The Epsilon-Phase Hugoniot of Rolled Homogeneous Armor.

Abstract

The epsilon-phase Hugoniot of rolled homogeneous armor (RHA) has been determined by impact experiments and compared with the epsilon-phase Hugoniot of iron. Results for RHA suggest a slightly greater volume offset at the alpha-epsilon phase transformation and slightly stiffer behavior at higher stresses. Risetime of the second plastic wave and attenuation of the first plastic wave are in close agreement for RHA and iron, suggesting similar transformation kinetics. (Author)
