Shock compression of beryllium

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6469815

Shock/reshock and shock/release experiments have been performed on beryllium to obtain wave profile measurements spanning the stress range of 6 to 35 GPa. Particle velocity histories in the beryllium samples were determined using a velocity interferometer in conjunction with lithium fluoride windows. The shock velocity-particle velocity response of beryllium was obtained from the interferometer signals, which allowed determination of the Hugoniot for Be over the stress range studied.
