The strain rate sensitivity of polyurea is characterized using a modified split Hopkinson
pressure bar (SHPB) system. The device is composed of a hydraulic piston along with nylon …

The strain rate dependence of plastic yield and failure properties displayed by most metals
affects energies, forces and forming limits involved in high speed forming processes. This …

This work presents an original impact testing arrangement and its applications using two
identical synchronized stress pulses to load symmetrically the specimen sandwiched …

The bulge test is mostly used to analyze equibiaxial tensile stress state at the pole of inflated
isotropic membranes. Three-dimensional digital image correlation (3D-DIC) technique …

High strain rate (HSR) forming has been found to be able to enhance the formability of sheet
metals like electro-magnetic forming. Impact hydroforming (IHF) is proposed, in which the …

Accurate measurements of the forces and velocities at the boundaries of a dynamically
loaded specimen may be obtained using split Hopkinson pressure bars (SHPB) or other …

High strain rate bulge test technique which is introduced in this paper adopts a rubber-pad
as pressure carrying medium to bulge a sheet metal at high velocity using split Hopkinson …

The realization of the high-speed biaxial tension process is vital for describing the complex
strain path, constructing forming limit diagrams, and predicting formability under dynamic …

It is impossible to obtain the forming limit curve (FLC) by full zone hydraulic forming test
under quasi-static (QS) condition since the liquid will leak from the notches of the specimen …

Abstract Knowledge of thin films mechanical properties is strongly associated to the
reliability and the performances of Nano Electro Mechanical Systems (NEMS). In the …
