Air-Gun Studies of Ferroelectric Materials (Second Printing) (open access)

Air-Gun Studies of Ferroelectric Materials (Second Printing)

Specimens of two ferroelectric materials, barium titanate and lead-zirconate titanate, have been subjected to high dynamic stresses by impacting them with a projectile accelerated by an air gun. The purpose of these tests was to supplement information previously obtained using high explosives to stress the ferromagnetic materials.
