Impact Dynamics Lab – Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar

The Split-Hopkinson-Pressure-Bar system can operate in compression and tension and allows for testing of materials at the magnitude of strain rates seen when a bullet strikes a target, for example. Dynamic stress-strain data generated from this testing is of paramount importance for providing material behaviour data required for computational models.
