Popis: | Using piezoelectric diagnostics, we have measured densities and velocities of ejected particulate as well as “free-surface velocities” of bulk tin targets shock loaded with high explosive. The targets had finely grooved, machined finishes ranging from 10 to 250μin. Two types of piezoelectric sensor (“piezopins”), lithium niobate and lead zirconate titanate, were compared for durability and repeatability; in addition, some piezopins were “shielded” with foam and metal foil in order to mitigate premature failure of the pins in high ejecta regimes. These experiments address questions about ejecta production at a given shock pressure as a function of surface finish; piezopin results are compared with those from complementary diagnostics such as x-ray radiography and time-resolved optical transmission techniques. The mass ejection shows a marked dependence on groove characteristics and cannot be described by a groove defect theory alone. |
