Thermodynamic parameters of mixtures with epoxy as a component under shock wave loading

The results of numerical experiments on modeling of shock wave loading of mixtures are obtained by using thermodynamic equilibrium model TEC (thermodynamic equilibrium components) are presented. The thermodynamic parameters are modeled for the mixtures that include epoxy resin as a component. The model allows taking into account the phase transition under shock wave loading, when the substance in the region of phase transition is considered as mixture of low-pressure phase and high-pressure phase. Interest in the investigation of compressibility of such mixtures is associated as with the possibility of creating materials that have the required properties and the properties of the materials themselves. The good agreement of these model calculations with the data of different authors that defined on the experiments basis is obtained. The model allows to describe dynamic loading of solid and porous mixtures comprising epoxy resin and various components such as quartz SiO₂, periclase MgO, corundum Al₂O₃, spinel MgAl₂O₄, enstatite Mg₂[Si₂O₆].
