Abstract
Hugoniot equations of state were determined for rock salt, granite, tuff, marble, dolomite, limestone, andesite, basalt, taconite, oil sand, and oil shale. In these determinations, plane hydrodynamic shocks were produced and transmitted to rocks, and the shock velocity and free-surface velocity were measured. The procedures and results are discussed. An instrument was developed which uses pin contactors to measure shock velocity and free-surface velocity in the rock not far from the explosion.Keywords
