Analysis of combined Pressure-Shear Waves in and Elastic/Viscoplastic Material
Abstract
A numerical solution is presented for the case of symmetric impact of two skewed plates, modeled to represent 6061-T6 Aluminum. The main features of the solution are, except near the impact face, the same as in previous solutions based on a rate-independent theory. Free-surface velocity-time profiles are obtained for the target rear surface. These profiles indicate that the fine structure of the normal velocity should be resolvable by means of a laser velocity-interferometer.
