Abstract
More advanced testing methodologies and measurement techniques to identify complex deformation and failure at high strain rates have drawn increasing attention in recent years. This study presents a novel combined tension-torsion split Hopkinson bar (TTHB) system that is conceived to generate a combination of tensile and torsional waves in a single loading case and to measure material data representative of real case impact scenarios. Energy-release mechanism is employed to generate both longitudinal and shear waves practically via the quick release of a bespoke clamp assembly.
The synchronisation of the longitudinal and torsional waves, and the wave rise time, were experimentally assessed. Thin-walled tube specimens made of two metallic materials were utilised to examine the capability of the developed TTHB system. Four-ligament tension-torsion specimens were also used and the results compared to those obtained using the thin-walled tubular specimens.
The capability of the apparatus is demonstrated by the measurement of the failure envelope of standard and additively manufactured materials at high strain rates.
