Abstract
The dynamic response of alumina under shock compression was studied using planar impact experiments with different tile thicknesses. Stress-time measurements were made with manganin gauges backed by different backing materials in order to optimize gauge response. The results show an apparent decay in the Hugoniot elastic limit with propagation distance. However, further analysis reveals that this phenomenon is probably a measurement artifact, resulting from the relatively slow response times of manganin gauges.
