Movie 2

Typical high-speed video in recording the dynamic in-out bending of shell sample from its lateral view. The shell sample was shown in the middle of the field of view. The loading part of the impact tester translated from left to right in the video. Its velocity values before bending and after sample fracture were calculated by the movement of the white marker on its top surface.
