Thermodynamic equation of state and application to Hugoniot predictions for porous materials

A thermodynamic equation of state (EOS) is derived which is appropriate for investigating the thermodynamic variations along isobaric paths. By using this EOS, a Hugoniot EOS model with a unified theoretical basis is proposed for predicting the shock compression behavior of porous materials. The mod...

Description
Summary:A thermodynamic equation of state (EOS) is derived which is appropriate for investigating the thermodynamic variations along isobaric paths. By using this EOS, a Hugoniot EOS model with a unified theoretical basis is proposed for predicting the shock compression behavior of porous materials. The model is tested on 2024 aluminum, copper, and tungsten which are the typical materials with low, intermediate, and high shock impedance, respectively, and commonly used as standards. The calculated Hugoniots for these three materials with different initial densities are in good agreement with the corresponding experimental data published previously. It shows that this Hugoniot EOS model can satisfactorily predict the Hugoniot of porous materials over a wide pressure range.
