Abstract. This paper is devoted to the technique for study of localized shear using hatshaped samples by the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) method. Also it is devoted to results obtained in tests with samples of copper M1 and steel 09G2S. The tests were performed using hat-shaped samples with beforehand-determined direction of forced shear. Sizes of samples were thoroughly selected in order to minimize plastic deformation of the hat-shaped part and the ring base, which are in contact with the bar ends. Results of testing of copper M1 and steel 09G2S were obtained; "shear stress-displacement" diagrams were plotted. Values of amplitudes and durations of loading pulses were determined. Also shear stresses were determined when adiabatic localized shear was formed in case of this geometry of samples.
Damage initiation and evolution, failure, and recollection processes under axisymmetric convergence were studied in the Russian-Damage experimental series, a joint effort between the Los Alamos National Laboratory and the All-Russian Institute of Experimental Physics. A helical explosive magnetic generator was used to drive a cylindrical liner shell to produce shock wave loading of a concentric cylindrical target shell. Shock wave amplitude was controlled by the liner-to-target spacing and by the magnetic field amplitude. Variation of the current pulse duration produced either a single impact, to study damage initiation through failure, or a double impact, to study failure with recollection. Both full and partial recollection of the main crack was obtained. By fielding high-precision diagnostics to measure the dynamic drive conditions and material response and by employing post-shot metallographic analysis, this project produced well-characterized experimental data across a range of damage and recollection levels for the chosen material, aluminum. We present selected experimental results to illustrate the methodology and utility of this experimental technique.
