Abstract

The present study proposes a simple numerical simulation technique for the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) and then investigates the experimental conditions for composite materials in a tensile-loading SHPB. The following issues were investigated through experiment and numerical simulation: (i) the effects of the cross section and acoustic mismatch between the jig with a slit and screw and the input/output bars on the loading condition and (ii) the effects of the duration time of the applied load and the acoustic impedance mismatch on the stress–strain curve obtained by SHPB testing. From the numerical simulation results, the following conclusions were found: (i) the proposed jig with a slit and screw can apply an ideal one-dimensional displacement to a specimen and (ii) the material characterization of a composite material by SHPB testing might be possible by optimizing a longer duration time if the acoustic mismatch is greater.
