Validity of one-dimensional experimental principle for flat specimen in bar-bar tensile impact apparatus (Q1573217)

The Bar-bar Tensile Impact Apparatus (BTIA) is widely used to measure the dynamic tensile properties of solid materials. In the present paper, a simplified three-dimensional finite element model for the BTIA system with a flat specimen is established to simulate the experimental process of a BTIA. The numerical solution for the model is solved by ADINA. In the scope of elastoplastic theory, the numerical analysis confirms the validity of the one-dimensional experimental principle used in the BTIA, as long as certain foundations are satisfied.
