This paper is concerned with the validation of the dynamic hardening behaviors of metallic materials by comparing numerical and experimental results of the Taylor impact tests. Several uniaxial tensile tests are performed at different strain rates and temperatures by using three kinds of materials: 4130 steel (BCC); OFHC copper (FCC); and Ti6Al4V alloy (HCP). Uniaxial material tests are performed at a wide range of strain rates from 10
