Fracture Tests with an Electrohydraulic Pulser.

Abstract

The overall goal of this effort was to produce spall fractures at the outer surface of hydrostone specimens to demonstrate that an electrohydraulic spark can be used as a stress wave source for fracturing brittle materials. The immediate objective of this study was to demonstrate that electrohydraulic blast loading could produce fracture in hydrostone specimens.
