Influence of peak pressure and pulse duration on substructure development and threshold stress measurements in shock-loaded copper

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6453569
Based upon a study of the independent variation of peak pressure and pulse duration upon the shock loading response of OFE copper, the following conclusions can be drawn: (1) Increasing peak pressure or pulse duration was found to decrease the observed dislocation cell size and increase the yield strength and (2) the influence of pulse duration is attributed to the influence of reorganization time on the amount of dislocation generation during the rarefaction release.
