The Dynamic Behaviour of Filled-Glass

ORAL

Abstract

A series of plate impact experiments has been performed to assess the dynamic behaviour of a filled-glass (Schott SF-57) in both longitudinal and lateral orientations. Information was obtained for the Hugoniot curve and dynamic shear stress properties using manganin gauges. High-speed photography was also utilised to obtain qualitative information on the kinetics of failure. Results are compared and contrasted against published data on other filled-glasses.
