  • Abstract
    Magnetically-applied pressure-shear (MAPS) is a recently developed technique to directly measure material shear strength using magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) pulsed power platforms [1,2]. The method has been prototyped on Sandia´s Veloce pulser, but was limited to strength measurements at modest pressures of ~10 GPa. Our present aim is to develop MAPS into a robust technique to measure strength at higher pressures achievable on Sandia´s Z pulsed power machine.
