| Abstract |
Dynamic properties of materials are particularly important in the modelling of railway vehicles to improve their crashworthiness. This report describes experimental work carried out to determine the dynamic tensile properties of six materials. Five of the materials were supplied by the European Structural Integrity Society (ESIS) and the other was from an extruded beam taken from a carriage involved in a railway accident in the United Kingdom. Test specimens were manufactured to a design developed by the Health and Safety Laboratory, along with the test apparatus and technique used. Tests were carried out at various strain rates giving a reasonable spread of data. To enable the capture of data at high strain rates, a high-speed data logger was used along with a linescan camera to measure specimen elongation. |
