Laser-Induced Spallation and Dynamic Fracture at Ultra High Strain Rate

  • Chapter
High-Pressure Shock Compression of Solids II

Part of the book series: High-Pressure Shock Compression of Condensed Matter ((SHOCKWAVE))

Abstract

Pulsed high irradiance laser induced shock waves are being used for assessing the dynamic fracture behavior of materials at extreme conditions. Theories [1, 2] have long predicted that very strong shock waves in the kbar-Mbar regime could be produced in small samples with pulsed lasers. Recent experiments have shown that this idea is not only a theoretical possibility, but also a practical way to obtain pressures and strain rates previously unachievable in a laboratory environment.
