The paper aims at providing an overview of the research activities performed in the two past
decades in the field of materials characterisation under dynamic loadings (ie from 10− 3 s− 1 …

A gravitational split Hopkinson tension bar (SHTB) was developed with the goal of enabling
an accurate characterization of the mechanical behavior of quasi-ductile cementitious …

Strain-hardening cement-based composites (SHCC) reinforced additionally with continuous
textile reinforcement exhibit a high tensile strength, ductility and low crack width up to failure …

Hopkinson bar technique frequently encounters technical challenges when dealing with
large strain requirements, especially under intermediate strain rate tensile loading. In this …

Response of a material under dynamic loading is different as compared to static loading.
Dynamic material properties are therefore necessary for assessment of structural integrity …

The paper aims at providing an overview of the research activities performed from the two
past decades at the authors laboratory, in the field of the materials characterisation under …

Ces travaux de thèse sont le fruit le d'une collaboration entre le Laboratoire d'Automatique,
de Mécanique et d'Informatique Industrielles et Humaines (LAMIH) de l'Université de …

An experimental investigation of the mechanical behaviour of three-sheet multi-material spot
welded assembly is performed. An experimental device based on the Arcan principle is …

Recently, cryogenic machining of difficult-to-cut alloys has been adopted to increase tool life
and improve the machined components surface integrity. Numerical models of cryogenic …

A finite element (FE) model of the ONERA Split Pressure Hopkinson Bars (SHPB) device is
built. It is validated by comparing the experimental and numerical incident, reflected and …
