Abstract
The relations between the thermodynamic Gruneisen parameter, γ, the parameter defined by the Mie-Gruneisen equation of state of solids, γ e, and the average quantity γ involved in the energy-pressure equation which is used in the so-called reduction of shock-wave data are examined. General expressions connecting these quantities are reported, and the approximations of γ made in the reduction of shock-wave data are considered. The results of a very recent treatment of the shock-wave data for zirconium are considered. This treatment does not involve approximations of γ. The validity of the usual approximation γ/ V = constant is examined in the light of these results.
