Three point bend set up is used to evaluate load and load point displacement on specimen during dynamic condition. Here, experiments have been conducted on Al 6063 alloys on Modified Hopkinson Pressure Bar (MHPB) in dynamic condition. The cylinder pressure and striker velocity was measured during experiments and it was 3.1 bar and 24m/s respectively. The strain gauges, data acquisition & computer were used to measure strain at two points at Hopkinson bar. The load point displacement and load are obtained by the two point strain measurement methods and one dimensional wave theory in terms of strains measured experimentally at two points.
