Abstract
Flat‐plate impact experiments were performed on polycarbonate specimens to produce various levels of fracture damage. Nucleation and growth functions for incipient shock damage were deduced from the observed damage and from measured and computed stress histories. These functions allow quantitative prediction of the shock damage produced by arbitrary stress histories in polycarbonate.Keywords
