The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The high strain rate response of PVC foams and end-grain balsa wood (2008, background): “Most of the studies on soft solids used either aluminium Hopkinson bars [14] or magnesium bars as in [15].”
Dynamic tensile testing of plastic materials (2008, background): “Chen and co-workers [19,20,23,24] developed a pulse shaping technique that can fine-tune the load rising response so that a variety of materials can be tested.”
High Strain Rate Mechanics of Polymers: A Review (2016, background): “these difficulties through modifications to the Hopkinson bar or other similar systems [57, 66].”
The uniaxial stress versus strain response of pig skin and silicone rubber at low and high strain rates (2006, methodology): “Pulse shapers take the form of disks of soft materials such as paper, plastic, or copper mounted on to the striker end of the input bar [8,10,58,59].”
