Obtaining the zero-temperature equation of state from shock data

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5383499

The Mie-Gruneisen theory of obtaining the zero-temperature equation of state from experimental shock wave data is reviewed. A study of certain commonly used forms of the Gruneisen parameter is made and the resulting equations of state are presented. These results indicate the limitations on the use of this procedure and suggest improvements for the calibration of pressure measurements in diamond anvil cells. 11 references.
