Tonks, D L

Experimental velocity profiles for weak shock waves of a variety of metals are analyzed to determine the plastic strain, plastic strain rate, and deviatoric stress through the shock front. (A weak shock wave is one that is not yet overdriven, i.e. it has an elastic precursor.) A steady-wave weak shock analysis is used for most of the data. In some cases a numerical characteristics-code calculation is used to correct for reflections created when the steady wave passes through a sample-window interface or reflects from a free surface. (The effects of a sample-window interface are minor for windows closely matched in impedance to the sample.) The data are collected here in the form of the DataShoP database: Data (from) Sho(ckwave) P(rofiles). The data are presented in the form of both figures and tables. The tables are available on request on a floppy disk. The collection of data here is a repository of basic material high-strain-rate information for the modeler or theorist. Wave propagation calculations and other such analysis have already been performed leaving the user free to concentrate on questions of basic material behavior. 68 refs., 57 figs., 32 tabs.
