Second shock ejecta measurements with an explosively driven two-shockwave drive
2014
We develop and apply an explosively driven two-shockwave tool in material damage experiments on Sn. The two shockwave tool allows the variation of the first shockwave amplitude over range 18.5 to 26.4 GPa, with a time interval variation between the first and second shock of 5 to 7 μs. Simulations imply that the second shock amplitude can be varied as well and we briefly describe how to achieve such a variation. Our interest is to measure ejecta masses from twice shocked metals. In our application of the two-shockwave tool, we observed second shock ejected areal masses of about 4 ± 1 mg/cm2, a value we attribute to unstable Richtmyer-Meshkov impulse phenomena. We also observed an additional mass ejection process caused by the abrupt recompression of the local spallation or cavitation of the twice shocked Sn.
