Dynamic buckling of thin metallic rings under external pressure

The main aim of this thesis is to gain insight through experiments into how the deformation characteristics of a thin ring made of a metallic material such as aluminum depend on the strain-rate. More precisely, this study investigates the buckling behavior of thin metallic rings subjected to a dynam...
