On the Development of a Release Mechanism for a Split Hopkinson Tension and Compression Bar

Split Hopkinson bars are used for the dynamic mechanical characterisation of materials under high strain rates. Many of these test benches are designed in such a way that they can either be used for compressive or tensile loading. The goal of the present work is to develop a release mechanism for an...
