Stress waves

Welbourn, D. B.

Scope and content

Welbourn suggests that SZ and colleagues were wasting their time in carrying out work described in their paper "An experimental study of the wounding mechanism of high velocity missiles." He feels that any expert on stress-wave propagation would have been able to predict most of their experimental results mathematically. Welbourn describes stress waves within a body which is hit by a projectile.
