Shock metamorphism of ordinary chondrites

TL;DR: In this paper, a revised petrographic classification of progressive stages of shock metamorphism of 26 ordinary chondrites is proposed, based on thin section microscopy, and the characteristic shock effects of each shock stage are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Review of experimental techniques for high rate deformation and shock studies

TL;DR: In this paper, a variety of techniques used to obtain the mechanical properties of materials at high rates of strain (⩾10 s−1) are summarised, including dropweight machines, split Hopkinson pressure bars, Taylor impact and shock loading by plate impact.

Phase transitions, Grüneisen parameter, and elasticity for shocked iron between 77 GPa and 400 GPa

TL;DR: In this paper, sound velocities determined in liquid iron, shock compressed to pressures between 77 GPa and 400 GPa, indicate that two phase transitions exist on the Hugoniot.

Equation of State

TL;DR: The use of plane shock waves to determine the equations of state of condensed materials to very high pressure began in 1955 with the classic papers of Walsh and Christian (1955) and Bancroft et al. (1956) as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

The spall strength of condensed matter

TL;DR: In this paper, two conditions are proposed which place constraints on the processes of dynamic spall in condensed media, and determine inequalities which bound the spall strength, fragment size, and failure time.

Finite strain isotherm and velocities for single-crystal and polycrystalline NaCl at high pressures and 300°K

TL;DR: In this article, a large portion of the data is consistent, to within reasonable uncertainties, with the Eulerian formulation of finite strain, in the BE2 form, which contains three parameters, of which two, K0 and K0′, are obtainable from single-crystal ultrasonic measurements, while the third, K 0″, may be found with the aid of shock wave data.

Specific volume measurements of Cu, Mo, Pd, and Ag and calibration of the ruby R1 fluorescence pressure gauge from 0.06 to 1 Mbar

TL;DR: In this article, the wavelength shift with pressure of the ruby R1 fluorescence line (Δλ) has been calibrated in the diamond window pressure cell from 0.06 to 1 Mbar.
