Abstract: This paper presents a method for analyzing the results of a Taylor impact test. From post-mortem measurements of final specimen length and final undeformed specimen length the dynamic material ...

Abstract: A direct method is proposed for the determination of stress, strain, strain-rate relations from dynamic flexural tests in which bending moment is given in terms of curvature and curvature rate, ...

Abstract: In this paper a system of constitutive relations for plane-strain finite deformation in strain-rate sensitive elastic-plastic materials is developed. A method is presented for computing the main ...

Abstract: In this paper, a simple theoretical analysis of an old problem is presented. The analysis is more complete than earlier versions, but retains the mathematical simplicity of the earlier versions. ...

Abstract: A new one-dimensional theory for estimating the dynamic yield strength of materials, based on post-test measurements of Taylor impact specimens, has been developed by the authors. This theory ...
