Shock and release equation of state of calcite

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5672085
Studies were initiated to investigate the unloading response of carbonate minerals from high-pressure Hugoniot states between 10 to 100 GPa. A two-stage gun facility was used. Several impact experiments are reported on crystallite calcite for shock pressure below 10 GPa. Results are compared with other Hugoniot data on various calcium carbonate rocks and minerals. 11 figs.
