Four types of high Mn TWIP(Twinning Induced Plasticity) steels were fabricated by varying the Mn and Al content, and the tensile properties were measured at various strain rates and temperatures. An examination of the tensile properties at room temperature revealed an increase in strength with increasing strain rate because mobile dislocations interacted rapidly with the dislocations in localized regions, whereas elongation and the number of serrations decreased. The strength decreased with increasing temperature, whereas the elongation increased. A martensitic transformation occurred in the 18Mn, 22Mn and 18Mn1.6Al steels tested at −196 oC due to a decrease in the stacking fault energies with decreasing temperature. An examination of the tensile properties at −196 oC showed that the strength of the non-Al added high Mn TWIP steels was high, whereas the elongation was low because of the martensitic transformation and brittle fracture mode. Although a martensitic transformation did not occur in the 18Mn1.9Al steel, the strength increased with decreasing temperature because many twins formed in the early stages of the tensile test and interacted rapidly with the dislocations.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dynamic mechanical properties of fiber reinforced cement composite according to the strain rate. Experiment result, the compressive strength was improved by increase the strain rate. But strain at the peak stress and elastic modulus was not affected by the strain rate.

To evaluate the compressive characteristics of concrete with high strain rate, SHPB(Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar) test is typically used. To verify the applicability and reliability of SHPB test for concrete, direct displacement image analysis with high speed camera was performed using plain concrete and UHPC.

충돌 또는 폭발 하중 하의 콘크리트는 정적 하중에서 가지는 재료물성과 다른 거동을 보이게 된다. 즉, 고변형율 하의 콘크리트의 재료물성은 크게 변화하게 되며, 이를 시험평가하기 위한 방법 중 압축강도와 관련된 시험법으로는 SHPB(Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar) Test가 있다. 그러나, SHPB Test는 금속과 같은 인성재료를 위해 개발된 시험방법으로서 취성재료인 콘크리트에 적용이 가능한지에 대한 검토가 추가적으로 필요하며, UHPC와 같은 섬유보강 초고성능 콘크리트에 대한 연구는 미미한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 콘크리트 시험체를 위해 제작된 SHPB Test 장비를 사용하여 일반 콘크리트 및 UHPC 시험체에 대한 시험평가를 수행하였으며, SHPB Test의 적용 적정성을 파악하기 위하여 초고속카메라를 활용한 변위영상 분석을 통한 검증을 수행하였다.

Based on literature reviews, it was found that the dynamic increase factor, which is defined as the ratio of the dynamic strength to the static strength, is clearly dependent on specimen size, types, and experimental methods. It is expected that the proposed dynamic increase factor is significantly useful for numerical analysis of concrete behavior subjected to blast or impact.
