Shock compression and isentropic release of granite

چکیده
S U M M A R Y New equation of state data for a weathered granite shocked to about 125 GPa are reported and combined with the Westerly granite data of McQueen, Marsh & Fritz (1967). The shock velocity (Us)-particle velocity (Up) relations can be fitted with two linear regressions: Us = 4.40 + 0.6Up for a range of Up up to about 2 km s-' and Us = 2.66 + 1.49Up for a range of about 2 to 5 km s-'. The third-order BirchMurnaghan equation of state parameters are KO, = 51-57 GPa and KAs = 1.4-1.8 for the low-pressure regime and KO, = 251 f 30 GPa and an assumed Kb, = 4 for the high-pressure regime. Compressive waveforms in dry and water-saturated granite were measured at 10-15GPa using the VISAR technique. The measured wave profiles were successfully modelled using a Maxwellian stress-relaxation material model. Water-saturated granite is characterized by a -25 per cent lower yield strength and a -75 per cent longer material relaxation time than dry granite. From measurements of partially released states in granite, it is proposed that the high-pressure forms of tectosilicates, including granite, relax isentropically to a metastable, intermediate phase characterized by a dense (about 3.7 g ~ m ~ ) , highly disordered, six-fold coordinated phase which is subsequently quenched to diaplectic glasses of density -2.3 g ~ m ~ , starting at pressure of -10 GPa. We develop an analytical model to describe the release isentropes in the mixed-phase regime which prescribe release to a glass phase with increasing transformation to the high-pressure phase. Hugoniot and post-shock energies and temperatures derived from the release isentropes are consistent with available data and theoretical expectations for quartz and granite.

Constant entropy sampling and release waves of shock compressions.
We present or recall several equilibrium methods that allow one to compute isentropic processes, either during the compression or the release of the material. These methods are applied to compute the isentropic release of a shocked monoatomic liquid at high pressure and temperature. Moreover, equilibrium results of isentropic release are compared to the direct nonequilibrium simulation of the s...

We have derived the set of reference scaling parameters yielding collapse of isentropic acoustic and thermoacoustic (or heat-release-induced) waves across different pure compressible fluids with an assigned equation of state. The resulting reference pressure and velocity are consistent with classic acoustic scaling. The reference temperature and heat release rate need to be expressed in terms o...

During hot seasons the inlet temperature of Nitrogen increases, as a result compressor consumes more power for compressing a specific mass ratio of fluid and consequently total energy consumption of the compressor increases as well. In this research, a three stage centrifugal compressor with intercooler was modeled thermodynamically in order to decreases the energy consumption of the compressor...

A general formulation was developed to represent material models for applications in dynamic loading. Numerical methods were devised to calculate response to shock and ramp compression, and ramp decompression, generalizing previous solutions for scalar equations of state. The numerical methods were found to be flexible and robust, and matched analytic results to a high accuracy. The basic ramp ...
