To effectively use such instruments, it is essential to know (i) the elastic properties of the bar, (ii) the correction factor of the measured strain, and (iii) information on impact velocity. This paper presents a graphic-user-interface (GUI) program prepared for solving these fundamental issues. We describe the directory structure of the program, roles and relations of associated files, GUI panels, algorithm, and execution procedure of the program. This program employs a separately measured bar density value and governs the ABAQUS simulations (explicit finite element analyses) of the bar impact test at a given impact velocity for a range of bar properties (elastic modulus and Poisson\u2019s ratio) and two correction factors (in compression and tension) of the measured strain. The simulation is repeated until the predicted elastic wave profile in the bar is reasonably consistent with the experimental counterpart. The bar properties and correction factors are determined as the calibrated values when the two wave profiles are reasonably consistent. The program is also capable of impact velocity calibration with reference to a reliably measured bar strain wave. The quantities of a 19.1 mm diameter bar (maraging steel) were successfully calibrated using the presented GUI program. The GUI program, auxiliary programs, pre-processing files, and an example ABAQUS input file are available in a publicly accessible data repository.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/data8030054","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,2]],"date-time":"2023-03-02T03:29:00Z","timestamp":1677727740000},"page":"54","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Manual of GUI Program Governing ABAQUS Simulations of Bar Impact Test for Calibrating Bar Properties, Measured Strain, and Impact Velocity"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6740-0522","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hyunho","family":"Shin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Mechanics of Materials and Design Laboratory, Department of Materials Engineering, Gangneung-Wonju National University, 7 Jugheon-Ghil, Gangneung 25457, Republic of Korea"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"437","DOI":"10.1098\/rsta.1914.0010","article-title":"A Method of measuring the pressure produced in the detonation of high explosives or by the impact of bullets","volume":"213","author":"Hopkinson","year":"1914","journal-title":"Philos.
