Abstract
A series of experiments was carried out to investigate the relaxation properties of glycerol under shock-wave loading. The strain rates at the compression wave front were in the range of 105-107 s-1. A modified version of the wire explosion set-up was used. Free surface velocity profiles were recorded by VISAR with fiber-optic sensor. We found that the glycerol exhibits the non-Newtonian liquid behavior: viscosity is higher at the high strain rate. Strain rate at the compressive wave front is found to be dependent on the wave amplitude in power of 1.3.
