Adiabatic Shear - An Annotated Bibliography

Abstract

References relating to the various aspects of Adiabatic Shear have been categorized into the following general areas: ordnance applications, metalworking, metallurgical studies, and miscellaneous aspects. Adiabatic shear has been recognized as a principal failure mechanism in several technology areas peculiar to the ordnance industry. They are the penetration/perforation of armor, the shatter of kinetic energy projectiles, the fragmentation of steel and the explosive forming of slugs. The workability of a material undergoing adiabatic deformation can either be improved due to the formation of a pseudo- superplastic state or degraded due to the localization of strain into narrow bands. Metallurgical studies on metal deformation, ductility, plasticity, and fracture report on the causes and effects of adiabatic shear.
