AI Technical Summary
In high strain rate tensile tests, the metal specimen is subjected to repeated compression-tension pulse loading due to the reflection of one-dimensional stress wave pulses, resulting in unrealistic and unreliable test results.
By placing a pulse absorbing rod and a pulse absorbing tube in the Hopkinson tensile rod device, and calculating the installation distance between the pulse absorbing rod and the input rod flange using stress wave propagation theory, it is ensured that the reflected compression pulse is completely absorbed without sacrificing the incident tensile wave amplitude, thus achieving pure tensile loading of the specimen.
It achieves pure tensile loading of specimens under high strain rates, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of test results. It is suitable for testing metallic materials that are sensitive to loading amplitude, and the device is simple and easy to implement, making it easy to promote.
