“Data for this entry were determined on some or all of the following
shots: “8A-347, -348, -349, -384, -387, -411, and -412; each was fired
fired using multiple plate thicknesses.
bMean and standard deviation of seven determinations each on the
second and sixth entry, six each on the third and fifth, five each on
the first and seventh, four on the last, and two on the fourth.
Linear least squares fitting gives Ur, = 3.725 km/s - 0.01449 t (mm). At t = 0,
plate U, = 7.831 km/s and P, = 40.21 GPa. Acoustic approximation with D = 8.287
km/s, pox = 1.809 g/cm’, and porn = 2.790 g/cm3 gives corresponding explosive
parameters Iof P, = 33.71 GPa, U,, = 2.248 km/s, and y = 2.686.
