Internal Fractures in Spheres Due to Stress Wave Focusing
| Summary: | The locations and times of occurrence of internal fractures in Perspex spheres subjected to localized explosive loading are investigated. An analysis of stress wave reflection from free boundaries based on the method of geometrical acoustics is found to give predictions which are in good agreement with results obtained from high speed photographs. (c) 1977. |
