Development of Shear Bands in Dynamic Plane Strain Compression of Depleted Uranium and Tungsten Blocks
Abstract
The initiation and growth of shear bands is studied in prismatic bodies of rectangular cross-section made of either depleted uranium or tungsten and deformed in plane strain compression at a nominal strain-rate of 5000/s. Results suggest that the value of the shear modulus plays a noticeable role in the development of shear bands. The effect of modeling the defects, as either very weak or very strong elements, on the initiation of shear band is also studied.
