| Popis: | Shock compression experiments are carried out on gold foam with an initial density of 3.2 g/cm3 through indirectly laser-driven shock waves at the SG-III prototype laser facility. The impedance-matching technique is applied to determine the equation-of-state (EOS) data of the shocked gold foam. A passive shock breakout diagnostic system is employed to obtain the shock velocities in both the standard material and gold foam. The gold foams are compressed to a maximum density of 20 g/cm3 under a shock pressure of about 2 TPa. The effects of the unsteadiness of shock waves on the EOS measurement are quantitatively analyzed and corrected. The correction of unsteady waves, as well as the good planarity of the shock waves and the low preheating of the gold foam, contributes high-confidence EOS data for the gold foam. The corrected experimental data are compared with the Hugoniot states from the SESAME library. The comparison suggests that the database is suitable for describing the states of gold foam with an initial density of 3.2 g/cm3 under a pressure of about 2 TPa. |
