Use of a Rotating-Drum Camera for Recording Impact Loading Deformations

D. F. Muster, E. G. Volterra

The details of a rotating-drum camera are described. The camera is used to record displacement-time data for short cylindrical specimens made of a rubberlike material which are subjected to compressive impact loadings lasting from 5 to 20 milliseconds. The auxiliaries to the camera are discussed in light of the particular needs of a study being conducted on the dynamic properties of plastics and rubberlike materials.
