Hugoniot Measurement on a Gel-binder system.

POSTER

Abstract

Gel systems are finding increasing use in composites where a degree of compliance with limited residual stress is required. In this poster the results of a series of plate impact experiments are presented. The material has been characterised to obtain the principal Hugoniot, this is compared to the points obtained from a ring-up experiment, the effects of the shock heating are seen.
