Abstract

The plane-stress theory presented in Part 1 is shown to predict qualitatively the warping of plane sections observed in transient fringe patterns obtained using birefringent coatings and in dynamic photoelastic pictures obtained in other investigations. Measurements using conventional techniques are described in which wide rectangular bars were subjected to a longitudinal step-function pressure loading produced by a shock tube. Comparisons show that the gross features of the experimental records for the head of the pulse are qualitatively predicted by the theory. Both theory and experiment show that short-wavelength, second-mode disturbances arrive very early. Experimentally it is observed that these disturbances are accomplished by thickness-mode activity which cannot be accounted for by the plane-stress theory.
