... These computer programs all required knowledge of nonlinear constitutive behavior of materials at the extreme stresses and strain rates induced by shock-wave loading. Building on lundergan's program of projectile plate impacts, along with data from other sandia organizations and other laboratories, the experimental data for developing constitutive models of many types of materials -- metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, foams, for example -- were obtained.
