Center for High Energy Forming

Abstract

Strain gage data showing strain- and pressure-time histories versus charge stand-off during explosive deformation is given. The results show a decrease in strain rate with an increase in stand-off at constant charge weight. Recent results of a numerical solution for deformation and instability in the hydrostatic bulge test are presented. Summary information is presented for technology transfer; mechanics of energy transfer and high velocity metal deformation; electromagnetic forming; strain rate effects; the effect of explosive forming on the terminal properties of materials, and explosive welding.
