SESAME equation of state for a polymer composite: Phenolic refrasil

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6418179
An equation of state (EOS) for phenolic refrasil has been constructed for the SESAME library as material number 7580. It is shown that the principal Hugoniot for this polymer composite cannot be described by simply mixing separate EOS for the two constitutents (phenolic and fiber glass). This result has serious implications for future work on composites and for the range of applicability of EOS number 7580. In the process of this work, an EOS for phenolic has also been constructed as material number 7570. 12 refs., 3 figs.
