Experimental Shock Physics /Energetic & Explosive Materials
ORAU, Aberdeen, Maryland, United States, 21001
Overview
Join to apply for the
Experimental Shock Physics /Energetic & Explosive Materials
role at
ORAU .
About the Research Located at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland, the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) is the Army’s central laboratory. Its diverse assortment of unique facilities and dedicated workforce of government and private sector partners make up the largest source of world-class integrated research and analysis in the Army.
Organization DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory
Description Extensive experimental studies are needed to develop an understanding of the dynamic response of materials to extreme pressure/temperature conditions for use in model validation. Typical efforts focus on elucidating the relationship between the structure and properties of the materials under extreme conditions as it applies to detonation phenomena. Exceptional post-doctoral candidates are sought in the area of experimental shock physics; relevant diagnostic techniques include high-resolution spectroscopy (e.g., time-resolved emission spectra or ultrafast pump-probe techniques), high-speed imaging, and optical pyrometry. The opportunity will entail doing research as part of a large multi-disciplinary program with close integration of experimental and theoretical teams. The research activities involve the development of experimental techniques for investigating material dynamics under extreme conditions, e.g., laser-launched flyer plate experiments for the initiation of energetic materials, laser-induced shock initiation, and measurements of equations of state for new materials using both static and dynamic experiments. This research aligns with the ARL S&T Campaign in the area of Sciences for Lethality and Protection/Ballistics and Blast: Weapons and Energy Projection.
