...Enrico Ferri; V. S. Deshpande; A. G. Evans Dynamic out-of-plane compressive testing was used to characterize the dynamic strength of stainless steel prismatic cores with representative double layer topology to be employed in sandwich panels for blast protection. Laboratory-scaled samples...

... surface of brittle materials is not well characterized (or even defined), and the failure process may change the material properties. Recently, some works have shown that it is possible to characterize and find the constitutive equation for brittle materials using a confined compression test, i.e., a test...

... system is constructed to measure the rise in temperature of a polymer during high strain rate compression testing. Temperature measurements were made using a high-speed mercury-cadmium-telluride (HgCdTe) single-element photovoltaic detector sensitive in the mid-infrared spectrum ( 6 – 12 μ m ) , while...

..., is theoretically analyzed on the basis of the asymptotic method. The theoretical results are compared with experimental ones obtained from a compression test realized on an elastic tube inserted in a foam. It is found that the Euler pressure and the associated buckling mode index strongly depend upon...
