Dynamic shear and spall strengths of preliminarily quasi-statically extruded fine-grained uranium and U-0.3% Mo alloy

The spall behavior of uranium is investigated using direct laser ablation loading experiments. The uranium targets are cut and ground to 0.05 mm, 0.1 mm, and 0.15 mm in thickness. Laser energies are varied to yield a constant peak pressure. This results in different strain rates and varying degrees of damage to the uranium targets. The spall strength is calculated and analyzed from the free surface velocity histories recorded using a line velocity interferometer for any reflections system. The spall strength increases from 4.3 GPa to 9.4 GPa with strain rates ranging from 4.0 × 10 6 s −1 to 1.7 × 10 7 s −1 . Post-mortem analysis is performed on the recovered samples, revealing the twin-matrix interfaces together with the inclusions to be the primary factor governing the spall fracture of uranium.
