Measurements of the Hugoniot elastic limit and the spall strength of the eutectic alloy Bi – 56.5 mass%, Pb – mass43.5% were carried out at sample temperatures in the range of 20 0C – 109 0C based on registration and analysis of the evolution of shock compression pulses of various amplitudes. It is shown that an increase in the temperature of the samples leads to a decrease in the Hugoniot elastic limit by 25%, and the spall strength of the alloy under study – by 30%, regardless of the strain rate. An increase in the strain rate by two orders of magnitude leads to an increase in the spall strength by about three times. Approximation power-law dependences of the decay of the elastic precursor on the thickness of the samples and the spall strength on the strain rate before fracture at normal and elevated temperatures are constructed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
