Abstract

We discuss a method for constructing the complete equation of state of a condensed medium thermodynamically, this method being based on the utilization of experimental data on shock compression and on the second law of thermodynamics. Determination of the accuracy of the solution so obtained, so far as its dependence on experimental error connected with the dynamical experiments and initial conditions was concerned, was carried out by means of statistical tests (Monte Carlo). The method is free from restricting assumptions as to the properties and nature of the medium under investigation. In the present paper, equations of state for W, Cu, and LiF are constructed. The results obtained are compared with experimental results and with equations of state based on models.
