Laser shock experiments to investigate and to model various aspects of the response of metals to shock loading

Laser driven shocks allow studying the dynamic behaviour of condensed matter over small spatial (∼μm to mm-order) and temporal (∼ps to ns-order) scales, at extremely high strain rates (∼107 s−1). They can be used to test the predictive capability of constitutive models over wide ranges of loading pr...
