Experimental Hugoniot Data of Porous Silica

ORAL

Abstract

A series of impact experiments were conducted at Cambridge University, Cavendish Laboratory to experimentally determine the Hugoniot of various densities of porous silica dust. The densities investigated were 0.1, 0.25, and 0.77 g cm-3. The experiments were conducted up to ca. 2.3 GPa in the Silica. Individual experimental results and the resulting P-V and Us-up Hugoniot are discussed and presented.
