Abstrakt: Presents a study in which a three dimensional finite element computer simulation has been performed to assess the effects of release waves in normal impact soft-recovery experiments when a star-shaped flyer plate is used. Effects on the monitored velocity-time profiles; Factors attributed to the observed damage in compression and tension within this region; Effectiveness of the soft-recovery plate impact configuration in the characterization of brittle materials.
