Some new developments in shock wave research

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5832182

Experimental techniques are discussed for studying continuous loading of materials to high dynamic pressures, for estimating shear strength of shock-loaded solids at high pressures, and for generating two-dimensional stress states in plate impact experiments. These methods are useful in a variety of applications involving equation of state, phase transition and shear strength studies in dynamic experiments.
