Calibration and Characterization of Ytterbium Stress Transducers

Abstract

A series of experiments at stress levels up to 7.8 kbar were performed to determine the resistance change at peak dynamic stress of four- terminal gages fabricated from ytterbium foil and encapsulated in plexiglas. Four different lots of 99.9% pure ytterbium obtained from a single supplier were used in the experiments. Results are discussed.
