Grady, D

High-resolution, time-resolved shock compression measurements have been performed on high-strength monolithic ceramics to assess equation-of-state, phase transformation and flow properties. A substantial base of data has been obtained on a range of ceramics including aluminium nitride, aluminum oxide, boron carbide, silicon carbide, titanium diboride and zirconium dioxide. These data provide material response properties for nonlinear elastic compliance, pressure-induced phase transformation, shear strength and tensile fracture strength. 14 refs., 8 figs.
