SENSING PLASTIC STRAIN WAVES WITH FRACTURING WIRES,

Abstract

Plastic surface waves on an impact target can cause fracture of wires cemented to its surface; time of fracture is readily recorded electron ically. A summary is presented of the progress in determining conditions for selecting wire, adhesive, and method of assembly so that fracture of a wire implies a definite value of substrate strain. Fracturing wire transducers are compared with other devices for measuring large transient strains. (Author)
