Summary: This study introduces a variation of the Hopkinson bar, called Direct Impact Tension Bar (DITB), which is well-suited for probing low-impedance materials at intermediate strain-rates. The DITB offers accurate force signals without detrimental oscillations, making it a reliable tool for studying strain-rate effects. Experimental results on polycarbonate specimens demonstrate the applicability of the DITB in dynamic tensile tests, providing high-quality data free from oscillations.

Summary: In this study, the pure shear responses of Ti6Al4V alloy and Ti3Al2.5V alloy were compared using Digital Image Correlation technique. It was found that Ti3Al2.5V alloy has lower shear flow stress and strain rate sensitivity with higher ductility compared to Ti6Al4V alloy. Both alloys fail by adiabatic shear banding at high strain rates, which is different from the failure mechanisms observed at medium strain rate and quasi-isothermal condition.

Summary: The uniaxial compression behavior of building sandstone at high strain rates is investigated using dynamic and static compression tests. It is found that the static compression strength of flattened cylinders is 50% higher than that of standard cylinders. The study also explores the relationship between strain rate and fracture damage, and analyzes the correlations between dynamic strength, strain rate, and dynamic modulus based on experimental results.

Summary: A methodology was proposed to achieve large strains under intermediate strain rates, with an experimental system constructed based on it. The system includes a striker bar generating continuous stress wave loading and a long polymethylmethacrylate bar as the transmitted bar, allowing for nearly constant amplitude loading stress wave with infinite duration. The measurement capacity was confirmed through loading a thermoplastic polyurethane with maximum strains up to 12% and 65% under different strain rates.

Summary: This study investigated the yield behavior of oxygen-free copper under complex stress states and different loading rates using an optimized cruciform specimen and a novel electromagnetic biaxial split Hopkinson bar (EBSHB). The non-contact digital image correlation technique was adopted for strain measurement, and quasi-static and dynamic yield surfaces were obtained. The von Mises criterion was found to provide better prediction of the yield surface under both quasi-static and dynamic loadings.

Summary: Low-iron ultra-clear float glass (LIFG) has become popular in landmark and large-scale buildings for its aesthetic characteristics. This paper investigates the dynamic mechanical properties of LIFG for blast resistance design by conducting quasi-static and dynamic tests. The results show that the dynamic compressive and tensile strengths of LIFG are strain-rate dependent, with the tensile strength being more sensitive to strain rate. The strain rate effect does not significantly affect the Young's modulus of LIFG.

Summary: The influence of preservation with formalin and dehydration on the mechanical properties of cortical bone were evaluated in this study. Results showed that formalin fixation and dehydration significantly increased the ultimate strain and ultimate stress of the bone, but had no significant effect on the elastic modulus. Different fracture mechanisms were observed between fresh and preserved bone.

Summary: This study investigated the penetration/perforation behavior of a core material using both experimental and numerical methods. Different penetration geometries resulted in different forms of damage, and increasing the thickness of the core geometry significantly increased the force-displacement curves. The numerical results were in good agreement with the experimental results.

Summary: Incorporating crumbed recycled rubber powders as aggregate has a significant impact on the properties of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). The rubber powders reduce the flowability of UHPC, but can effectively reduce damage and increase the dynamic compressive properties of UHPC under impact loading by increasing the tortuosity of cracks and dissipating energy.

Summary: The impact of ice on structures, particularly aeronautical or space crafts, is a major concern due to the damage caused by atmospheric ice, especially hailstones during hailstorms. Limited research has been done on the tensile strength of ice under dynamic loading. This study investigates the role of porosity in the tensile behavior of ice, showing that strength increases with strain rate but decreases with increasing porosity.

Summary: This paper presents a new experimental method, called PS-PTS, for characterizing the confined shear strength of concrete or rock-like materials using a pre-stressed sample. The method involves using a metallic confinement cell and a hydraulic press to apply confinement force and differential displacement to the sample, respectively. The results are compared to data obtained using a traditional testing method.

Summary: Direct shear tests were conducted to investigate the shear behavior of concrete-rock interfaces, revealing the significant influence of micro-roughness and macro-roughness. Based on these findings, a cohesive frictional model was used to simulate bonded concrete-granite interfaces with explicit representation of naturally rough surfaces, achieving good prediction capability compared to experimental results.

Summary: In this study, dynamic experiments and numerical simulations are conducted to investigate the induced damage modes in Lingulid sandstone under dynamic and impact loading. The experimental results demonstrate the significant role of pre-existing structural defects in impact loading, affecting wave propagation, loading-rate, and tensile strength of the material. The numerical simulations show that in the absence of structural defects, a wide network of radial cracks can be expected.

Summary: Recent developments in musculoskeletal modeling have focused on model customization. Personalization of the spine profile may affect estimates of spinal loading and stability. This study investigates the biomechanical consequences of changes in the spinal profile and finds that personalizing the spine profile has medium to large effects on trunk muscle forces and negligible to small effects on spinal loading and stability.

Summary: Exercise therapy fails in about 25.0% of cases for individuals with rotator cuff tears, and one reason for this failure may be the inability to strengthen and balance the muscle forces that keep the humeral head in the correct position. This study developed computational musculoskeletal models to compare the net muscle force before and after exercise therapy between successfully and unsuccessfully treated patients. The study found that unsuccessfully treated patients had less inferiorly oriented net muscle forces, which may increase the risk of impingement.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the intra-foot biomechanical differences among individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI), copers, and healthy individuals during dynamic tasks. The study found that copers and CAI individuals had smaller dorsiflexion angles and copers presented a more eversion position compared to healthy participants. Copers also had greater dorsiflexion angles in the metatarsophalangeal joint and more inversion moments in the subtalar joint during certain tasks. These findings can help in designing interventions to restore ankle joint functions in CAI individuals.
