Abstract
Theoretical methods for calculating equations of state are discussed and applied to aluminum. The model includes a treatment of melting, vaporization, and thermal electronic excitation. The thermal electronic terms are shown to cause a plasma phase transition in the hot expanded fluid, affecting the unloading behavior from shocked states. The calculations give good agreement with experimental Hugoniot data, the melting curve, and isobaric expansion measurements.
