Abstract
The time-thickness variation of a film of Castor Oil was determined
under conditions of high intensity-short duration loading.
This was accomplished through the use of a light measurement technique
and a test unit designed and constructed at the United States
Naval Postgraduate School. Both the method and the test unit are
discussed in detail. The cases of a film between surfaces with and
without relative motion were investigated. The results, in the form
of oscilloscope trace photographs, show clearly indications of both
plastic and elastic behavior of the film under impact loading.
