Compression and rarefaction waves in shock-compressed metals

Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The behavior of duralumin and copper is studied under conditions of specimen loading by two successive shock waves and during unloading after the shock compression. The amplitude of the first shock wave was 150–250 kbar. Direct measurements were performed of the difference in main stresses behind the shock front in duralumin. The results obtained do not agree with existing concepts of the behavior of solids under dynamic loading. Possible causes of this divergence are considered.
