Journal ArticleDOI
Review of experimental techniques for high rate deformation and shock studies
TL;DR: In this paper, a variety of techniques used to obtain the mechanical properties of materials at high rates of strain (⩾10 s−1) are summarised, including dropweight machines, split Hopkinson pressure bars, Taylor impact and shock loading by plate impact.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hot-spot ignition mechanisms for explosives and propellants
TL;DR: In this paper, the response of explosives to stress and impact and in particular the mechanisms of hot-spot production are described and discussed. But, the authors focus on hot spot production.
Journal ArticleDOI
The high strain rate compressive behaviour of polycarbonate and polyvinylidene difluoride
TL;DR: In this paper, the compressive stress-strain behavior of polycarbonate and polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) at different strain rates was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solid particle erosion of metals: the removal of surface material by spherical projectiles
TL;DR: In this paper, a model of crater formation is proposed which accurately predicts the volume of material displaced and the energy lost by an impacting sphere, and it is found that metal becomes detached along a band of intense subsurface shear.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shock-induced collapse of single cavities in liquids
Neil Bourne,John E. Field +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a two-dimensional method was used to observe the interactions of plane shock waves with single cavities, which allowed study of processes occurring within the cavity during collapse.
