video: High-speed video of impact of a vascular epoxy sheet, angled view. This video is shown at 1/240 of the actual speed. Impact damage creates a central puncture with radiating cracks. This video is immediately after starting delivery of fluid streams. This image relates to a paper that appeared in May 9, 2014, issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by Scott White at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign in Urbana, Ill., and colleagues was titled, "Restoration of Large Damage Volumes in Polymers." view more
