Limiting Conditions for Compression Testing of Flat Specimens in the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar

A regularized model for impact in explicit dynamics applied to the split Hopkinson pressure bar
(2016)
In the numerical simulation of Impact phenomena, artificial oscillations can occur due to an instantaneous change of velocity in the contact area. In this paper, a nonlinear penalty regularization is used to avoid these oscillations. Aparticular focus is the investigation of higher order methods in space and time to increase the computational efficiency. The spatial discretization is realized by higher order spectral element methods that are characterized by a diagonal mass matrix. The time integration scheme is based on half-explicit Runge–Kutta scheme of fourth order. For the conditionally stable scheme, the critical time step is influenced by the penalty regularization. A framework is presented to adjust the penalty stiffness and the time step for a specific mesh to avoid oscillations. The methods presented in this paper are applied to 1D-simulations of a split Hopkinson pressure bar, which is commonly used for the investigation of materials under dynamic loading.
The use of high-strength steels is wide spread in vehicle and crane manufacturing due to light weight reasons. These steels are used for impact of crash loaded components and therefore it is important to investigate high-strength welds at dynamic impact. Investigations of welds at high strain rates have been rarely conducted in the past.
To determine the dynamic impact behaviour of hybrid laser-arc welds, the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) technique was used. The base material was a quenched and tempered fine-grained structural steel with yield strength of 1100 MPa. The influence of two variables, cooling time t8/5 and strength of filler material, on the impact behaviour was studied. A matching and an under matching filler material were used. The cooling time t8/5 was varied to influence the microstructure in the heat affected zone (HAZ) and to analyse the effect on hardening and softening. Hardness measurements and optical microscopy was used to analyse the weld microstructure before and after the SHPB test. The investigations showed a correlation between the overall hardness of the weld, influenced by filler material and cooling time, on the maximum stress level during dynamic impact.
