THE SHEAR STRENGTHS OF SOME SOLIDIFIED GASES.
Abstract
The shear strengths of solid argon, krypton and hydrogen have been measured at pressures up to 8000 kg/sq cm in an extrusion apparatus. Argon and krypton were examined at 77K; hydrogen at 4.2K. Indium was also tested at room temperature and served as a control. The shear strength of the solidified gases, which was initially in the range from 1 to 20 kg/sq cm, was found to increase by about an order of magnitude in the pressure range investigated. (Author)
