Abstract

Shock compaction response of ∼50% porous aluminum powder, encapsulated in PMMA cylinders and impacted at 0.3–1.7 km/s using 6061-T6 Al impactors, was examined in situ and in real time using a propagation-based X-ray phase contract imaging (PCI) technique capable of providing micron spatial resolution at the Advanced Photon Source. Numerical simulations of the PCI data accurately captured the propagating compaction shock wave in the powder and the deformation of the powder column.
