Strain-Rate Effects in Beryllium under Shock Compression

摘要

Shock wave experiments were conducted on beryllium over the range of 6 to 25 GPa. A steady wave analysis of the shock front was used to estimate effective viscosities achieved during the loading process, which were found to vary approximately as the inverse square root of strain rate for strain rates greater than about 3 mu s exp -1 .
