Shock loading and release behavior of x-cut quartz
Conference

OSTI ID:5625111
Results of release-adiabat measurements are reported for shock-loaded x-cut quartz over the stress range of 15 GPa to 110 GPa. Release paths determined from a shock stress of 15 GPa indicate a return to the original density, while measurements of release adiabats from shock stresses over 50 GPa, suggest release to be occurring primarily from and in the high density phase. Significant hysteretic effects are observed upon release and a retransformation to a low density phase is observed at lower stresses. Measurements of wave speeds in shocked quartz at stresses over 50 GPa indicate a decrease in wave speeds over the stress regime 71 to 108 GPa.
