Shear localization has been found to be an important and sometimes dominant deformation and fracture mode in metals, fractured and granular ceramics, polymers, and metallic glasses at high strains and strain rates. Experiments involving the collapse of a thick walled cylinder enable controlled and reproducible application of plastic deformation at very high strain rates to specimens. These experiments were supplemented by hat-shaped specimens tested in a compression Hopkinson bar. The initiation and propagation of shear bands has been studied in metals (Ti, Ta, Ti–6Al–4V, and stainless steel), granular and prefractured ceramics (Al O and SiC), a polymer (teflon) and a metallic glass (Co Ni Fe Si B ). 2 3 58 10 5 11 16 T
