Abstract

Two-wave methods and Three-wave method are conventional methods to process the SHPB experiment data. Due to the presence of transient waves in dynamic experiments, both the stress and strain fields within a specimen are seldom absolutely uniform. Different date processing methods lead to different results. In this paper, we have developed a program to compare the results getting from different methods. The difference of the strains corresponding to the ultimate stress can reach 20%. Which one is better? One material shouldn't have different constitutive. In order to solve the problem, we have developed Three-wave mutual-checking method, which is based on the conservation of the momentum of the whole system. This method provides a checking mechanism, so some human error can be avoided when process the same experiment data. By this method, different person can obtain the only credible stress-strain curve based on the same test data.
