Abstract
Unloading wave experiments were used to determine the material strength and release adiabats in pure and 6061-T6 aluminum alloy over the stress range of 50–100 GPa. The experimental adiabats are in good agreement with theoretical calculations, assuming a constant ργ. The strength measurements show that a maximum occurs for shock states above 20 GPa and that a general softening of the strength is evident between 40 and 100 GPa.
