| Abstract Scope |
Recent developments in advanced experimental diagnostics coupled with computational modeling have driven forward our understanding of complex materials under dynamic compression. At the same time, progress in materials manufacturing, such as additive manufacturing, have challenged prior assumptions and opened opportunities for future scientific exploration of engineered structures. Facilities such as the Dynamic Compression Sector at the Advanced Photon Source at Argonne National Laboratory provide experimenters with time-resolved snapshots of materials under shock loading through in-situ x-ray diffraction and phase contrast imaging. Execution of plate impact experiments take on the order of an hour while the entire measurement interval occurs on the microsecond timescale necessitating rigorous computational design of targeted experiments. We present our understandings on the dynamic compressive response of porous materials in relation to structure, material strength, localization, and thermal rise through the use of experiments guided by computational design. |
