Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Isentropic compression experiments (ICE) were performed on a variety of high explosives. The samples were dynamically loaded by Sandia's Z-accelerator with a ramp compression wave of 300 ns rise time and peak stress of 100-350 kbar. Sample/window interface velocities were recorded with VISAR. Experiments were performed on LX04 to obtain the stress-strain relation using a backward integration technique. Experiments were similarly performed on LX17 and the results compared to hydrodynamics calculations that used a reactive flow equation of state. Recent experiments were also conducted on single crystal HMX with the aim of detecting the phase transition believed to occur at 270 kbar.
