4. Modelling "rigid" shocks
4.1 Wave propagation in materials
When two solids collide, a compression wave is generated on either side of the impact zone. In the case of uniaxial propagation, the celerity of the elastic wave in a material is expressed according to the following relationship:
with :
- E :
-
(Pa) Young's modulus of the material,
- ρ :
- ...
