I am trying o do the simulation of SHPB (Split-Hopkinson pressure bar) test by ANSYS-LS DYNA. How can I calculate the deformation or aspect ratio (length/diameter) change?
Hi Imrose, there is not only a specific method as far as I know. Generally we detect some node histories and simply substract their displacement histories from each other. But if there is a more proper method I dont know about that.
I think subtracting displacement histories can be a good (enough for me) way to calculate the deformation. OK, let me try this - if I face problem to do this, I will let you know.
Thanks again, for your helping attitude as always.
