Effect of Cross Section Size on Ductility and Fragmentation of Copper Ring at High Strain Rate Loading Conditions

Abstract:

In the present work, different copper ring samples geometries with a small aspect ratio of 0.5 or 1 were subjected to an experimental study under electromagnetic expanding ring test conditions. The experimental multiple ring tests were performed under similar loading conditions, that is, the applied maximum expansion velocities covered a range from 128 to 147 m/s (7.4 10³ s^-1) for all ring samples geometries, with the exception of rings with a cross section of 1 mm x 0.5 mm. For these rings, the averaged maximum expansion velocity was higher and equal to 195 m/s (1.2 10⁴ s^-1). The results of experimental investigations revealed a minor influence of the applied cross section sizes on ductility of copper rings, whereas its fragmentation seems to be dependent on a ring cross section area.
