Research Progress on Taylor Impact Test and Its Applications
Materials exhibit significant differences in their dynamic plastic behavior under high strain rates loading conditions such as impact and explosion when compared to static loading.Understanding the dynamic mechanical behavior of materials is an essential foundation for establishing accurate and reliable material constitutive models and numerical simulations.Taylor impact test is a classical experimental technique that characterizes the dynamic mechanical behavior of materials and play a crucial role in fields such as military,aerospace,and nuclear energy,providing strong support for the improvement and optimization of related technologies.This paper briefly reviews the research progress on the classical one-dimensional theoretical model,elastic-plastic wave propagation,numerical simulation,and dynamic constitutive relationships in Taylor impact tests.The theoretical development of Taylor impact tests,the development of experimental techniques and applications of Taylor impact tests are described in detail.Finally,the focuses,difficulties and future research directions of Taylor impact tests are discussed and analyzed to provide references for engineering practice and solutions of related problems.
