Shock viscosity and the calculation of steady shock wave profiles

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5717810

A model is developed which incorporates experimental data on viscous-like behavior of solids during large amplitude compressive stress-wave propagation. Maximum strain rate in the plastic wave has been determined for wave profiles in eight materials obtained with velocity interferometry methods. A plot of strain rate versus Hugoniot stress for each material is described by eta - ..cap alpha..sigma/sup 4/. The model is capable of reproducing the experimental data for steady-wave profiles, and also correctly predicts the evolution of the waves as they approach steady state. 6 refs., 4 figs.
