Shock-Wave Compressions of Twenty-Seven Metals. Equations of State of Metals

Abstract
An explosive system is used to drive a strong shock wave into a plate of 24ST aluminum. This shock wave propagates through the 24ST aluminum into small test specimens which are in contact with the front surface of the plate. A photographic technique is used to measure velocities associated with the 24ST aluminum shock wave and with the shock wave in each specimen.
