Abstract
Two types of shock wave experiments have been conducted on samples of Blair dolomite. The first employed a light‐gas gun to produce uniaxial strain, while the second used a spherical high‐explosive charge to cause radial divergent flow. Comparisons of data taken from these two types of experiments (at strain rates of 106/s and 104/s, respectively) with quasi‐static data (at 10−4/s) show that Blair dolomite is strongly time dependent in its behavior. This time dependence appears over the entire stress interval from 0.24 to 5.33 GPa.
