Scope

This document specifies guidelines for testing metallic sheet materials to determine the stress-strain characteristics at high strain rates. This document covers the use of elastic-bar-type systems.
This test method covers the strain-rate range above 102 s−1.
NOTE            This testing method is also applicable to tensile test-piece geometries other than the flat test pieces considered here.
