Compressive stress-strain curves were generated for a pressed and sintered mixture of polytetrafluoroethylene and aluminum powders. Experiments were performed at strain rates ranging from 0.001 to 8000/s using a servo-hydraulic load frame and a split Hopkinson pressure bar. High-rate experiments were also performed over a temperature range of 22-78 C. The data is fit to the Johnson-Cook and Modified Johnson-Cook constitutive equations and also to a Zerilli-Armstrong equation adapted for ...
