Abstract
A series of plate impact experiments with soda-lime glass specimens was performed in order to further investigate the complex behavior of this material in the 0–8 GPa range of shock loading. Using commercial manganin gauges we followed the stress histories and their different shapes as the stresses increase from 3.5 to about 8.0 GPa. In particular, we find that there are meaningful differences between the shapes of these signals at pressures below about 4.0 GPa, in between 4.0 and 6.0 GPa and above 6.0 GPa. We also gather more data on the fractured glass behind the fracture wave front, from our measured stress histories, and offer a new way to determine the Hugoniot elastic limit of this material, as well as other brittle solids.
