Dynamic response of shock-loaded multi-component glasses

Alexander, Charles S.; Vogler, Tracy J.; Reinhart, William D.; Chhabildas, L.C.

Glass, in various formulations, may be useful as a transparent armor material. Fused quartz (SiO{sub 2}), modified with either B{sub 2}O{sub 3} (13 % wt.) or Na{sub 2}O (15 % wt.), was studied to determine the effect on the dynamic response of the material. Utilizing powder and two-stage light gas guns, plate impact experiments were conducted to determine the effect on strength properties, including the elastic limits and plastic deformation response. Further, the effect of glass modification on known transitions to higher density phases in fused quartz was evaluated. Results of these experiments will be presented and discussed.
