Development of “Dropkinson” Bar for Intermediate Strain-rate Testing

A new apparatus – “Dropkinson Bar” – has been successfully developed for material property characterization at intermediate strain rates. This Dropkinson bar combines a drop table and a Hopkinson bar. The drop table is used to generate a relatively long and stable low-speed impact to the tensile spe...
