Compact SHPB System for Intermediate and High Strain Rate Plasticity and Fracture Testing of Sheet Metal

A new set-up is proposed to perform high strain rate tension experiments on sheet metal using a compression Hopkinson bar system on the input side. With the help of a custom-made load inversion device, the compression loading pulse is converted into tensile loading of the specimen boundary. A tensil...
