Relation of the ’’solid Hugoniot’’ to the ’’fluid Hugoniot’’ for aluminum and coppera)

Strength effects confuse equation-of-state data obtained by shock waves. In order to take these effects properly into account in the high-pressure regime, reduction from uniaxial-strain experimental shock loci to a mean-stress curve and from the mean-stress curve to the ’’fluid Hugoniot’’ curve are derived. Applications to aluminum and copper are given.
