Plastic Strain in Materials Under the Influence of Impulsive Load

Abstract

<p>Equipment was designed for testing dynamic behaviors of materials subjected to impulsive load.</p> <p>Detail design of the equipment and experimental techniques have been described.</p> <p>Armco Ingot Iron with 99.8% purity was tested. Before testing, the material was fully annealled.</p> <p>"n" and "G(ε,t) (as occurring in the characteristic equation σm^n to K(n) = G (ε,t), for this material were evaluated.</p> <p>The material was found to ber very sensitive to strain rates.</p>
