Abstract
A critical review of three classic papers by B Hopkinson, RM Davies, and H Kolsky, and the state-of-the-art in Hopkinson bar experimental techniques is presented. The validity and applicability of the assumption made in the 1D Hopkinson bar theory are discussed. Fundamentals of the Hopkinson bar experimental procedure are outlined including bar calibration, specimen design, pulse shaping, and data analysis following the essential dispersion correction methodology. Additional data tables necessary for dispersion correction are provided to cover a wide range of Poisson’s ratio. In addition to the elastic-plastic metals, methodologies for soft and hard materials are also discussed. This paper provides the necessary information for conducting a Hopkinson bar experiment and analyzing the experimental data. This review article cites 61 references.Keywords
