The Split-Hopkinson BarTechniques, Applications and Methods\nAuthor(s): Clive Richard Siviour\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Springer International Publishing AG, Switzerland\nImprint: Springer International Publishing AG\nISBN-13: 9783031831522, 978-3031831522\nSynopsis\nThis book provides a concise practical introduction to thesplit-Hopkinson bar, by giving an overview of both the basic technique and a wide range of topics relevant to its application. The split-Hopkinsonpressurebar (SHPB) has become the key apparatus for the characterization of the mechanical response of materials at high strain rates. Systems have been used at rates from approximately 100 to 1,000,000 s-1, to test materials ranging from low modulus elastomers to high strength superalloys. The power of the system is its suitability, with appropriate practice, to be used on many materials and in conjunction with a wide range of different diagnostic systems. Each chapter provides information and guidance for practitio.
