Experimental research on HEL and failure properties of alumina under impact loading

A series of plate impact experiments on alumina was conducted using a light gas gun in order to further investigate Hugoniot elastic limit (HEL) and failure properties of alumina under shock compression. The velocity interferometer system for any reflector (VISAR) was used to record the rear-free su...
