Most strain analysis packages generate a large amount of data, including strain rate, velocity, displacement, and time to peak for all the aforementioned variables, as well as the affording the ability to assess every segment.
We are grateful to Junichi Nakajima and Takuya Nishimura for providing us with seismic tomography data and with strain rate data, respectively.
Companion papers focus on problems associated with meshing and constitutive models and the use of material data at strain rates inappropriate to the problem.
Subsequent papers focus on problems associated with contact surfaces and material transport algorithms, constitutive models, and the use of material data at strain rates appropriate to the problem.
The experiments were carried out on a new drop weight test instrument, which provides mechanical data at strain rates up to 1000 s−1, filling the gap between conventional low speed instruments and split Hopkinson bar tests.
Using the uniaxial impact testing data overestimates the strain rate effect of concrete material under multi-axial stress states.
On the basis of the obtained data, the optimum strain rate for AMg-6 processing was estimated as one corresponding to the maximum of strain rate sensitivity index.
On the basis of the obtained data, the optimum strain rate for AMg-6 processing was determined as one corresponding to the maximum strain rate sensitivity.
The proposed model is validated against extensive experimental data including constant strain rate, cyclic displacement controlled, and cyclic stress controlled tests over a range of temperatures, strain rates, loading frequencies, and stress/strain levels/amplitudes.
GNSS data provide the total strain rate at the ground surface, which consists of elastic and inelastic strain.
Meanwhile, few of published data concerned the high strain rate behavior of polycarbonate during shock loading.
