Abstract

Molecular dynamics simulations are employed to examine the relation between ejecta production and shock-breakout pressure for single crystal Pb subjected to a decaying shockwave loading. To better understand the physical mechanism of ejecta formation, a surface with multiple triangular grooves representing the imperfections left from machining finish is taken into consideration. It is found that the ejecta volume density distribution displays a smooth nature and the amount of ejecta increases significantly after melting on release or shock. Additionally, the ejecta particle mass distribution is captured by a power law scaling, revealing the self-similarity. These results are in reasonable agreement with the characteristics of experimentally diagnosed findings.
