Abstract

Experimental techniques for high-strain-rate measurements and for the study of impact-related problems are described. An approach to classifying these experimental techniques is presented, and the state-of-the-art is briefly described. An in-depth description of the basis for high-strain-rate experiments is presented, with an emphasis on the development of a range of strain rates and a range of stress states. The issues associated with testing metals, ceramics and soft materials are reviewed. Next, experimental techniques that focus on studying the propagation of waves are considered, including plate impact and shock experiments. Experiments that focus on the development of dynamic failure processes are separately reviewed, including experiments for studying spallation and dynamic fracture.
