KO Shock Hugoniot Example

This video uses a one-dimensional Lagrangian Hydrocode called KO, which was formulated by Mark Wilkins and described in the appendix of his book "Computer Simulation of Dynamic Phenomena". The example described here can be found on page 54 in Figure 3.8. The example problem involves a 0.3 cm thick aluminum flyer impacting a 1.2 cm aluminum target at 700 m/s. The result is a transmitted pressure wave that contains an Hugoniot elastic limit precursor (6.4 Mbar), plastic deformation (55 Mbar) and an unloading profile. I used Mark Wilkins book to write a Fortran code of KO, which you can download from my website: https://www.eng.mu.edu/shockphysics For more information about this video you may visit: https://www.eng.mu.edu/shockphysics/KO/
