摘要
Some of the main progress on the investigation of the mechanism of the wave formation in explosive welding at the Institute of Mechanics is summarized and otters'previous works are re- viewed.Our systematic experiments and analysis do not substantiate the theory of wave formation based on Karman vortex-street analogy or Helmholtz instability.On the contrary,they show that materi- al strength insensitive to strain rate plays an important role.A simple hydro-plastic model is presented to explain the main features regarding the interracial wave formation and to estimate the magnitude of wave length.The result is in broad agreement with experiment.
