High strain rate tensile testing of sheet materials using three Hopkinson pressure bars

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012
In an attempt to circumvent the inherent problems associated with Split Hopkinson Tensile Bar (SHTB) systems, a new experimental technique is proposed for the high strain rate tensile testing of sheet specimens in Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB ...

Bioinspired Regenerative Lignification Enables Ultra‐Hard and Sustainable Bamboo Structural Materials

Exploration, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
Developing strong and sustainable materials is essential for reducing reliance on metals and lowering carbon emissions. Inspired by how plants naturally harden their cell walls, we created a rapid process that transforms bamboo into an ultra‐hard structural material by rebuilding lignin‐like networks within its structure.

Experimental Investigations on the Energy Absorption of Aluminum TPMS Structures Under Dynamic Loading

Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) constitute a prominent class of cellular structures and have gained considerable attention in current research. These structures are genus‐infinite surfaces with zero mean curvature, which prevents self‐intersection. They also exhibit periodicity in all three spatial directions and exhibit enhanced multi‐

Low‐Dose Electron Total Scattering Analysis Resolves Non‐Crystalline Phase Separation in Polymer Semiconductors and Device Multilayers

Small Methods, Volume 10, Issue 11, 8 June 2026.
The performance of polymer blend semiconductors is governed by both the degree of phase separation and crystallization, but these two aspects have remained unresolved. We report methods for mapping amorphous‐amorphous as well as amorphous‐crystalline phase separation in polyfluorene‐based polymer blends using spatially resolved nanobeam electron total ...

Study of adiabatic localized shear in metals by split Hopkinson pressure bar method

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2011
This paper is devoted to the technique for study of localized shear using hat-shaped 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.

Organic Matter Stoichiometry Regulates the Continental Shelf Carbon Pump Efficiency of the Northwest European Shelf Seas

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Variations in the elemental C:N:P ratios of organic matter (OM) influence the coupling of carbon and nutrient cycles in the ocean. In this study, we assess the relevance of OM C:N:P stoichiometry for regional carbon cycling in the northwest European shelf seas (NWES).

Impact Behavior of Recycled Aggregate Concrete Based on Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar Tests

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2013
This paper presents the experimental results of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) specimens prepared with five different amounts of recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) (i.e., 0, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%) subjected to impact loading based on split Hopkinson ...

Numerical Simulation for Bar Straightness Effect in Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar

Procedia Engineering, 2017
Abstract Bars alignment in a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar influences the quality of signal recorded during experiments, and thus affects the data of material properties being measured. There are some parameters directly related to the bars alignment such as their straightness, the impact face parallelism, and the neutral axis offset.

Pandemic Geographies of Home: Domestic Thresholding in Response to COVID‐19

Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, Volume 51, Issue 2, June 2026.
Short Abstract With the home at the forefront of political and public health responses to COVID‐19, the thresholds between domestic space and the world beyond acquired a new significance in people's everyday lives. This paper introduces the concept of ‘thresholding’ to explore the ways in which internal and external thresholds are understood and ...

Effect of structurally-induced lateral confinement on split Hopkinson pressure bar test specimens of concrete-like materials

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
In dynamic testing of concrete-like materials, there is a need in distinguishing structural effects from genuine strain-rate effects. In this paper, this generic problem is studied by numerical simulations based on a phenomenological material model ...
