Kipp, M. E.; Grady, D. E.

Shock compression and release particle velocity data have been obtained for silicon carbide, titanium diboride, boron carbide, and zirconium dioxide with a laser velocity interferometer (VISAR). Peak impact stresses in these experiments range between 20 and 50 GPa. Iterative numerical methods were used to obtain dynamic compression and release stress-strain behavior of the ceramics. 16 refs., 4 figs., 3 tabs.
