A modified form of the Hopkinson bar technique has been applied to the study of stress pulses produced in a simple explosive-metal system. The results are used to illustrate the kind of information which can be obtained from such an experiment. This includes measurements of the pressure in the detonation wave, the changing shape of the stress pulse induced in the metal and the normal fracture stress of the metal.
