Most measurements of compressive strength of ductile materials have involved Hopkinson-Kolsky bars or Taylor anvils placing samples in uniaxial compression. In these geometries strain is limited by the tendency of the sample to petal, in analogy to necking in uniaxial tension. Estimation of strength for any other form of the stress tensor requires assuming a shape for the yield surface; because data exist only for uniaxial compression these assumptions are untested. In an imploding spherical shell compression is biaxial, the plastic strain may not be small and the material behavior may be nonlinear as a result of work hardening and heating by plastic work. We propose to measure the strengths of materials in biaxial compression, both quasistatically and dynamically, using the compression of thin spherical shells. We suggest surrounding the shell with an annulus filled with a mixture of H 2 and Cl 2 gases whose volumetric detonation is initiated by a flash of blue and near-ultraviolet light. Less promising approaches are described in appendices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
