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.

Bifurcation-based acoustic switching and rectification
TL;DR: A new mechanism for tunable rectification that uses bifurcations and chaos is demonstrated and envisage this mechanism to enable the design of advanced photonic, thermal and acoustic materials and devices.

Graphene coating makes carbon nanotube aerogels superelastic and resistant to fatigue
TL;DR: It is shown that an inelastic aerogel made of single-walled carbon nanotubes can be transformed into a superelastic material by coating it with between one and five layers of graphene nanoplates, and the graphene-coated aerogels exhibits no change in mechanical properties after more than 1 × 10(6) compressive cycles.

Solitary waves in the granular chain
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce the physics of solitary waves in alignments of elastic beads, such as glass beads or stainless steel beads, and show that any impulse propagates as a new kind of highly interactive solitary wave through such an alignment and that the existence of these waves seems to present a need to re-examine the very definition of equilibrium.

Dynamic compressive strength properties of aluminium foams. Part I—experimental data and observations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the dynamic compressive response of closed-cell Hydro/Cymat aluminium foam with a direct impact technique for a range of velocities from 10 to 210 ms - 1.
