Mixture Model for Determination of Shock Equation of State

Abstract

Simple mixture models for the prediction of shock equations of state (Hugoniot) are a necessary tool for characterization of multiple composites. A mixture model for determining the shock equation of state of composite materials is presented. The model is completely flexible allowing for multiple (>2) components. Additionally, error propagation analysis for the two component mixture model has been accomplished. The model predicts the equation of state to 5%-15% of the experimental data, which is comparable to variations realized in meso-scale modeling of similar materials.
