Abstract: The purpose of this Brief Note is to demonstrate the feasibility of using commercial manganin stress gauges in dynamic uniaxial stress experiments. This was demonstrated by measuring the stress-time ...

Abstract: The purpose of this Brief Note is to present experimental stress-time histories along the centerline of impulsively loaded aluminum rods. The measurement is based on the double gauge technique ...

Abstract: A series of approximately 150 tests were conducted on ceramic targets struck by cylindro-conical hard-steel projectiles at normal incidence up to velocities of about 1000 m/s. The primary objective ...
