Abstract
There is a linear relationship between certain normalized lengths in recovered Taylor Impact specimens. This observation seems to have first been made by J. W. House, although G. I. Taylor and A. C. Whiffen both produced graphs involving these same scaled variables. However, no explanation was given for this scaling and it was not used for any specific purpose. In this paper, a theoretical basis for the linearity is established and the slope and intercept are used to determine several important physical parameters. These parameters are then used to determine the state of stress at strain-rates exceeding 10 4/s. This information is useful because it helps to bridge the strain-rate gap between Split-Hopkinson pressure bar testing and the ultra-high rates achieved with plate impact experiments.
