Explosive magnetic device with a three-layered liner for radiographic study of dynamic strength of materials

This paper presents the construction-technology schematic of the device comprising the helical and disk EMGs with a three-layered cylindrical liner (Al-dielectric-Cu) designed for experiments RHSR-0, 1, 2 at the current of 33-35 MA. Polyethylene or water was used as a dielectric layer. The experiments tested successfully the idea to study the dynamic strength of materials by X-raying the growth of amplitude of axisymmetric sinusoidal perturbations machined initially on the outer surface of the examined inner layer of the liner.
