Description of “Hot Spots” Associated with Localized Shear Zones in Impact Tests

  • Chapter
Shock Waves and High-Strain-Rate Phenomena in Metals

Abstract

A heat sensitive film technique has been employed to give spatial resolution to the observation of “hot spots” in the impact deformation of soft ionic or molecular crystals and in crystal-filled polymer composites. The temperature of these “hot spots” is estimated to exceed 250°C for even modest impact loads. The heating is interpreted to depend on local shear deformation.
