Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar

The Hopkinson pressure bar is a specialized equipment to study the dynamic mechanical properties of materials under a one-dimensional stress state. It’s used to determine the stress and strain characteristics of the material under dynamic impact conditions. It’s mainly used to obtain the stress-strain curve of metal and composite materials.
