Abstract

A theoretical model for equation of state (EOS) of aluminum with helium bubbles is presented. Based on this EOS, the influence of helium bubbles on shock loading is examined. The Hugoniot curve (temperature versus pressure as well as shock velocity versus particle velocity) for aluminum containing bubbles is calculated for various bubbles mass, bubbles percentage, and helium EOS models. The bubble mass and concentration seem to affect the measurably Hugoniot curve. The EOS model, implied for the helium in the bubbles, has minor significance, which means our model is not sensitive to the details of the helium EOS. Our findings are consistent with experiments available in the literature.
