Latterly modified for impact testing of
automobile materials and structures for crashworthiness studies. Also road

6. Special issues connected with testing soft materials in SHPBs
If the impedance of the specimen is significantly smaller than that of the bars, the transmitted signal will be small. This means that the signal-to-noise ratio will be poor making it difficult to check specimen equilibrium. Thus low impedance (e.g. magnesium) bars are increasingly being used for testing soft materials such as polymers and elastomers.

Proceeding from here:
A better output bar than magnesium AZM would be one with lower stiffness
Polymers are an option – but analysis is challenging, especially for non-ambient temperatures
A capped metal tube can achieve the required impedance
Simulations of cap effects on wave propagation would be necessary

12. Summary
Many innovations in the Hopkinson bar technique have taken place in Europe.
Hopkinson bars continue to be developed, particularly in the areas of complex modes of loading (sheet metals), biaxial loading, large specimens, very high rates of strain (approaching shock), soft materials.
