INVESTIGATION OF SHOCK-WAVE CHARACTERISTICS OF POROUS MULTICOMPONENT MATERIALS UNDER EXPLOSIVE LOADING BY UNDISTURBING ELECTROMAGNETIC METHOD

This paper deals with developing a remote electromagnetic technique fo r studying shock-wave behavior of porous multi-component materials. Th e main peculiarity of the method proposed is that both pulse magnetic field source and inductive gauge are placed outside the tested sample. That is why this procedure does introduce no disturbances to observed processes. At the same time the method allows one to measure local pa rameters of shock loading in porous materials. The technique is illust rated by the application to constructing shock Hugoniots for materials with strongly different physical properties such as alumina wheat flo ur and their mixture.
