Abstract: Elastic wave propagation in the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) is discussed with an emphasis on the origin and nature of the oscillations that often trail the leading edge of the pressure ...

Abstract: The local heat-transfer coefficient at the surface of a component placed in combustor exhaust gases can be determined from an analysis of surface temperature oscillations induced by fluctuations ...

Abstract: A novel experiment has been developed to induce inhomogeneous deformations under simple extension boundary conditions. By appropriate prior cold working of stock material and fabrication of test ...

Abstract: Sheet and rod stock of 304L stainless steel were tested in uniaxial tension and compression at strain rates between 10−4 s−1 and 104 s−1 . To evaluate the yield locus behavior of the sheet ...

Abstract: A novel experiment has been developed to induce inhomogeneous deformations under simple extension boundary conditions. By appropriate prior cold working of stock material and fabrication of test ...

Abstract: The freely expanding ring test (ERT) is a conceptually simple test for determining the stress-strain behavior of materials at large strains and at high strain rates. This test is conducted by ...

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental study of the strain-rate and temperature dependence of the yield stress for three low carbon steels (percent c = 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4). Tension test results ...

Abstract: A numerical investigation of the tensile test using a finite-difference, one-dimensional elasto-viscoplastic code is presented. The influence of strain rate, strain rate sensitivity, and inertia ...
