Nonisentropic Release of a Shocked Solid
2020
We present molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of shock and release in micron-scale tantalum crystals that exhibit post-breakout temperatures far exceeding those expected under the standard assumption of isentropic release. We show via an energy-budget analysis that this is due to plastic-work heating from material strength that largely counters thermoelastic cooling. The simulations are corroborated by experiments where the release temperatures of laser-shocked tantalum foils are deduced from their thermal strains via in situ x-ray diffraction, and are found to be close to those behind the shock.
