Influence of sweeping detonation-wave loading on shock hardening and damage evolution during spallation loading in tantalum

Widespread research over the past five decades has provided a wealth of experimental data and insight concerning the shock hardening, damage evolution, and the spallation response of materials subjected to square-topped shock-wave loading profiles. However, fewer quantitative studies have been condu...
