A technique for studying the response of materials to high rate, high strain deformation

A gas-gun technique is described in which a thick-walled cylinder of a chosen solid may be collapsed over a wide range of effective strains, and at shear strain-rates of the order 104 s−1. Two variants of the basic concept are described. Initially a 70 mm bore gun wa...
