Dynamic Mechanical Properties of Materials Measured by Plate Impact Experiments. (2nd Report. Aluminum Alloys).

Abstract

In order to study dynamic mechanical properties of the aluminum alloys A1 6061-T4 and A1 7075-T6, plate impact experiments with PVDF (Poly Vinylidene DiFluoride) stress gauges and the VISAR (Velocity Interferometer System for Any Reflector) were conducted using a shock gun system. From the experiments, we obtained the Hugoniot curves, the Hugoniot elastic limits and the spalling strengths of the alloys.
