abstract
The dynamic stressstrain response of a material can be described by a number of different models of varying fidelity. However, an individual models ability to replicate the dynamic stressstrain response of a material can be hindered by experimental variability. Reification, an approach to fusing models and experimental data with inherent scatter, is presented. It is then used to determine the optimum parameters of the JohnsonCook (JC) and ZerilliArmstrong (ZA) models using a fusion of Split-Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) data and the JC and ZA models fit to the SHPB data using a traditional approach. The output of the fused model is a dataset that represents a best-guess sampling of the possible stressstrain response of a high strength steel. In the present work, the dynamic response of a newly developed steel, AF9628, is evaluated. Under the reification framework, the experimental variability and limitations of the mathematical model expressions are addressed by the optimized sampling of data and combined fitting process. The JC and ZA models are then re-fit to partitions of the fused dataset, which bound the responses of the traditionally fit JC and ZA models. The behavior of the re-fit models and the traditionally fit models are compared via a simulated Taylor anvil test.
