SUMMARY:A new concept for high strain rate testing of materials based on t

DESCRIPTION:Transient inertial effects are usually considered detrimental 
 in high strain rate testing procedures and design efforts have been focusi
 ng on limiting their influence on the test specimen response. This present
 ation will show how they can be used to an advantage as an embedded volume
  load cell when full-field deformation measurements are available. Inverse
  identification can then be performed\, relieving many constraints in the 
 design of the tests. This has the potential for an in-depth revisit of hig
 h strain rate testing procedures in the future.
