Abstract
Experiments are described in which an explosive-driven plate sets up a strong shock in air in contact with the plate. Plate velocity and air shock velocity are measured by means of a high-speed framing camera. A pressure-compression relation results from these measurements through use of the conservation equations of hydrodynamics. The experimental results up to pressures of 200 bars are compared to a calculated relation.Keywords
