Pyrometric Measurement of the Temperature of Shocked Molybdenum
Achim Seifter, Damian C. Swift
Measurements of the temperature of Mo shocked to ~60 GPa and then released to ~28 GPa were previously attempted using high explosive driven flyer plates and pyrometry. Analysis of…
Dynamic plasticity of beryllium in the inertial fuel fusion capsule regime
Damian C. Swift, Thomas E. Tierney, Sheng-Nian Luo +6
The plastic response of beryllium was investigated during loading by laser-induced shock waves, using surface velocimetry and in-situ x-ray diffraction. Results from loading by the…
Shock and Release Temperatures in Molybdenum
Damian C. Swift, Achim Seifter, David B. Holtkamp +1
Shock and release temperatures in Mo were calculated, taking account of heating from plastic flow predicted using the Steinberg-Guinan model. Plastic flow was calculated self-consi…
Numerical solution of shock and ramp compression for general material properties
Damian C. Swift
A general formulation was developed to represent material models for applications in dynamic loading. Numerical methods were devised to calculate response to shock and ramp compres…
On High Explosive Launching of Projectiles for Shock Physics Experiments
Damian C. Swift, Charles A. Forest, David A. Clark +3
The hydrodynamic operation of the `Forest Flyer' type of explosive launching system for shock physics projectiles was investigated in detail using one- and two-dimensional continuu…
