Temporal Softening and its Effect upon Spall Strength
Abstract
Metals subjected to compressive shock of sufficient intensity often undergo microstructural changes involving deformation localization and temporal softening. Temporal softening has a significant effect on the formation of damage (the material is much more susceptible to damage during the period of temporal softening). The present on polycrystalline M1 copper clearly exhibits this phenomenon.
