Experimental Setup to Determine Stress Wave Propagation in a Compound Bar
Abstract: Deformation undergone by a body due to impact results in development of dynamic stresses. This deformation depends on the material properties and geometry. Advancements made in stress wave propagation are focused at the necessity to understand dynamic history of structures subjected to applied loads. Stress travels with different velocities in different bodies depending upon material characteristics, crystal structure etc. Forces applied on bodies at short intervals of time result in …
