Abstract
A modified version of the Split Hopkinson-Kolsky Pressure Bar is described, intended for impact testing of porous metals and other low-strength materials. In it, one bar is made of aluminum alloy and the other bar is a steel tube. Several variants of the mathematical model for working with such devices are described. The stress-strain diagram of the specimen is extracted from the first impact signal. Attention has been paid to the approach to choosing the initial moments from which the calculations must start. Several examples are shown with solid and porous aluminum alloy samples. Despite the lack of high accuracy of the diagram at small stresses, the facility is suitable for quickly obtaining the overall appearance of the diagram after crushing small cylindrical specimens (up to 10 mm in diameter and height) and estimating the stresses at which the material deforms plastically.
