Abstract
This work presents an analysis of the existing self-contained expressions for the volume dependence of the Grüneisen ratio γ in view of their further application to equation of state (EOS) studies. These expressions are assessed and applied to materials with the major types of chemical bonds. Predictions from regression analysis are compared to existing experimental data sets. All expressions predict with very good accuracy the values of γ at ambient conditions, its volume variation in the low pressure region, but fail to give correct values for its infinite compression limit. A possible reason for this is that all experiments are performed at comparatively low pressures. The interpolation formula by Al'tshuler et al. [J. Appl. Mech. Tech. Phys. 28, 129 (1987)] and the equation, proposed by Jeanloz [J. Geophys. Res. B 94, 5873 (1989)] are the best fit to experimental data. A modification to Jeanloz's equation, more convenient for use in shock physics, is proposed in the present work. It could be used jointly with the shock Hugoniot to derive a complete EOS for solids from their response to shock-wave loading.
