For armor applications, ceramic materials are often useful due to their high dynamic strength. In some instances, in addition to high strength, the armor must also be transparent, which significantly limits the choices of materials. Materials in the

Impact flash is a brief, intense flash of light released when a target is impacted by a hypervelocity particle. It is caused by emissions from a jet of shocked material which is thrown from the impact site. Impact flash phenomenology has been known f

Results of well-controlled experiments on shock-induced vaporization studies in zinc, indium, and aluminum are presented. A titanium alloy impact at a velocity of 10.4 km/s will melt these materials totally. The expansion products upon release will c

Results of an experimental series performed utilizing a three-stage gun to obtain precise material property equation of state (EOS) data for a titanium alloy (Ti6-Al-4V) at extreme pressure states that are not currently attainable using conventional
Pressure-shear experiments were performed on granular tungsten carbide and sand using a newly-refurbished slotted barrel gun. The sample is a thin layer of the granular material sandwiched between driver and anvil plates that remain elastic. Because
