Abstract
The equation of state (EOS) of polyurea aerogel (PUA) is examined through both single shock Hugoniot data as well as more recent multi-shock compression experiments performed on the LANL 2-stage gas gun. A simple conservative Lagrangian numerical scheme, utilizing total variation diminishing (TVD) interpolation and an approximate Riemann solver, will be presented as well as the methodology of calibration. It will been demonstrated that a p-a model based on a Mie-Gruneisen fitting form for the solid material can reasonably replicate multi-shock compression response at a variety of initial densities; such a methodology will be presented for a commercially available polyurea aerogel.
