Abstract
Strain mechanism of a borosilicate glass was investigated using manganin gauges in two types of shock‐wave experimental assemblies. A method is proposed to obtain the pressure‐specific volume an the deviatoric stress‐specific volume planes. Above the HEL (∼75kbar), the borosilicate undergoes a significant, but not complete, loss of shear strength, and the material shows a viscoplastic behavior. The two‐wave structure, obtained above the HEL, seems consistent with the densification of glass.Keywords
