Investigating the Dynamic Compressive and Tensile Properties of Polymer Binder Explosive Based on the Split-Hopkinson Bar Technique

Abstract:

Split Hopkinson bar technique was often used to measure the dynamic mechanical properties of engineering materials. In this paper, the dynamic tensile and compression mechanical properties of polymer explosive bonded (PBX) under different strain rates were obtained by using split Hopkinson pressure/tension bar. The thickness of the specimen and the shape of the incident wave are designed to ensure the rationality of the experimental results. By comparing the experimental results, it was found that the PBX had different dynamic tensile and compression properties. The PBXs have been tested and shown tensile and compressive strengths ratios that range between 5 and 7. A constitutive relation is developed for modeling the dynamic mechanical response of PBX-I by using the Boltzmann superposition principle with a Prony series representation. The parameters of the PBX-I were fitted by using least square method. A finite element model was used to simulate the dynamic compressive and tensile behavior of PBX-I, and the numerical simulation results were in good agreement with the experimental results, which proved that the linear viscoelastic constitutive relation can be applied to the PBX-I.
