This paper reviews the literature on the response of polymers to high strain rate deformation.
The main focus is on the experimental techniques used to characterize this response. The …

To model a vehicle crash event using the finite element (FE) method, accurate material
properties of automotive sheet metals at high strain rates and various stress states need to …

In this work, the phenomenon of the oscillation-free force measurement in a new sample
shape, called the Generation III (Gen. III) sample in a previous work, was first physically …

Based on fundamental mechanical principles, a force measurement method for a servo-
hydraulic tensile machine at strain rates from quasi-static up to 10 3/s is proposed in this …

The determination of material properties under high-speed loading has been a challenge for
many years. Structural vibrations, or system ringing, in a conventional tensile testing …

Detailed knowledge of the dynamic viscoelastic properties of bone is required to understand
the mechanisms of macroscopic bone fracture in humans, and other terrestrial mammals …

A new “Drop-Hopkinson bar” apparatus has been successfully developed for material
tensile property characterization at intermediate strain rates. This new apparatus design …

To study the dynamic properties of intermediate strain rates for filiform or filmy materials, a
miniature tensile-test system with an intermediate strain rate based on magnetic resistance …

The requirement for resources has resulted in mining activities moving into more
challenging conditions, from conventional, gravity driven ground conditions to highly …

This paper reports experimental investigations of 3D woven carbon/epoxy composites on
quasi-static and dynamic tensile properties in the longitudinal (warp) and transverse (weft) …
