Base Material Tests, High Speed Hydraulics [+]
|
In support of the Auto/Steel Partnership (A/S-P), Strain Rate Characterization Project, ORNL will conduct high rate experimental tensile tests and analysis of base materials. The objective of the test program is to provide the necessary experimental data in support of the A/S-P efforts to determine high-strain-rate mechanical properties of Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS). The experiments and data will also enable better predictive modeling of base materials for finite element crash modeling. The test program will consist of testing tensile specimens under strain rates of quasi-static, 0.1/s, 1/s, 10/s, 100/s, and maximum strain rates achievable in full open loop configuration. The tests will be conducted on the new hydraulic test equipment at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. All the tests will be conducted using the same apparatus. If an effective gage length for the chosen specimen is known the equipment can be programmed to run non-linear velocities in the drive file to achieve global strain control (engineering or true strain rate as desired). High-speed video recording provide detailed record of the test as well as displacement data for strain measurements.
