Abstract
The dynamic response of granular materials to an applied shockwave is of wide ranging importance. While the shock Hugoniot has been studied, the shock-release of granular systems has never been experimentally characterised. Here, we present a simple approach to such measurements and present a series of plate impact experiments providing release data for a well characterised dry sand. We discuss the origin of the release behaviour, which we support with further measurements on a weakly bound sandstone.
