A suggested technique for determining in-material longitudinal and shear particle velocity histories in a single-inclined-plate impact experiment

A technique has recently been developed for the internal measurement of longitudinal and shear particle velocity histories in an inclined-plate impact experiment. Measurements must be made in two experiments having identical impact conditions in order to uniquely determine both quantities. A modification to the technique is suggested which will allow both to be uniquely determined in a single experiment, thus avoiding the complication of having to exactly reproduce the impact configuration.
