If it is desired to obtain high rate mechanical data of materials at non-ambient temperatures
using the split Hopkinson (Kolsky) bar technique, it is necessary either to consider what …

Reinforced concrete pipes (RCP) are the mainstay of urban water transmission networks.
Urban development entails increased potential for blasting activities (such as subway …
