Isentropic compressive wave generator impact pillow and method of making same
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5374030
An isentropic compressive wave generator and method of making same. The wave generator comprises a disk or flat ''pillow'' member having component materials of different shock impedances formed in a configuration resulting in a smooth shock impedance gradient over the thickness thereof for interpositioning between an impactor member and a target speciment for producing a shock wave of a smooth predictable rise time. The method of making the pillow member comprises the reduction of the component materials to a powder form and forming the pillow member by sedimentation and compressive techniques.
