Abstract:

To study the dynamic mechanical properties of melt deposited poly(lactic acid)(PLA) materials, their dynamic compression experiments were carried out using a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) experimental device with loading strain rates of 880, 1 230, 1 650 and 2 230 s-1. The deformation images of PLA materials were obtained under different strain rates using a high frame rate image acquisition instrument. A digital image correlation (DIC) method was adopted to analyze the strain field along the loading direction, and the strain rate analysis was carried out. The results indicated that the melt deposited PLA present elastic, plastic and unloading stages in the deformation process under a dynamic loading. With an increase in strain rate, a significant plastic flow region appears in the plastic stage of PLA, and the compressive strength and maximum strain also tended to increase. The strain distribution in the sample was almost uniform over the whole dynamic impact experiment, and the strain range increased with an increase in strain rate. The strain rate kept almost a constant value during the whole loading process. According to the SHPB experiment, the strain rate error measured by the DIC method was less than 3 %. This indicates that the DIC method can be applied to the SHPB experiment.
