Abstract

By using a new technique based on a split Hopkinson pressure bar method, a sequenced reverse test (quasi-static tensile prestress, followed by dynamic compression and then followed by dynamic tension) at high strain rate was performed and tension-compression stress-strain relations were derived by using one-dimensional stress wave analysis. Three materials, 2017 aluminium alloy, 0.45% carbon steel, and pure aluminium, were investigated at low and high strain rates, and the strain rate effect on the reverse loading stress-strain curves was compared to that on the loading stress-strain curves. It was found that reduction of yield stress is always associated with load reversals, and the strain rate effect on the reverse loading (tension) is almost the same as that during loading (compression) at higher values of reverse deformation.
