TL;DR: In this paper, the anisotropic and rate-dependent mechanical behavior of a rolled AZ31B magnesium alloy under multiaxial loading over a wide range of strain rates ranging from 10 − 4 to 10 5 s − 1.

TL;DR: In this article, a laser-launched micro-flyer was used for spall strength measurement of AZ31B Mg alloy thin foils, a material system with potential applications as a lightweight protection material.

TL;DR: Two techniques for time-resolved x-ray diffraction from bulk polycrystalline materials during dynamic loading are developed and sample data is presented demonstrating the ability of these techniques to characterize elastic strains and poly Crystalline texture as a function of time during high-rate deformation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate transverse velocity detection using a modified PDV system where they subtract the measured normal velocity history from a concurrent velocity history measured at a canted angle to the target surface.

TL;DR: A method for in situ X-ray reflectivity measurements on the millisecond time scale is described, and its use for measuring interdiffusion in metallic multilayers is illustrated.
