Application of split Hopkinson tension bar technique to the study of dynamic fracture properties of materials
Tóm tắt
A novel approach is proposed in determining dynamic fracture toughness (DFT) of high strength steel, using the split Hopkinson tension bar (SHTB) apparatus, combined with a hybrid experimental-numerical method. The center-cracked tension specimen is connected between the bars with a specially designed fixture device. The fracture initiation time is measured by the strain gage method, and dynamic stress intensity factors (DSIF) are obtained with the aid of 3D finite element analysis (FEA). In this approach, the dimensions of the specimen are not restricted by the connection strength or the stress-state equilibrium conditions, and hence plane strain state can be attained conveniently at the crack tip. Through comparison between the obtained results and those in open publication, it is concluded that the experimental data are valid, and the method proposed here is reliable. The validity of the obtained DFT is checked with the ASTM criteria, and fracture surfaces are examined at the end of paper.
