Abstract
Spall strength and shock front structure of commercial fiberglass were studied at pressures between 0.3-0.8 GPa, using Doppler velocity inte rferometer technique (VISAR). Substantial changes in the spall strengt h and shock front rise time were observed. These changes allow us to p ropose that fiberglass performs three modes of the deformation at the different levels of compression curve similar to porous materials and some dispersed composites.
