Bounds are established on the errors associated with elastic-plastic strain wave measurements involving finite gage lengths. Attention is restricted to the case of one-dimensional wave propagation in a semi-infinite bar. A bi-linear model of the stress-strain behavior provides a means of calculating realistic upper and lower bounds on the relative error of amplitude measurements. Rise time errors are also discussed and illustrated.

A study is given of elastic-plastic boundaries which start at the end x = 0 of a rod in one-dimensional wave propagation. The initial speed of the elastic-plastic boundaries at x = 0 and at any time, say t = t0, is determined analytically for all possible combinations of the time derivative σt of the stress σ(0, t) before and after t = t0. If σt at x = 0 is continuous and vanishes at t = t0, all possible combinations of σtt before and after t = t0 are considered. The analysis also gives the number of regions involved, the derivatives in each region, and distinguishes elastic regions from plastic regions. These are useful guides for a numerical solution of general initial and boundary-value problems.

One-dimensional wave propagation theory is used to investigate the forces, velocities, and displacements in a series of elastic rods connected to rigid elements. The method is applied to the case of two subsystems that collide. The technique allows the calculations to be done during a short-lived event such as a collision.
