The present disclosure provides a dynamic true triaxial electromagnetic Hopkinson bar system and testing method, the method including: firstly, before applying a static prestress and an impact load, recording and storing complete ultrasonic signals in the directions X, Y, and Z without application of the static prestress and the impact load; secondly, applying the static prestress; thirdly, recording and storing complete ultrasonic signals in the directions X, Y, and Z under the static prestress; fourthly, applying the impact load, and utilizing an triaxial and six-directional synchronous-coordinated-control electromagnetic loading system to apply a dynamic impact load to a test specimen; and fifthly, after completing the dynamic impact loading test, recording and storing once again complete ultrasonic signals in the directions X, Y, and Z without releasing the static prestress after application of the static prestress and the dynamic impact load.

A loading system for a Hopkinson pressure bar test under water-gas-temperature multi-field coupling action includes: a sample sealed cabin which includes sealing flanges, Y-shaped and high-temperature resistant sealing rings, and a sealed cabin body; a gas pressure loading device which includes a high-pressure gas tank, a pressure regulating valve, a second barometer, a second high-pressure valve and a first three-way valve connected in sequence; a water pressure loading device which includes an electric pressure test water pump, a water pressure gauge, an accumulator and a one-way valve connected in sequence; a temperature loading device which includes thermocouple heating rods, a temperature display and a thermocouple temperature control circuit board connected in sequence; and a dynamic and static combined loading device which includes an axial pressure loading device, an impact loading device and a Hopkinson pressure bar member.

An impact slug includes a first slug segment and a second slug segment arranged in sequence along a length direction of the impact slug. The second slug segment is connected to the first slug segment.

A method for testing a helmet for effectiveness of user protection includes moving a load along a predetermined path, supporting a target body at an impact location in the predetermined path, the target body including a head model and a helmet disposed on the head model, and impacting the target body with a force generated by the moving of the load. The impacting of the target body entails contacting the target body with an impactor free to move perpendicularly and tangentially relative to a surface of the target body. The supporting of the target body is at least reduced, if not eliminated, before or during the impact of the impactor with the target body at the location. Forces generated are automatically measured or sensed during the impact of the impactor with the target body at the location.

A destructive inspection method of a vitreous silica crucible for pulling a silicon single crystal evaluates a crack state of an inner surface of the vitreous silica crucible supported by a graphite susceptor when a load is instantaneously applied to at least one point on the inner surface via an automatic center punch while pushing the tip portion of the automatic center punch against the inner surface. The destructive inspection method can inspect the vitreous silica crucible under conditions as close to the actual conditions of use as possible.

An output member for a Direct Impact Hopkinson pressure bar includes an elongate tube portion and a disc-shaped cap portion. The tube portion has a first end and an opposite second end, while the cap portion includes a first face and an opposite second face. A circular stub protrudes from a center of the first face, and a circular cavity is formed in the second face. Each of the stub and the cavity is concentric with the cap portion, with a diameter of the cavity being greater than a diameter of the stub. The second face of the cap portion is positioned in intimate contact with the first end of the tube portion, with the cap portion being concentric with the tube portion.
