In this paper, the analysis of multiple, embedded gauge measurements of large-amplitude plane waves is addressed and the use of wave similarity as a criterion for determining the preferred analytic approach is emphasized.
Abstract
Analysis of multiple, embedded gauge measurements of large‐amplitude plane waves is addressed. Although many of the developments are general, the emphasis is on the determination of stress and density fields from particle velocity measurements. Practical considerations for embedded particle velocity and stress gauge measurements are discussed. Difficulties with existing analysis methods are described. The use of wave similarity as a criterion for determining the preferred analytic approach is emphasized. Simple waves are easily analyzed using the approaches suggested by Fowles, Cowperthwaite, and Williams J. Appl. Phys. 41, 360 (1970); 42, 456 (1971)]. Nonsimple waves, of broader interest, are best analyzed using surfaces explicitly fit to measured histories and directly integrating the conservation equations. Analytic and numerical examples of the surface‐fitting procedure are presented. Uniqueness and verification of calculated results in past and present work are discussed.

Ramp compression of diamond to five terapascals

TL;DR: Ramp-compression measurements for diamond are described, which can be compared to first-principles density functional calculations and theories long used to describe matter present in the interiors of giant planets, in stars, and in inertial-confinement fusion experiments, and provide new constraints on mass–radius relationships for carbon-rich planets.

Dynamic compression of materials: metallization of fluid hydrogen at high pressures

Abstract: Dynamic high pressure is 1 GPa (10 kbar) or greater with a rise time and a duration ranging from 1 ps (10−12 s) to 1 µs (10−6 s). Today it is possible in a laboratory to achieve pressures dynamically up to ~500 GPa (5 Mbar) and greater, compressions as much as ~15-fold greater than initial density in the case of hydrogen and temperatures from ~0.1 up to several electronvolts (11 600 K). At these conditions materials are extremely condensed semiconductors or degenerate metals. Temperature can be tuned independently of pressure by a combination of shock and isentropic compression. As a result, new opportunities are now available in condensed matter physics at extreme conditions. The basic physics of the dynamic process, experimental methods of generating and diagnosing matter at these extreme conditions and a technique to recover metastable materials intact from ~100 GPa shock pressures are discussed.Results include (i) generation of pressure standards at static pressures up to ~200 GPa (2 Mbar) at 300 K, (ii) single-shock compression of small-molecular fluids, including resolution of the recent controversy over the correct shock-compression curve of liquid D2 at 100 GPa pressures, (iii) the first observations of metallization of fluid hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen compressed quasi-isentropically at 100 GPa pressures, (iv) implications for the interiors of giant planets within our solar system, extrasolar giant planets and brown dwarfs discovered recently and the equation of state of deuterium–tritium in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) and (v) prospects of recovering novel materials from extreme conditions, such as metastable solid metallic hydrogen. Future research is suggested.
