Abstract

The response of metals to shock loading is affected by a number of factors, including the unit cell and properties that affect the motion and generation of dislocations such as stacking fault energy and the Peierls stress. In an effort to increase the understanding in this area, we have chosen to investigate the response of two near ideal materials; copper as an fcc and tantalum as a bcc. We have also investigated each material in both an annealed and cold worked to 50% reduction in thickness in an attempt to understand how differences in dislocation density affect response. Measurements have been made using standard diagnostics, including stress gauges and Photonic Doppler Velocimetry as well as analysis of the shocked microstructural and mechanical response through one-dimensional recovery.
