain and high strain rate dominate. The constitutive equations used in the simulation Is J-C(Johnson-Cook) model, Z-A(Zerilli-Armstrong) model, and S-C-G(Steinberg-Cochran-Guinan) model. The modification of Z-A model, based on the increased effect of strain-rate hardening, showed better correlation with expriment.

The key parameter that affects the consolidation process of soil is the coefficient of permeability. The common assumption in the consolidation analysis is that the coefficient of permeability is porosity-dependent. However, various authors suggest that the strain-dependency of the coefficient of permeability should also be taken into account. In this paper, we present results of experimental and numerical analyses, with an aim to determine the strain-dependency of the coefficient of permeability. We present in detail both the experimental procedure and the finite element formulation of the two-dimensional axisymmetric numerical model of the oedometer test (standard and modified). We perform a set of experimental standard and modified oedometer tests. We use these experimental results to validate our numerical model and to define the model input parameter. Finally, by combining the experimental and numerical results, we propose the expression for the strain-dependent coefficient of permeability.

This paper proposes strain-based failure model of A533B1 pressure vessel steel to simulate failure, followed by application to OECD lower head failure (OLHF) test simulation for experimental validation. The proposed strain-based failure model uses simple constant and linear functions based on physical failure modes with the critical strain value determined either using the lower bound of true fracture strain or using the average value of total elongation depending on the temperature. Application to OECD Lower Head Failure (OLHF) tests shows that progressive deformation, failure time and failure location can be well predicted.

A digital image correlation(DIC) method is a whole-field measurement technique that acquires surface displacements and strains from images information which characterized a random speckle as intensity grey levels. Recently years, this DIC method is being developed and used increasingly in various research. In this study, we tried to apply to aluminum alloy(Al 6061-T6) using DIC method and strain gauge. DIC results demonstrated the usefulness and ability to determine a strain. The test specimen used in this study was an aluminum alloy(Al 6061-T6, thickness 1 mm). For a strain measurement, a strain gauge was attached at the center of a specimen. A specimen was lightly sprayed with a white paint and a black dot pattern was sprayed on its fully dried white surface to obtain a random speckle. The experimental apparatus used to perform the tensile test consisted of universal dynamic tester(5 kN; T.O. Co.) under displacement speed of 0.5, 1.0 and 3.0 mm/min. A Model 5100 B Scanner(V. Co.) used to obtain a strain. A CCD camera connected to a PC uses to record the images of the specimen surface. After acquisition, the images were transferred to PC where the DIC software was implemented. An acquired image was evaluated by the DIC program. DIC method for displacement and strain was suggests and it results show a good consistent remarkably. DIC results demonstrated the usefulness and ability to determine surface strain was better than by using classical measurements. The strain field measurement using a DIC is so useful that it can be applied to map strain distributions at a full area. DIC method can evaluate a strain change so it can predict a location of fracture. The findings of the investigation suggest that the DIC method is an efficient and reliable tool for full-field monitoring and detailed damage characterization of materials.

High strain rate tensile tests were performed to measure the strain rate sensitivity of fiber reinforced composite material. The composite material was developed for the light weight design of an automotive FEM(front end module) carrier. Standard specimens for quasi-static tests of fiber reinforced composites can be found in ASTM D3039. However, in case of high strain rate tests, it was hard to find standard specimen shapes. In this study, three kinds of tensile specimens designed based on ASTM D638 were investigated to determined the adequate gauge width of tensile specimen for fiber reinforced composite. A drop tower type of high speed tensile apparatus was developed for strain rates of about 15/s and 100/s. Gauge width of 6mm, 8mm and 10mm were investigated. Test results showed the specimen of 8mm width was adequate for the high strain rate tensile tests of fiber reinforced composite. It was found the strength of the composite material increased as the strain rate increased.

This paper is concerned with the material properties of functional high explosive(FHX) simulant at various strain rates ranging from $10^{-4}/sec$ to $10^1/sec$. Material properties of FHX at high strain rates are important in prediction of deformation modes of FHX in a warhead which undergoes dynamic loading. Inert FHX stimulant which has analogous mechanical properties with FHX was utilized for material tests due to safety issues. Uniaxial tensile tests at quasi-static strain rates ranging from $10^{-4}/sec$ to $10^{-2}/sec$ and intermediate strain rates ranging from $10^{-1}/sec$ to $10^1/sec$ were conducted with JANNAF specimen using a tensile testing machine, INTRON 5583, and developed high speed material testing machine, respectively. Uniaxial compressive tests at quasi-static strain rates and intermediate strain rates were conducted with cylindrical specimen using a dynamic materials testing machine, INSTRON 8801. And cyclic compressive loading tests were performed with various strain rates and strains. Deformation behaviors were investigated using captured images obtained from a high-speed camera.
