On the propagation of stress waves in viscoelastic rods for Hopkinson bar studies

The propagation of stress waves in long polymer rods forms the basis of two major experimental techniques. The first is a modified Split-Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) arrangement that employs polymer Hopkinson bars (as opposed to metallic bars) in order to determine the high strain-rate mechanical p...
