Abstract
Numerical values are derived for the elastic stress fields in spheres under conditions of quasi-static compression and free impact against plane targets. The results are relevant to the brittle fracture of spheres under compression and impact loading and allow some anomalies observed in indirect methods of tensile testing to be clarified.Keywords
