A note on the existing shock compression data of solid polycrystalline tungsten at 1223 K

  • 1. Army Materials and Mechanics Research Center, Watertown, Massachusetts 02172

Description

In the present paper we show that the low estimates of the Grueneisen parameter (γ) of tungsten derived from the shock compression experiments of Rohde are a manifestation of two errors: (i) The Hugoniot of tungsten at 1223 K as determined by Rohde is invalid and (ii) the assumption concerning the elastic-plastic behavior of tungsten at least at room temperature is not true
