Abstract

Measurements were taken of the dynamic elasticity limit and fracture stresses in uniaxial shock wave loading of 35Kh3NM, ÉP836, and 45 steels and a heavy alloy with a density of 17 g/cm3. Simultaneous loading of specimens was carried out by impacts of aluminum sheets 2 and 0.4 mm thick accelerated to a speed of 660 m/sec by explosive devices or by detonation of an explosion lens in contact with the specimen. Data on the strength properties of the materials were obtained from analysis of the profiles of the rate of the free rear surface of the specimens recorded using a laser doppler speed measuring device. The results show that in all examined materials the elastoplastic nature of the compressive wave is clearly evident, although the relationships governing their deformation in compression differ.
