The shape and magnitude of an energetically driven shock wave as it passes through a recipient device or sensor are critical factors that influence the performance and integrity of the device. Here we report on the design and analysis of a coupled energetic train and sensor system using the Sandia-developed strong shock physics code, CTH. We have investigated several strategies for reducing the curvature and manipulating the shape of energetically-driven shock waves to more closely match the ideal profile that the sensor is designed for. Flat flyer plates and wave-shaped disks are promising in certain applications. Experimental validation of the theoretical results is also underway and briefly described here. ©2009 Society for Experimental Mechanics Inc.
