The authors systematically describe the general principles of
Kolsky bars, or split Hopkinson bars, which are widely used for
obtaining dynamic material properties. Modifications are introduced
for obtaining reliable data. Specific experiment design guidelines
are provided to subject the specimen to desired testing
conditions.
Detailed Kolsky-bar examples are given for different classes of
materials (brittle, ductile, soft, etc) and for different loading
conditions (tension, torsion, triaxial, high/low temperatures,
intermediate strain rate, etc). The Kolsky bars used for dynamic
structural characterization are briefly introduced. A collection of
dynamic properties of various materials under various testing
conditions is included which may serve as a reference database.
This book assists both beginners and experienced professionals
in characterizing high-rate material response with high quality and
consistency. Readers who may benefit from this work include
university students, instructors, R & D professionals, and
scholars/engineers in solid mechanics, aerospace, civil and
mechanical engineering, as well as materials science and
engineering.
