Metallic materials - Tensile testing at high strain rates - Part 1: Elastic-bar-type systems (ISO 26203-1:2010)
This International Standard specifies methods for testing metallic sheet materials to determine the
stress-strain characteristics at high strain rates. This part of ISO 26203 covers the use of elastic-bar-type systems.
The strain-rate range between 10−3 to 103 s−1 is considered to be the most relevant to vehicle crash events based on experimental and numerical calculations such as the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) work for crashworthiness. In order to evaluate the crashworthiness of a vehicle with accuracy, reliable stress-strain characterization of metallic materials at strain rates higher than 10−3 s−1 is essential.
This test method covers the strain-rate range above 102 s−1.
NOTE 1 At strain rates lower than 10−1 s−1, a quasi-static tensile testing machine that is specified in ISO 7500-1 and ISO 6892-1 can be applied.
NOTE 2 This testing method may be applied to tensile test-piece geometries other than the flat test pieces considered here.
Metallische Werkstoffe - Zugversuch bei hohen Dehngeschwindigkeiten - Teil 1: Elastische Stoßwellentechnik (ISO 26203-1:2010)
Diese Internationale Norm legt ein Prüfverfahren für Bleche aus metallischen Werkstoffen fest, um
Spannungs-Dehnungs-Kennwerte bei Anwendung hoher Dehngeschwindigkeiten zu bestimmen. Dieser
Teil der Norm behandelt Prüfverfahren unter Anwendung der Stoßwellentechnik.
Basierend auf Versuchen und Berechnungen zur Crashsicherheit, z. B. der Finite-Elemente-Analyse (FEA), ist
für Crashtests an Fahrzeugen der Dehngeschwindigkeitsbereich zwischen 10−3 s−1 und 103 s−1 am
wichtigsten.
Um eine exakte Bewertung der Crashsicherheit von Fahrzeugen zu ermöglichen, muss das Spannungs-
Dehnungsverhalten metallischer Werkstoffe bei Dehngeschwindigkeiten über 10−3 s−1 zuverlässig
charakterisiert werden.
Das hier beschriebene Prüfverfahren erfasst Dehngeschwindigkeiten oberhalb von 102 s−1.
ANMERKUNG 1 Bei Dehngeschwindigkeiten unter 10−1 s−1 kann eine quasistatische Zugprüfmaschine angewendet
werden, die in ISO 7500-1 und ISO 6892 festgelegt ist.
ANMERKUNG 2 Dieses Prüfverfahren darf auch auf Zugproben angewendet werden, die andere Maße als die hier
beschriebenen Flachzugproben haben.

L'ISO 26203-1:2010 spécifie des méthodes pour les essais des tôles de matériaux métalliques en vue de déterminer les caractéristiques contrainte-déformation à vitesses de déformation élevées. L'ISO 26203-1:2010 couvre l'utilisation des systèmes d'essai de type à barre élastique.
La gamme de vitesses de déformation entre 10-3 s-1 et 103 s-1 est considérée être la plus pertinente pour les accidents de véhicule sur la base de calculs expérimentaux et numériques tels que le travail d'analyse par éléments finis (AEF) pour le comportement en cas d'accident. De façon à évaluer le comportement des véhicules en cas d'accident avec précision, une caractérisation fiable des caractéristiques contrainte-déformation des matériaux métalliques à des vitesses de déformation supérieures à 10-3 s-1 est essentielle.
La méthode d'essai dans l'ISO 26203-1:2010 couvre la gamme de vitesses de déformation au dessus de 102 s-1.

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Introduction
Tensile testing of metallic sheet materials at high strain rates is important to achieve a reliable analysis of
3 −1
vehicle crashworthiness. During a crash event, the maximum strain rate often reaches 10 s , at which the
strength of the material can be significantly higher than that under quasi-static loading conditions. Thus, the
reliability of crash simulation depends on the accuracy of the input data specifying the strain-rate sensitivity of
the materials.
Although there are several methods for high-strain rate testing, solutions for three significant problems are
required.
The first problem is the noise in the force measurement signal.
⎯ The test force is generally detected at a measurement point on the force measurement device that is
located some distance away from the test piece.
⎯ Furthermore, the elastic wave which has already passed the measurement point returns there by
reflection at the end of the force measurement device. If the testing time is comparable to the time for
wave propagation through the force measurement device, the stress-strain curve may have large
oscillations as a result of the superposition of the direct and indirect waves. In quasi-static testing,
contrarily, the testing time is sufficiently long to have multiple round-trips of the elastic wave. Thus, the
force reaches a saturated state and equilibrates at any point of the force measurement device.
⎯ There are two opposing solutions for this problem.
⎯ The first solution is to use a short force measurement device which will reach the saturated state
quickly. This approach is often adopted in the servo-hydraulic type system.
⎯ The second solution is to use a very long force measurement device which allows the completion of
a test before the reflected wave returns to the measurement point. The elastic-bar type system is
based on the latter approach.
The second problem is the need for rapid and accurate measurements of displacement or test piece
elongation.
⎯ Conventional extensometers are unsuitable because of their large inertia. Non-contact type methods such
as optical and laser devices should be adopted. It is also acceptable to measure displacements using the
theory of elastic wave propagation in a suitably-designed apparatus, examples of which are discussed in
this document.
⎯ The displacement of the bar end can be simply calculated from the same data as force measurement, i.e.
the strain history at a known position on the bar. Thus, no assessment of machine stiffness is required in
the elastic-bar-type system.
The last problem is the inhomogeneous section force distributed along the test piece.
⎯ In quasi-static testing, a test piece with a long parallel section and large fillets is recommended to achieve
a homogeneous uniaxial-stress state in the gauge section. In order to achieve a valid test with force
equilibrium during the dynamic test, the test piece must be designed differently from the typically
designed quasi-static test piece. Dynamic test pieces must generally be smaller in the dimension parallel
to the loading axis than the test pieces typically used for quasi-static testing.

The elastic-bar-type system can thus provide solutions for dynamic testing problems and is widely used to
3 −1
obtain accurate stress-strain curves at around 10 s . The International Iron and Steel Institute developed the
“Recommendations for Dynamic Tensile Testing of Sheet Steel” based on the interlaboratory test conducted
by various laboratories. The interlaboratory test results show the high data quality obtained by the elastic-bar
type system. The developed knowledge on the elastic-bar-type system is summarized in this part of
ISO 26203; part 2 of ISO 26203 covers servo-hydraulic and other test systems used for high-strain-rate tensile
testing.

Metallic materials — Tensile testing at high strain rates —
Part 1:
Elastic-bar-type systems
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies methods for testing metallic sheet materials to determine the
stress-strain characteristics at high strain rates. This part of ISO 26203 covers the use of elastic-bar-type
systems.
−3 3 −1
The strain-rate range between 10 to 10 s is considered to be the most relevant to vehicle crash events
based on experimental and numerical calculations such as the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) work for
crashworthiness.
In order to evaluate the crashworthiness of a vehicle with accuracy, reliable stress-strain characterization of
−3 −1
metallic materials at strain rates higher than 10 s is essential.
2 −1
This test method covers the strain-rate range above 10 s .
−1 −1
NOTE 1 At strain rates lower than 10 s , a quasi-static tensile testing machine that is specified in ISO 7500-1 and
ISO 6892-1 can be applied.
NOTE 2 This testing method may be applied to tensile test-piece geometries other than the flat test pieces considered
here.

ISO 6892-1, Metallic materials — Tensile testing — Part 1: Method of test at room temperature
3 Principles
The stress-strain characteristics of metallic materials at high strain rates are evaluated.
−1
At a strain rate higher than 10 s , the signal of the loading force is greatly perturbed by multiple passages of
waves reflected within the load cell that is used in the quasi-static test. Thus, special techniques are required
for force measurement. This may be accomplished in two opposite ways:
⎯ one is to lengthen the force measurement device in the loading direction, in order to finish the
measurement before the elastic wave is reflected back from the other end (elastic-bar type systems);
⎯ another way is to shorten the force measurement device, thus reducing the time needed to attain dynamic
equilibrium within the force measurement device and realizing its higher natural frequency
(servo-hydraulic type systems).

Tests at low strain rates (under 10 s ) can be carried out using a quasi-static tensile testing machine.
However, special considerations are required when this machine is used for tests at strain rates higher than
conventional ones. It is necessary to use a test piece specified for high-strain-rate testing methods. Annex A
provides details of the test procedure for this practice.

6 Apparatus
6.1 Elastic bar. By using a long elastic bar, the test should be finished before the elastic wave is reflected
back from the other end of the bar that is on the opposite side of the test piece. Consequently, the force can
be measured without being perturbed by the reflected waves. For this method, the one-bar testing machine
and the split Hopkinson bar (SHB) testing machine are normally used (see Annex B and Annex C).
6.2 Input device. For the input method, open-loop-type loading is normally applied. The upper limit of the
−1
input speed is approximately 20 m s . For the SHB testing machine, a striker tube or striker bar is used. For
the one-bar testing machine, a hammer is normally used.
6.3 Clamping mechanism. A proper clamping mechanism (a method for connecting a test piece and an
elastic bar) is critical to data quality (see Annex B and Annex C).
The clamping fixtures for the SHB or one-bar testing machines are mounted directly on the elastic bars. The
clamping fixtures should be of the same material and diameter as the elastic bars to ensure minimal
impedance change when the stress wave propagates through the loading train. If a different material or size is
used, proper consideration should be made in the evaluation of stress and strain.
6.4 Force measurement device. Force should be measured by strain gauges of a suitably short gauge
length, typically 2 mm, attached to elastic bars that are directly connected with the test piece.
The location of the strain gauges should be in an area where the elastic wave is not influenced by end effects.
In order to measure a one-dimensional elastic wave, the strain gauges shall be attached at a distance at least
five times the diameter of the bars from the ends of the bars (see Annex B and Annex C).
2 −1
NOTE The measurable strain-rate range by this method is 10 s or higher. It is impractical to construct a testing
2 −1
machine for strain rates below 10 s , because bar lengths of several tens of metres in length would be required.
To ensure the validity of stress-strain curves, the straightness of the elastic bars is crucial. Proper supports or
guides for the elastic bars are essential in achieving this.
6.5 Displacement measurement device. Strain in the tensile test is represented by the ratio between the
relative displacement between two points in the gauge section, e.g. the initial and final gauge lengths of the
test piece. Generally, in quasi-static testing, an extensometer attached to the gauge section of the test piece is
used and the measurement is accurate. However, at high strain rates, it is impossible to use this method due
to the inertia effects of the extensometer. Thus, displacement or test piece elongation measurement at high
strain rates shall use the non-contact type devices or strain gauges on elastic bars.
Measuring devices that can be utilized for measuring displacement in elastic-bar-type systems are described
3 −1
in 6.5.1 to 6.5.3. These devices are recommended for strain rates up to 10 s and measured displacements
should be recorded for the duration of the test. These devices may be used in combination. For example,
when devices 6.5.1 and 6.5.3 are used in combination, the displacement at one end of the original gauge
length (L ) is measured by the noncontact-type displacement gauge (6.5.1) and the other end is measured by
o
the strain gauge (6.5.3) that is attached on the surface of the bar.
6.5.1 Noncontact-type displacement gauge. The displacement at one end of the original gauge length
(L ) is measured and recorded by laser, optical or similar devices.
o
By using two 6.5.1 type devices or one 6.5.1 type device and one 6.5.3 type device, the variation of L in
total
Figure 1 (type-A test piece in Clause 7) with time can be measured and the elongation can be calculated.
6.5.2 Noncontact-type extensometer. High-speed cameras, Doppler or laser extensometers, or other
non-contact systems can be applied for measuring the variation of L in Figure 2 (type-B test piece in
c
Clause 7).
6.5.3 Strain gauge. The variation of displacement of the end of the elastic bar with time should be
calculated using Equation (1) which is based on the strain history measured by the strain gauge attached to
the elastic bar.

6.6 Data acquisition instruments. Amplifiers and data recorders such as oscilloscopes are used to assess
stress-strain curves from raw signals. Each instrument should have a sufficiently high frequency response.
The frequency response of all elements in the electronic measurement system must be selected to ensure
that all recorded data are not negatively influenced by the frequency response of any individual component;
typically this requires minimum frequency response on the order of 500 kHz. For digital data recorders, the
minimum resolution of measured data should be 10 bits.
7 Test piece
7.1 Test-piece shape, size and preparation
Test-piece geometry is determined by the following requirements.
a) The required maximum strain rate determines the parallel length. A test piece of shorter length can
achieve higher strain rates. In order to achieve force equilibrium in the test piece, the parallel length
should be short enough at a given strain-rate range.
3 −1
b) In order to assure equilibrium of forces at the strain rates up to 10 s , the preferred parallel length is
less than 20 mm.
Uniform deformation over the parallel length of the test piece requires that the force should be
equilibrated at both ends of the test piece. Force propagates as an elastic wave. To achieve equilibrium,
at least the following inequality should be satisfied.

c is the elastic wave propagation velocity in the test piece;
e is the desired engineering strain before achieving equilibrium;
s
e is the testing strain rate.
c) The width of the test piece should be determined to obtain uniaxial stress during the test. The following
rule should be applied:
