The Effect of Stress Wave on Dynamic Response of Square Thin-Walled Tube

Abstract:

The effect of stress wave propagation on dynamic response of square tube was investigated by the experimental and numerical simulation methods in the present paper. The square tubes were subjected to the axial impact by split Hopkinson pressure bar. And the deformation process of each square tube was recorded by a high speed camera. Typical dynamic plastic buckling phenomena were observed in the experiments. And the numerical calculation of the experimental load case was conducted to analyze the effect of the stress wave propagation on the initial buckling of the square tube. The results show that there is obvious stress wave propagation in the square tube before the buckling of the square tube. And the initial buckling starts from the rear end of the tube due to the propagation of the stress wave. The relation between the stress wave propagation and initial buckling of the square tube was also discussed.
