An Improved Technique for Determining Dynamic Material Properties Using the Expanding Ring

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

Abstract

Since its introduction nearly two decades ago, the expanding ring test has shown considerable promise as a simple method of obtaining strain-rate-sensitive uniaxial material property data. The procedure is to monitor the kinematics of a uniformly expanding ring. The stress-strain-strain rate response of the ring material can then be calculated from the ring equation of motion and the recorded data.
