Double shock experiments on the sandia z machine

Hanshaw, Heath L.; Knudson, Marcus D.; Martin, Matthew; Desjarlais, Michael P.; Lemke, Raymond W.

The double shock layered high-velocity flyer plate is one new capability being developed on Sandia's Z machine. With this technique, dynamic material data at high energy densities can be obtained at points in phase space which lie neither on principal Hugoniots nor on quasi-isentropic ramp curves. We discuss the double shock capability development experiments being performed on Z. © 2012 American Institute of Physics.
