Investigations of metals in the liquid and plasma states by use of shock waves

Equation of state for iridium at high pressures

“…Such processes take place, for example, during a high-speed collision of bodies [4][5][6], when a substance is exposed to intense laser radiation [7][8][9][10] or beams of high-energy particles [11][12][13], during an electric explosion of conductors [14][15][16][17]. The EOS essentially determines the correspondence of the results of numerical modeling to the physical characteristics of flows arising in the modeled process [2,18,19].…”
