SHOCK TRANSMISSION THROUGH A SOLID-SOLID INTERFACE

Abstract

When a plane shock wave moving through one material meets an interface with a new material, the shock is transmitted at a different strength into the target material and a new wave is reflected back into the parent material. The strength of the transmitted wave is determined in this report for the case when both materials are solid and can be described by a Mie-Gruneisen equation of state.
