Effect of Specimen Width on the Contact State between the Three-Point Bending Specimen and Supports in Hopkinson Bar

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effect of specimen width on the contact state between the three-point bending (TPB) specimen and supports has been investigated with the apparatus of Hopkinson pressure bar using the analysis method of the propagation of stress wave. The results indicate that, the time for loss of contact decreases linearly with the increase of specimen width when the specimen width is less than a critical value, and the relationship between the time for loss of contact and the specimen width shows a parallel line to the abscissa when the specimen width is greater than the critical value.
