Bend Testing at Ballistic Speeds. First Partial Report: Technique and Survey of Typical Results

Abstract

High velocity bend tests have been carried out at NRL for some time by bullet impact on notched specimens, which are mounted on a ballistic pendulum to measure the bullet velocity. Very high strain rates, of the order of 10,000 inches per inch per second, can be achieved in this test. The technique has been improved steadily and present practice is clearly indicated by the Figures, showing apparatus and specimens.
