[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0024] As Figures 1-5 shown in the first embodiment: a square stress wave loading electromagnetic Hopkinson rod system, comprising an electromagnetic force generating system 1, the electromagnetic force generating system 1 is connected with a force transmission shaft 2, the electromagnetic force generating system 1 is connected with an energy absorption device away from the force transmission shaft 2 end; the force transmission shaft 2 is connected with a stress wave control system on the other side, the stress wave control system comprises a force transmission cylinder 3, a wave shaping structure 8, an incident rod protrusion 9, one side of the force transmission cylinder 3 is threadedly connected with the force transmission shaft 2, the other side of the force transmission cylinder 3 is connected with an incident rod 4, the surface of the incident rod 4 is installed with a strain gauge 5, the other side of the incident rod 4 is installed with a transmission rod 7 away from the force transmission cylinder 3 end, the inside of the force transmission cylinder 3 is installed with the wave shaping structure 8, the incident rod protrusion 9 is threadedly connected with the incident rod 4, the adjacent ends of the incident rod 4 and the transmission rod 7 are installed with a sample 6;

[0025] The force transmission cylinder 3 is provided with an opening in the center for the incident rod 4 to pass through, and the force transmission cylinder 3 is provided with threads near the force transmission shaft 2 end; the wave shaping structure 8 is located between the force transmission cylinder 3 and the incident rod protrusion 9, and the force transmission cylinder 3 and the incident rod protrusion 9 clamp the wave shaping structure 8; the selection criteria of the wave shaping structure 8: the stress-strain curve shows ideal elastic-plasticity, weak strain hardening ability and weak strain rate effect; typical materials of the wave shaping structure 8: aluminum foam, metal honeycomb, and some aluminum alloys;

[0026] Size calculation of shaping material: ignoring the elastic deformation of the material, the strength thereof is σ s , the cross-sectional area of the waveguide rod is A b , the required stress wave platform strength is σ b , the cross-sectional area of the shaping material is A s , and then the following should be met:

[0027]

[0028] According to the strength of the shaping material, the required cross-sectional area A s can be calculated. Of course, the selection range of A s also needs to be met, and appropriate materials are selected, such as the obtained A sIf the size is too large, a higher strength plastic material needs to be selected.

[0029] In addition, the thickness of the plastic material is designed according to the following principle: the energy exceeding the required stress platform needs to be absorbed by the plastic material during the entire stress pulse time, and the stress generated in the process meets the fluctuation range of the platform stress. For example, aluminum foam and honeycomb absorb excess energy during deformation, but if the energy is too large, they will be compacted, resulting in a significant increase in stress and loss of plastic ability; therefore, a plastic material with sufficient thickness is required to ensure that it is not compacted. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0030]

[0031] Where ε is the cutoff strain of the plastic material to maintain the lateral stress state, i.e. beyond this strain, the strength of the plastic material changes more than the fluctuation range required by the stress platform. d is the initial stress intensity σ I generated by the electromagnetic generator in the rod, and the platform stress σ b is related, and the calculation method is as follows:

[0032] According to the stress wave propagation principle, the compression speed of the plastic material is approximately:

[0033]

[0034] ρc0 is the wave impedance of the rod, which is the product of the density of the rod and the longitudinal wave speed.

[0035] The integral can obtain the compression thickness of the plastic material:

[0036]

[0037] That is, twice the difference between the stress wave in the unshaped rod and the stress wave after shaping around the time axis, divided by the wave impedance. The stress wave generation end in the electromagnetic force generation system 1 is close to the inside of the force transmission shaft 2, and the wave shaping structure 8 is made of an approximately ideal elastic-plastic material or structure, such as honeycomb, foam, etc. ; Because the plastic section of the wave shaping structure 8 is a platform on the stress-strain curve, the force transmitted through the wave shaping system is approximately constant;

[0038] As shown in the second embodiment shown in Figures 1-3 , the main difference from the first embodiment is:

[0039] The anvil head is conical frustum in shape and is threadedly connected to the force transmission shaft 2 near the left side of the electromagnetic force generating system 1. The support frames are installed on the outer sides of the incident rod 4 and the transmission rod 7, and the installation grooves are arranged on the lower edges of the support frames. The auxiliary support frames are installed on the outer sides of the electromagnetic force generating system 1 and the force transmission cylinder 3. One end of the force transmission cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the force transmission shaft 2 by screwing, and the other end is provided with a hole in the center of the end face so that the incident rod 4 can pass through the hole. This arrangement facilitates the user to disassemble and replace the force transmission shaft 2, the force transmission cylinder 3, the incident rod 4, the wave shaping structure 8 and the incident rod protrusion 9, and improves the adaptability and precision of the system.

[0040] Meanwhile, the contents not described in detail in the specification are all the prior art known to those skilled in the art, and the model parameters of the various appliances are not specifically limited, and conventional equipment can be used.

[0041] In use, the stress wave generated by the electromagnetic force generating system 1 is transmitted to the incident rod 4 through the force transmission shaft 2, the force transmission cylinder 3, the wave shaping structure 8 and the incident rod protrusion 9, and the strain gauge 5 loads the sample 6. Since the wave shaping structure 8 is a structure similar to an ideal elastic-plastic material or a structure similar to a material such as honeycomb or foam, the plastic shaping section of the stress-strain curve is flat, so that the force transmitted through the wave shaping system is approximately constant, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling the output desired wave shape.
