Dynamic Compression Test of CFRP Laminates Using SHPB Technique

摘要

A novel experimental method was proposed for characterizing the compressive properties of composite materials under impact loading. Split Hopkinson pressure bar system was employed to carry out the dynamic compression tests. The dynamic stress-strain relations could be precisely estimated by the proposed method, where the ramped input, generated by the plastic deformation of a zinc buffer, was effective to reduce the oscillation of the stress field in the specimen. The longitudinal strain of gage area could be estimated from the nominal deformation of gage area, and consequently the failure process could be grasped in detail from the stress-strain relation. The dynamic compressive strength of the material was slightly higher than the static compressive strength. In addition, the validity of the proposed method was confirmed by the computational and experimental results.
