Simulations of shock waves in solids

Abstract
Shock wave simulations have been carried out to 800 planes for BCC iron using a Morse potential. Analysis showed that the Hugoniot conservation relations are obeyed even for non-constant shock profiles if appropriate averages over the complete shock region are used. Various definitions of temperature for the shocked region were examined. The anomalies reported by Tsai and MacDonald (1973) were not observed.
