Abstract

An analytic relation between the Hugoniot states and other thermodynamic states under high pressures for carbon fiber composites is proposed. Several relations for the nonlinear anisotropic medium and a generalized decomposition of the stress tensor are used to study the double structure, which consists of a nonlinear anisotropic and an isotropically elastic part, of the shock wave in various directions in carbon fiber composites. Numerical computations of the Hugoniot stress levels agree well with experimental data obtained for the chosen carbon fiber epoxy composite.
