Design of Uniaxial Strain Shock Recovery Experiments

  • Chapter
Shock Waves and High-Strain-Rate Phenomena in Metals

Abstract

We present an elementary introduction to the art and science of uniaxial strain-shock recovery experiments. Subjects discussed include generation of planar stress waves, design of sample recovery experiments, stress-gage instrumentation, and temperature effects. The emphasis of the present paper is practical; we hope to provide the neophyte with the basic information needed to design and interpret well-characterized shock recovery experiments.
