Numerical Analysis of Explosively Generated Shocks in a Ti/Al Powder Mixture

L. S. Bennett, Katsumi Tanaka, and M. Katayama
[Kayaku Gakkaishi, Vol. 58, pp. 9-15, 1997]

Three constitutive models have been applied to numerically model explosively generated shock waves in a 304 stainless steel recovery capsule containing a Ti-Al powder mixture. The formation of weak Mach reflections in the powder mixture due to the difference in explosive detonation velocity and shock wave velocity in the powder are observed.
