Investigation of shock-wave characteristics of porous multi-component materials under explosive loading by undisturbing electromagnetic method

This paper deals with developing a remote electromagnetic technique for studying shock-wave behavior of porous multi-component materials. The main peculiarity of the method proposed is that both pulse magnetic field source and inductive gauge are placed outside the tested sample. That is why this procedure does introduce no disturbances to observed processes. At the same time the method allows one to measure local parameters of shock loading in porous materials. The technique is illustrated by the application to constructing shock Hugoniots for materials with strongly different physical properties such as alumina wheat flour and their mixture.
