dc.description.abstract |
Encapsulated wire-element stress gauges enable changes in lateral stress during
shock loading to be directly monitored. However, there is substantial debate
with regards to interpretation of observed changes in stress behind the shock
front; a phenomenon attributed both to changes in material strength and shock-
dispersion within the gauge-encapsulation. Here, a pair of novel techniques
which both modify or remove the embedding medium where such stress gauges are
placed within target materials have been used to try and inform this debate. The
behavior of three polymeric materials of differing complexity was considered,
namely polystyrene, the commercially important resin transfer moulding RTM 6
resin and a commercially available fat lard. Comparison to the response of
embedded gauges has suggested a possible slight decrease in the absolute
magnitude of stress. However, changing the encapsulation has no detectable
effect on the gradient behind the shock in such polymeric systems. |
