Research of igdantine destruction under high-current beam of electrons with energy more than 1 MeV

Abstract

Research of the composite materials destruction under extreme pulsed loads is an important task, both for different materials science applications and development of a fundamental understanding of the formation and propagation of shock waves in materials with a complex internal structure. In this paper, we present an experimental study of the interaction of a high-current electron beam with a low-modulus polymer material characterized by high elasticity. It has been demonstrated that this effect also causes multiple cracks in the peripheral regions of the sample (∼10 mm in length).
