Hugoniot Equation of State of Mylar
Abstract
The shock velocity of Mylar at zero stress, i.e., sound velocity, was measured using a pulse technique was found to br 2.23 mm/microsec with a standard deviation, S, of 0.037 mm/microsec. The experimentally derived stress-particle velocity data was fitted to a quadratic form using the principle of least squares. The data points were weighted according to the reciprocal of the product of the errors, i.e., the area of the rectangle occupied by the data on a stress-particle velocity plot. The curve was forced to pass through the origin.
