The Mechanical Behavior of Plastics and Metals at High Rates of Loading

Abstract

This is the final report which summarizes the work carried out at Brown University under the above contract. A list of the titles of the reports issued under this grant together with their relevant abstracts is included. These lists and abstracts give a summary of the details of the separate research projects which fall into a number of headings as listed below: Impact of hard spheres on blocks and plates of polymers and of metals; tensile shock waves in rubber; viscoelastic 'cross over effect'; stress wave propagation in geological materials; stress wave propagation in zinc single crystals; torsional oscillations of pre-stressed polymer and rubber specimens; torsional split Hopkinson bar apparatus; wave propagation in fiber reinforced composites; flexurial waves set up at boundaries between two rods.
