Recent advances in shock and quasi-isentropic compression techniques for dynamic material property studies
In this paper, measurements on the quasi-isentropic compression of tungsten to stress levels of 250 GPa are reported. Results of these experiments have been compared to those obtained under shock loading conditions to comparable stresses. These experiments have allowed the determination of temperature, pressure, and loading rate effects on the dynamic yield strength of tungsten up to 250 GPa. These results show that the dynamic yield strength of tungsten is dependent on the loading rate with the strength being higher for the relatively slower rates of loading along the quasi-isentropic. The pressure dependence of the yield strength of tungsten is determined nearly independent of temperature effects from quasi-isentropic loading experiments to 250 GPa, because the temperature rise in an quasi-loading experiment is much lower than those associated with shock loading experiments.
