Ø100mm SHPB Equipment and its Application

Hopkinson Pressure Bar (HPB) is one of the main sets to study material dynamic mechanic properties. Large diameter HPB is mainly used for nonhomogeneous materials. In this paper the properties of Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) of Ø100mm are introduced, including its structure and performance index. The main problems of large diameter SHPB are analyzed. The further development and application of SHPB are also explored.
