Explosive Magnetic Device with a Three-Layered Liner for Radiographic Study of Dynamic Strength of Materials

This paper presents the construction-technology schematic of the device comprising the helical and disk EMGs with a three-layered cylindrical liner (Al-dielectric-Cu) designed for experiments RHSR-0,1,2 at the current of 33-35 MA. Polyethylene or water was used as a dielectric layer. The experiments tested successfully the idea to study the dynamic strength of materials by X-raying the growth of amplitude of axisymmetric sinusoidal perturbations machined initially on the outer surface of the examined inner layer of the liner.
