The main goal was to solve, with the use of numerical modelling, the problem of wave disturbance resulting from application of a shoulder, as well as the problem of selecting a specimen geometry that enables to study the phenomenon of high strain-rate failure in tension. It is shown that, in order to prevent any interference of disturbance with the required strain signals at a given recording moment, the positions of the strain gages on the bars have to be correctly chosen for a given experimental setup. Besides, it is demonstrated that - on the basis of simplified numerical analysis - an appropriate gage length and diameter of a material specimen for failure testing in tension can be estimated.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Tensile Split Hopkinson Bar Technique: Numerical Analysis of the Problem of Wave Disturbance and Specimen Geometry Selection}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/106344/PDF/10.15.15mms-2016-0027%20paper%2010.pdf}, doi={10.1515/mms-2016-0027}, keywords={Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar, tension testing, numerical analysis, strain-rate effects}, }
