Constitutive models can fail to predict high-rate deformation behavior due to their inability to account for microstructural effects. In part, this is because of a dearth of experimental benchmarking data in the high strain-rate, low pressure regime, since many high-rate experiments also probe a region of strong shockwaves, at which point microstructure effects no longer play a primary role. This work uses laser-induced particle impact testing to quantitatively study high velocity impacts of small, rigid alumina microspheres on flat copper substrates with varying amounts of initial cold work in the weak shock regime, but at very high strain rates up to ~107s–1. Through paired experiments and numerical simulations, this work shows that the initial microstructure condition can have significant influence on dynamical mechanical properties in this range. Specifically, prior work hardening of the copper substrate leads to increased rebounding of the microparticles (i.e., less plastic dissipation in the impact) as well as smaller craters. Each of these experimental measurables can be converted into a strength measure, i.e., the dynamic yield strength or dynamic hardness, respectively, neither of which is well predicted consistently by existing constitutive laws. The general trend of hardening can be captured by such models by incorporating an existing “pre-strain,” suggesting that future calibration of the materials parameters may yield a good fit over a broader range of conditions. Our results emphasize the importance of reporting the microstructural condition in dynamic studies, as well as the necessity of accounting for these factors when formulating and optimizing constitutive models.
