High strain rate testing of kidney stones.

Sections of struvite kidney stones were tested in compression at high strain rates ( approximately 3000s(-1)) using a Kolsky bar and at low strain rates ( < 0.001 s(-1)) using an Instron testing machine. The peak stress in both cases appeared to be similar. At high strain rates the values of...
