An overview of methods used in dynamic testing of materials

Abstract

The paper presents an elemental description and methodology of tests that take intoaccount the effect of high strain rate on materials strength parameters. The article describes suchtesting methodology as: Taylor test, split Hopkinson pressure bar method, and expanding ring test todetermine the dynamic properties of materials.Keywords: Taylor test, expanding ring test, split Hopkinson pressure bar, dynamic behaviour of materials
