An Adaptive Physics-Based Method for the Solution of One-Dimensional Wave Motion Problems

In this paper, an adaptive physics-based method is developed for solving wave motion problems in one dimension (i.e., wave propagation in strings, rods and beams). The solution of the problem includes two main parts. In the first part, after discretization of the domain, a physics-based method is developed considering the conservation of mass and the balance of momentum. In the second part, ada...

Pvdf Shock Compression Sensors in Shock Waves Physics

Early works have shown that highly reproducible piezoelectric film PVDF (Poly(vinylidene fluoride)) can be reliably used in a wide range of precise stress and stress-rate measurements. The direct stress-derivative or stress-rate PVDF signals have nanosecond resolution and higher operating stress limits than any other technique. Uses of PVDF stress gauges have been conducted in many fields of sh...

The Physics of Shock Waves and Experimental Shock Metamorphism: Dieter

Introduction: The cooperation between Dieter Stöffler and Ernst-Mach-Institut (EMI) [1-14] goes back to 1972 when first experiments were performed to shock single crystal feldspars by steel plates that were accelerated with an explosive plane wave generator [1,7]. The shock experiments initiated a series of studies that required versatile and reliable test methods for the generation of Hugoniot...
