Abstract
Streak records of the observation, with a nanosecond and micrometer scale resolution, of the light emitted during the Shock
Wave [SW] propagation in epoxy Syntactic Foams [SF], are presented as a function of the HGMS sizes (d
50 = 42, 92 and 135
m), the initial density (0.64, 0.81 and 0.92 g/cm
3) and the loading intensity (20.0 and 9.6 GPa). The obtained streak records allowed the determination of the SW velocity,
the spatial profile of the intensity of the transmitted SW and the period of light oscillations. The SW velocity was found
to change with the density and with the size of the HGMS. The intensity of the transmitted wave, for the samples prepared
with medium and large HGMS sizes, shows to be above the values for the samples prepared with small size HGMS. For the samples
with the smallest density the values of the period of light oscillation are very close to the time for the propagation between
two consecutive layers of HGMS. The experimental facts point to a pulsed propagation process where the mechanism of asymmetric
collapse and jet formation is dominant.
