Abstract:
Test results for different high-strength steel specimens in static and impact tension and compression over a wide range of strain rates were summarized. These data were used to calculate the generalized deformation curve. The calculations based on this curve were compared with the experimental data on impact indentation with the conical indenter to evaluate the applicability of this method for studying the behavior of metals at high strain rates.
