Measurements of Dynamic Properties of Materials. Volume 2. Experimental Methods and Techniques

Abstract

Experimental methods and techniques for studying the dynamic response of materials are discussed. Descriptions cover uniaxial and multiaxial stress testing at strain rates up to 1,000/sec, temperatures up to 4000C and heating rates up to 10,000C/sec; measurements of elastic constants as functions of temperature (up to 300C) and pressure (up to 10 kbars); flat-plate impact techniques for uniaxial strain testing at impact velocities up to 8 mm/microsec; hugoniot equation of state measurements with x-cut quartz gages and streak camera; wave profile studies using laser velocity interferometer, manganin gage, slanted resistance wire and magnetic wire techniques; and spall fracture studies using active (free surface velocity vs. time) and recovery (metallographic examination) methods. Where appropriate, data reduction and analysis procedures are described.
