Hugoniot measurements in aluminum to 420 GPa using the LLNL two-stage light-gas gun

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5619498
Aluminum is a standard material for shock wave experiments. The increased velocity of our two-stage light-gas gun has been used to extend the range of previous aluminum measurements in order to reduce the gap between laboratory data and the data obtained with the nuclear driven shock impedance match methods. The experiments reported include direct collision Hugoniot measurements with tantalum impactors and reshock measurements using tantalum impactors and both platinum and copper anvils. 8 refs., 2 figs.
