Abstract
A pulse-shaped split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) was employed to determine the dynamic compressive mechanical responses and failure behaviors of a S-2 glass/SC15 composite along two perpendicular directions under valid dynamic testing conditions. The loading pulses in SHPB experiments were precisely controlled to ensure that the composite specimen deforms at a nearly constant strain rate under dynamically equilibrated stress during dynamic compression. Quasi-static experiments were conducted with an MTS and an Instron to study material rate sensitivity over a wider range. The compressive stress-strain behaviors along both directions were found to be strain-rate sensitive, but with different strain-rate sensitivities. A compressive constitutive model with strain-rate and damage effects was modified to accurately describe both quasi-static and dynamic compressive stress-strain behaviors of the composite material along the two perpendicular directions.
