Shock waves are common in polymer-based particulate composites that are subjected to intermediate to high-velocity impact loading. However, quantitative information on the spatial variation of stress, particle velocities, and energy dissipation during the formation and propagation of weak-shock waves is limited. In this paper, a systematic experimental study is conducted to understand the characteristics of weak-shocks in polymer-bonded particulate composites. Specimens made of polymer-bonded sugar were subjected to a projectile impact loading, at varying velocities, using a modified Hopkinson pressure bar apparatus. Full-field displacement and strains of the deformed samples were obtained with the help of an ultrahigh-speed imaging and digital image correlation technique. Using the full-field displacement data, the shock wave velocity, shock front thickness, and the full-field stress fields are calculated. From the spatial stress field and the strain rate data, the spatial energy dissipation profile is also estimated. The effect of impact velocity on the spatial stress profile, shock wave velocity, and energy dissipation are discussed.
