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