Abstract
The release of solids from a state of shock compression at a free surface is examined. For isentropic release, the postshock specific volume V′0 is shown to be constrained by V′0? (Ufs−Up)2/P1+V1, where (P1,V1) is the pressure‐volume Hugoniot state of shock compression and Ufs and Up are the free‐surface and shock particle velocities, respectively. When a sudden phase change occurs during the release process, this lower bound is increased, subject to simplifying assumptions about the phase transition.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
