Hugoniot Elastic Limits and Compression Parameters for Brittle Materials

摘要

The physical properties of brittle materials are of interest because of the rapidly expanding use of these material in high-pressure and shock wave techology, e.g., geophysics and explosive compaction as well as military applications. These materials are characterized by unusually high sonic velocities, have large dynamic impedances and exhibit large dynamic yield strengths. (ERA citation 04:053457)
