Effect of strength and plasticity of the material and particle size of a porous medium on shock-wave deformation

The process of dynamic deformation of shock-loaded cylindrical “porous” samples of lead, tungsten, and the 95% W + 3.5% Ni + 1.5% Fe alloy consisting of particles 0.1–2.5 mm in size is considered. The shock-wave intensity was slightly lower than the values corresponding to complete compaction of the material. The influence of the particle size and material strength and plasticity on the processes considered is examined.
