Electromagnetic Hopkinson Rod
Harness transient stress waves to accurately explore the limits of dynamic mechanics of materials
The traditional impact loading method is innovated by electromagnetic pulse technology, and the mechanical test of high strain rate is made by precision engineering, which provides advanced test equipment support for the study of material properties under complex loads.
In the fields of aerospace, advanced materials, impact protection and major engineering equipment, the mechanical response of materials under high-speed impact, collision and complex dynamic loads is an important basis for revealing the evolution of material damage, establishing dynamic constitutive models and improving structural safety.
With the deepening of material science and impact dynamics research, the traditional one-way dynamic loading method has been difficult to fully meet the cutting-edge scientific research needs of complex stress state, multi-directional synchronous loading and fine stress wave control.
The electromagnetic Hopkinson bar (Electromagnetic Hopkinson Bar,E-Hopkinson Bar) combines the electromagnetic pulse drive technology with the classical Hopkinson bar test principle, and uses electromagnetic force to generate dynamic loading stress waves, which provides a new technical means for the mechanical response test of materials under high strain rate conditions.
Compared with the traditional loading method of using gas to drive the rod to generate stress wave, the direct electromagnetic pulse loading technology can adjust the stress wave amplitude, pulse duration and trigger timing through electromagnetic system parameters, and has unique advantages in controllable loading, waveform design and multi-directional coordinated loading, which expands the experimental space for the study of material mechanics under uniaxial dynamic tension, dynamic compression and complex stress state.
Xi 'an Xinghualang Technology Co., Ltd. focuses on the customized manufacturing of impact dynamics scientific research equipment and non-standard equipment, and carries out the design, processing and manufacturing of electromagnetic loading section, conductive structure, insulation components, mechanical support and special installation interface around the engineering requirements of electromagnetic Hopkinson rod core loading components.
Through the collaborative design of electromagnetic function and precision mechanical structure, it provides modular loading components and customized engineering technical support for single-axis, double-axis and three-axis electromagnetic Hopkinson rod test system.
Core technology advantage
01 Electromagnetic pulse drive technology-breaking through the limitations of traditional mechanical impact loading methods
The electromagnetic Hopkinson rod uses electromagnetic energy conversion to generate transient stress pulses, and the stress waves are transmitted to the specimen through the loading rod system to realize the mechanical test of the material under dynamic load.
By adjusting the working parameters of the electromagnetic loading system, the amplitude, duration and triggering process of the incident stress wave can be controlled, which provides more flexible loading conditions for different materials and test conditions.
The electromagnetic drive mode reduces the dependence of the traditional pneumatic ram loading on the mechanical collision process, and provides the technical basis for high repeatability dynamic loading, waveform regulation and complex dynamic test scheme.
02 Refined stress wave regulation-to meet the dynamic testing needs of different materials.
The mechanical response of materials under high strain rate loading is closely related to the stress wave amplitude, rise time, duration and the stress equilibrium process of the specimen.
According to the strength, stiffness and deformation characteristics of different materials, the electromagnetic Hopkinson rod can realize the loading process suitable for the test target by reasonably designing the electromagnetic loading system, adjusting the dynamic stress pulse characteristics, and combining with the necessary waveform shaping technology.
For metal, composite materials, polymer materials and other engineering materials, the targeted scheme design can be carried out according to the target strain rate and test conditions, which provides the test loading conditions for the study of the strain rate sensitivity, dynamic strength, damage evolution and failure behavior of the material.
03 Uniaxial, biaxial and triaxial loading adaptation-expanding the ability to study complex stress states
Materials and structures in practical engineering are often subjected to complex loads with multi-directional, non-proportional and transient changes, and the uniaxial dynamic test is difficult to fully reflect its true force behavior.
Electromagnetic pulse technology has the characteristics of controllable trigger timing, which provides a technical basis for the construction and coordinated control of multi-directional loading system.
Xi'an Xinghualang Technology Co., Ltd. has carried out modular electromagnetic loading section design around the structural requirements of single-axis, double-axis and three-axis electromagnetic Hopkinson rod systems.
According to the loading direction, the layout of the rod system and the installation space of the test device, the loading module can be configured in a targeted manner to provide core component support for dynamic mechanical tests under biaxial, triaxial and other complex stress states.
04 Electromagnetic and mechanical structure collaborative design-to achieve efficient integration of key loading components
The electromagnetic loading section is an important part of connecting the electromagnetic drive system and the mechanical loading rod system, and its structural layout, conductive performance, insulation reliability and mechanical connection accuracy are directly related to the realization of the loading function.
In view of the transient electromagnetic effect and mechanical structure requirements in the process of electromagnetic loading, the integrated engineering design is carried out by considering the conductive components, insulation components, bearing support structure and external installation interface.
By reasonably arranging the spatial position and connection mode of key components, the electromagnetic function, structural bearing, assembly accuracy and installation and maintenance requirements are taken into account.
The effective integration of electromagnetic function and mechanical support system is realized in the limited structural space, which provides a stable engineering structure foundation for high strain rate dynamic loading device.
05 Modular precision manufacturing-taking into account equipment adaptation and maintenance convenience
According to the test configuration, loading direction and installation size requirements of different Hopkinson rod systems, the modular and configurable structural design concept is adopted.
Through the combination of independent loading modules, standardized connection ideas and special installation components, the system adaptation ability of key components is improved.
In the process of manufacturing, the key connection size, installation benchmark, assembly coaxiality and processing quality of electrical insulation structure are mainly controlled to meet the installation and functional requirements of electromagnetic loading section.
At the same time, the modular design is convenient for the disassembly, replacement and maintenance of loading parts, and provides engineering support for the construction and function expansion of the test platform for different scientific research projects.
06 Customized development for scientific research needs-service complex dynamic loading test.
In view of the differentiated needs of universities, scientific research institutes and industrial enterprises in high strain rate experiments, non-standard custom design and manufacturing of electromagnetic loading components are carried out.
According to the configuration of the test device, the size of the rod system, the loading direction, the spatial layout and the interface of the electromagnetic system, the corresponding mechanical structure and manufacturing scheme are formulated.
