Funded Activity Summary

Split Hopkinson bar facility for high strain rate testing of materials. The design of both civil structures that can survive explosions or earthquakes and automobiles that can minimize casualties during crash requires optimum understanding of material response and failure under dynamic loading. As the most commonly used technique for determining material properties under high strain rates, the proposed split Hopkinson bar facility will greatly promote the development of alloys, polymer composites, metal foams and other new advanced materials for important applications, such as in blast-resistant design and vehicle crashworthiness, and in aerospace industry.
