Problem 4
A 4 in. long steel bar impacts a 12 in. thick slab of 4340 steel at 1000 m/s and bounces off.
Assuming the impact is normal and using one-dimensional equations, determine
1. The duration of the impact event
Answer: t = 33.00 [μs]
2. The pressure developed at the interface
Answer: p

Problem 5
We would like to determine how fast a large fragment will be propelled by an explosion
using Hugoniots. Assume we have a 6 in. cube of steel that has a pressure of 5.0 GPa
applied to one face for 3 μs. Determine the velocity ...
