Abstract
Shock-wave response of cadmium sulfide powder has been examined by conducting impact experiments on cadmium sulfide/elastomer composites. Particle-velocity profiles at different sample depths were measured in experiments ranging from 7 to 45 kbar. Although no two-wave structure was observed in the wave profiles, the peak pressure-volume states and the wave-velocity results indicate a shock-induced phase transformation in the cadmium sulfide. Calculations based on a simple mixture model constructed from the hydrostatic data on cadmium sulfide and shock data on the elastomer are in good agreement with the experimental results. Reasons for the good agreement between the shock data and the hydrostatic results are attributed to the nearly hydrodynamic compression of the cadmium sulfide particles because of the elastomer matrix.
