Equation of state of aluminum-iron oxide-epoxy composite

Abstract: We report on the measurements of the shock equation of state (Hugoniot) of an Al∕Fe2O3/epoxy composite, prepared by epoxy cast curing of powder mixtures. Explosive loading, with Baratol, trinitrotoluene (TNT), and Octol, was used for performing experiments at higher pressures, in which case shock velocities were measured in the samples and aluminum, copper, or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) donor material, using piezoelectric pins. The explosive loading of the metal donors (aluminum and copper) will be discuss… Show more

“…It has been studied since the last century due to its wide use in the field of solid propellants and explosives. For instance, combustion of micron size Al particles was studied by Dreizin 1 and Jordan et al 2 using different experimental approaches. The effect of temperature on oxidation [3][4][5][6][7] and the effect of oxide shell on the surface [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] have been studied extensively, especially for nanosize Al particles.…”

“…After a period of 18 h, the mold is removed and allowed to cool gradually in an oven and subjected to a two-step heat-treating process to relieve internal stresses and maintain a strong bond between the phases of the composite. 23 The samples with strong bonding are nearly transparent, and the interfaces are difficult to see. A compression molded composite specimen (22% glass by volume) and a micrograph of the cross section are shown in Fig.…”

“…The Hugoniot state response appeared to be independent of particle size, but stress time profiles showed a dependence on particle size. Numerical simulations have been used to simulate multiphase materials including particulate composites 23 and granular materials 24 to understand the role of microstructure and geometry on shock properties. 25 The simulations have primarily focused on the Hugoniot and the equation of state (EoS) of heterogeneous materials and the shock structure has received relatively less attention.…”

“…There are several studies in the literature regarding the equation of state of AlaOs-epoxy [1][2][3][4][5] composites. Although these single component systems interact in a complex manner with shock waves, the addition of a second metal or ceramic particulate, such as in Al-FcaOs-epoxy [6,7] or Al-Mn02-epoxy, can result in even more complex interactions. The propagated wave in AlaOs-epoxy has been observed to be broadened [1] at low input stress due to the time available for viscous mechanisms.…”
