Ultrahigh Strength in Nanocrystalline Materials Under Shock Loading
Eduardo M. Bringa,Eduardo M. Bringa,Alfredo Caro,Alfredo Caro,Yinmin Wang,Yinmin Wang,Maximo Victoria,Maximo Victoria,James McNaney,James McNaney,Bruce Remington,Bruce Remington,Raymond F. Smith,Raymond F. Smith,Ben Torralva,Ben Torralva,Helena Van Swygenhoven,Helena Van Swygenhoven +17 more
TL;DR: Molecular dynamics simulations of nanocrystalline copper under shock loading show an unexpected ultrahigh strength behind the shock front, with values up to twice those at low pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI
An experimental study of the superelastic effect in a shape-memory Nitinol alloy under biaxial loading
TL;DR: In this article, tension-torsion tests are conducted on thin-walled tubes of the polycrystalline superelastic/shape-memory alloy Nitinol using various loading/unloading paths under isothermal conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laser-Driven Plasma Loader for Shockless Compression and Acceleration of Samples in the Solid State
J. Edwards,K. T. Lorenz,Bruce Remington,S. W. Pollaine,J. D. Colvin,David Braun,Barbara F. Lasinski,David Reisman,James McNaney,J. A. Greenough,R. J. Wallace,H. Louis,Daniel H. Kalantar +12 more
TL;DR: A new method for shockless compression and acceleration of solid materials is presented, where a plasma reservoir pressurized by a laser-driven shock unloads across a vacuum gap and piles up against an Al sample thus providing the drive.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, a suite of ablator performance parameters, including the time-resolved radius, velocity, mass, and thickness, have been determined throughout the acceleration history of surrogate gas-filled implosions.

TL;DR: The National Ignition Facility (NIF) successfully completed its first inertial confinement fusion (ICF) campaign in 2009 and a neutron time-of-flight (nTOF) system was part of the nuclear diagnostics used in this campaign.
