Abstract:One dimensional planar compression-shear loading acting on the materials,which were cohered to the bact of quartz pieces was realized by using Y-cut α quartz crystals with their linearly elastic anisotropic dynamic response nature. Electric-magnetic particle velocity method was adopted to measure the movement of particles on different places in the materials. In the experiments,two-wave construction of compression-shear waves that propagated into the materials were observed clearly,the longitudinal and transverse particle velocity histories reflected fetures of dynamic response of materials under compression-shear loading. These results agreed with that from theoretic estimates on the whole.
