TL;DR: In this paper, the behavior of pure tungsten under conditions of one-dimensional shock loading has been monitored using Manganin stress gauges, in longitudinal and lateral orientations, and the shock induced equation of state, in terms of stress and particle velocity (from the longitudinal gauges), shows that the Hugoniot of this pure material agrees with the results of previous workers.

TL;DR: The compact forced-simple-shear specimen (CFSS) as discussed by the authors was developed as a means to achieve simple shear testing of materials over a range of temperatures and strain rates.

TL;DR: In this paper, the response of pure nickel (Ni), a binary Ni-60 at. pct cobalt (Co) alloy exhibiting a low stacking fault energy (SFE), and the ordered face-centered-cubic (fcc) alloy Ni-24Al-0.01B to shock loading has been studied using the technique of plate impact.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of integrated loading states on the dynamic shear localization response of high-purity Fe by varying the geometry of the forced shear specimen was examined.

TL;DR: In this paper, the boundary structure was found to play an important role in the mechanical properties at low temperature for commercial purity aluminum AA1050 billets with similar submicrometer grain sizes but distinctively different boundary structures.
