Strength of Tantalum at High Pressures through Richtmyer-Meshkov Laser Compression Experiments and Simulations

<p>Strength at extreme pressures (>1 Mbar or 100 GPa) and high strain rates (106-108 s-1) of materials is not well characterized. The goal of the research outlined in this thesis is to study the strength of tantalum (Ta) at these conditions. The Omega Laser in the Laboratory for Laser Ene...
