Download or read book Mechanical and Optical Response of Diamond Crystals Shock Compressed Along Different Orientations written by John Michael Lang (Jr.) and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Longitudinal stress-density states for elastic compression along different orientations were determined from the measured particle velocity histories and elastic shock wave velocities. The complete set of third-order elastic constants was determined from the stress-density states and published acoustic data. Several of these constants differed significantly from those calculated using theoretical models.
