Effect of void-size distribution on the Hugoniot state at low shock pressures
In most theoretical and experimental investigations into the shock response of underdense solid media, the influence of the medium's mesostructure on the resulting pressure and degree of compaction has not been taken into account. In typical cases examined, shock pressures are well in excess of 1 GPa and this approach is clearly justified. However, at low pressures, calculations show that the distribution of void sizes can affect the final state achieved upon shocking the medium from a given initial porosity. This paper analyzes the response of porous aluminum to low pressure shocking and demonstrates a dependence of the final shocked state on the distribution of void sizes.
