DoITPoMS would like to thank the PCS Fracture and Shock Physics Group in the Cavendish Laboratory for the use of their high speed photography facilities.

This TLP was prepared when DoITPoMS was funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) and the Department for Employment and Learning (DEL) under the Fund for the Development of Teaching and Learning (FDTL).

Additional support for the development of this TLP came from the Armourers and Brasiers' Company and Alcan.
