Spall strength dependence on grain size and strain rate in tantalum (2018, unknown): “mapping (IPF) below shows randomly distributed voids in the vicinity of the spall plane; t relaxation [50]; the rarefaction wave begins returning into the sample at the beginning of the preceding plateau and, for short pulse durations, thewidth of the plateau approaches zero.”
Pulsed laser ablation of solids: transition from normal vaporization to phase explosion (2001, background): “For a low-temperature equilibrium plasma, the absorption coefficient can be written as α = nf (T ) ,w heref(T ) is an increasing function of the temperature [ 20 ].”
Atmospheric mass loss during planet formation: The importance of planetesimal impacts (2014, unknown): “impactor hits the surface of the protoplanet, its velocity is sharply decelerated and its kinetic energy is rapidly converted into heat and pressure resulting in something analogous to an explosion (Zel’dovich and Raizer, 1967).”
