Analyzing the Effects of the Hollow Bars on Compression Experimental Setup Using Numerical Methods

Article Preview

Abstract:

For the Comprehension of the dynamic mechanical properties of the materials under the dynamic loading, Hopkinson pressure bar apparatus is used. During the compression testing of the low impedance materials the use of the hollow transmission bar is common. In the current work, the analysis is performed to analyze the effects of hollow transmission and incident bars on the specimen testing for the large diameter compression setup. Complete model of the setup is prepared using the ANSYS software and the simulation of loading is done using the LS-DYNA software. The results of analysis indicate that for the large compression testing setup, solid bars can be replaced with hollow bars. By using the hollow transmission bar the objective of high strain rate testing is also obtained.
