Abstract:Materials experiencing impact loading deform under complex three dimensional states of stress and at high strain rates. Accurately simulating impact events using finite element modeling requires material models capable of depicting the material behavior under these same conditions. In order to create accurate material models, this material behavior must first be determined experimentally. It is of particular interest to determine the equivalent plastic fracture strain at stress states consisting of in-plane biaxial tension and out-of-plane compression, and the plastic stress strain response at strain rates on the order of 104 s-1. Both of these conditions are found during impact loading, and are outside the scope of current testing techniques. A new test technique is used to investigate Aluminum 2024, Titanium 6Al-4V, and Inconel 718 under in-plane biaxial tension and out-of-plane compression. The test consists of a small spherical or elliptical punch that is advanced into a thin specimen plate to induce inplane biaxial tension on the back surface of the specimen. A second plate of an appropriate material is placed against the back surface of the specimen plate during loading in order to create out-of-plane compression. The equivalent plastic fracture strain at these stress states is determined from the experimental data and simulations using the commercial finite element software LSDYNA. The same materials mentioned above are also tested using a modified, direct impact split-Hopkinson bar testing technique to induce strain rates greater than 104 s-1. For these tests, a small cylindrical specimen is placed in contact with the end of a larger cylindrical bar. The specimen is then impacted with a free flying cylindrical projectile to compress the specimen at a high rate of deformation. The stress-strain response of the material at these high strain rates is then investigated from the experimental data and in conjunction with LS-DYNA finite element simulations.
