Kinetics of Void Nucleation and Growth at Grain Boundaries on Shock Loaded Copper Bicrystals

abstract: Shock loading produces a compressive stress pulse with steep gradients in density, temperature, and pressure that are also often modeled as discontinuities. When a material is subject to these dynamic (shock) loading conditions, fracture and deformation patterns due to spall damage can ari...
