HIGH-RATE LOADING: EFFECT ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF CR-MO-V AND 4340 STEEL AT AMBIENT TEMPERATURE,

Abstract

Static and dynamic tests were conducted on thick-walled tubes to determine relative values for mechanical properties. The dynamic loading was produced in test specimens as a pressure pulse derived from the propellant gas discharged from a rifle. Results indicate an increase in yield strength of 10% to 20% under dynamic conditions. Procedure is given and results are discussed. (Author)
