1 1/8 inch diameter cylinder, and a 1/2 inch threaded extension was
first rubbed thoroughly with the pencil; then graphite flakes were
rubbed on with a cotton applicator.
A Teflon coating was applied to the steel surface by covering
the rod with 1/2-inch wide by 0.006-inch thick Teflon "Temp-R-Tape."
Two layers of tape were applied to the rod, care being taken so that
no two of the longitudinal butted joints occurred in the same place.
Preliminary tests indicated that concrete rods 1 1/8 and 2 inches
in diameter by 15 inches long would "fit" the combination of forces
available from the shock tube and the expected friction forces.
To
provide for possible extensions to the study, the aggregate used was
chosen for is availability and reproducibility of size, surface
texture, and shape.

STATIC TESTS
To determine the relation between the confining pressure applied
to the rod (when the membrane is evacuated) and the total normal force
at the sand/rod interface, two auxiliary tests were conducted.
The
first of these consisted of a smooth steel plate upon which a singlegrain layer of sand was cemented.
on the sand and a normal force applied by means of weights (Figure 14a).
The static friction force required to initiate slip was then measured
by siphoning water into the loading bucket, whence the value of ps
was obtained.
In the second auxiliary test a sawed 2-inch '.iameter mortar rod was
embedded in the sand with its flat surface up ( igure 1 4b) and normal
loads were applied to this upper surface (the sand was restrained from
heaving by metal plates).

DYNAMIC TESTS
After mounting and aligning the sample on the test trock, the
piston assembly on which the shock wave impinges to transfer the forcing
function to the rod was then set in place (Figure 16); the piston rod
and test rod were separated by a thin rubber gasket and kept in contact
by means of springs.
The body of the LVDT used to measure the velocity of the test
rod (Appendix B) was clamped to supports in front of the housing and
its core threaded to the end of the test rod (Figure 17).

The only
other study that could be found relevant to this question was made by
Kennedy (4) who worked with a 16-inch-diameter membrane-encased sand
sample having a concentric 7-inch-diameter steel pipe.
Kennedy concluded
the dynamic test by a static test should not alter the value of Pd that
would b- c' ,iined and would provide test data under essentially the
same initial conditions.

Examination
of the data shows that the coefficient of wall friction depends not
only cn the nature of the surface involved but alao on the angularity
and roughness of the sand grains in relation to the roughness of the
surface itself.
mortar rod the angle of wall friction essentially equalled the angle
of shearing resistance of the sand, which implies sand/sand slip.

Figure 25 shows a typical output trace obtained from the LVDT.
At the lower left hand corner of the photograph a sharp downward "blip"
is observed; this is the output from the time mark generator.
About
1.1 ms later, the shock wave impinged on the piston assembly and
transferred the forcing function to the test rod and surrounding sand,
thereby accelerating the entire assembly.
up against the reaction ring, the rod velocity became constant until
rod/sand slip occurred (about 1.7 ms after the forcing function first

slip took place) a 1200-1500 cycle/sec disturbance developed in the

This
phenomenon was also observed in the capped gages, although the amplitude

First,
the area of Che piston was taken as the magnitude of the forcing function,
which is shown plotted in Figure 2.
the sidewalls of the shock tube, the shock wave velocity and the overpressure were measured directly, which permitted comparing of the
theoretical reflected pressure on the piston with that actually
recorded (1).
about 7-10 percent greater than the pressure actually recorded by the
gages.

Inside the

If direct current is fed to the primary coil, the core is converted
into a magnet, setting up a flux field around it.
the flux field moves through the secondary coils, inducing a direct
current voltage whose magnitude is proportional to the speed of the
core, and whose phase is determined by the direction of motion of the
