Abstract: An approximate dynamic equilibrium pressure p -specific volume V relation exists for porous materials of a simple type undergoing mutliple shock compaction processes. A copper powder medium in ...

Abstract: The previous theoretical predictions of the compaction of a copper powder medium, based on the assumption that the punch and plug were both a rigid body, did not satisfactorily agree with the ...

Abstract: In the present paper, the multishock compaction process of a die-contained copper powder medium supported by an elastic plug at one end and impacted by an elastic punch at the other end, is ...

Abstract: In an earlier paper [4], two sets of equations which governed the processes of propagation of shock waves reflected from the punch and plug surfaces in a die-contained copper powder medium ...
