Abstract: The apparatus described will shear bulk materials at strain rates from 2 × 10−5 /sec to 5 × 10−1 /sec while the materials are under nearly hydrostatic pressures. This apparatus gives ...

Abstract: The shear strengths of beryllium, uranium, and tungsten were measured at strain rates of 3.5 × 10−5 , 3.6 × 10−3 , and 3.7 × 10−1 sec−1 . The measurements were taken under ...
