Tantalum strength at extreme strain rates from impact-driven Richtmyer-Meshkov instabilities
Abstract
Recently, Richtmyer-Meshkov instability (RMI) experiments driven by high explosives and fielded with perturbations on a free surface have been used to study strength at extreme strain rates and near zero pressure. The RMI experiments reported here used impact loading, which is experimentally simpler, more accurate to analyze, and which also allows the exploration of a wider range of conditions. Three experiments were performed on tantalum at shock stresses from 20 to 34 GPa, with six different perturbation sizes at each shock level, making this the most comprehensive set of strength-focused RMI experiments reported to date on any material. The resulting estimated average strengths of 1200–1400 MPa at strain rates of 107/s exceeded, by 40% or more, a common power law extrapolation from data at strain rates below 104/s. Taken together with other data in the literature that show much higher strength at simultaneous high rates and high pressure, these RMI data isolated effects and indicated that, in the range of conditions examined, the pressure effects are more significant than rate effects.
