Title: Dynamic yielding of <110> oriented lithium fluoride
Description: This PhD dissertation (under the guidance of Prof. George E. Duvall) describes the phenomenon of two elastic and one plastic wave observed when a shock wave hits LiF crystal in (110) direction.  The two elastic waves are interpreted as the successive yielding of the known (100) and (111) yielding, with the right yield value and propagation velocity.
