Abstract: Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) experiments are carried out to study the deformation behavior of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) resin at elevated temperature and high strain rate. The temperature and strain rate considered are 293K and 343K and 8.0×102s-1, 2.7×103s-1 and 1.0×104s-1, respectively. The curves of engineering stress and strain at different temperatures and different strain rates are experimentally obtained. The effects of temperature, strain rate and the fraction of ABS on the deformation behavior of ABS resin are discussed in detail. Then, a rate and temperature dependent phenomenological constitutive law for ABS resin is developed.
