Compressibility of iron, aluminum, molybdenum, titanium, and tantalum at shock-wave pressures of 1 -2.5 TPa
The compressibility of five metals at pressures of 1.0 (aluminum) to 2.5 (tantalum) TPa was investigated under laboratory conditions. The pressures were produced by the impact of a hemispherical steel shell, which was accelerated to velocities of 23 km/s by the explosion products of a converging detonation wave, against the samples. The experimental data are compared with the results obtained with strong shock waves from underground nuclear explosions. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
