Abstract

We have studied spallation in single crystal of metals under shock at very high strain rate. Our work has been devoted to understanding, and predicting the dynamic ductile damage processes of nucleation, growth and coalescence of voids in these extreme conditions of impact. Recovered sample only indicates final state of damage. Molecular Dynamics calculations are predicting the phenomenon over time. However we need experimental results to validate and improve simulations and models. X-ray tomography analyses are appropriate to extract pore volume distributions. Our study on ductile materials allowed us to conclude that experimental analyses exhibit two power laws attributed to growth and coalescence regimes. Moreover power law is scale invariance so it is possible to compare experiment (macroscopic) to calculation (microscopic). We show that there are good correlations between experimental and Molecular Dynamics pore volume distribution. Thanks X-ray microtomographies findings we progress in understanding the phenomenon of dynamic damage.
