A flier-plate material with graded impedance used in dynamic high-pressure physics

Abstract

By using such flier-plate material, quasi-isentropic compression can be realized. Based on it, hypervelocity launching is further accomplished. As a result, an extremely high dynamic pressure can be obtained in laboratory, offering a practical method for the comprehensive determination of materials behavior, response, equation-of-state and properties in dynamic loading process.

Keywords
