Formation mechanism of multiple spallation and its penetration induced by shear localization in NiTi alloy under implosion loading by Xianye Wu, Xiaoyang Pei, Xiang Chen, Hao Zhang, Jin Wang, Xin Yang, Meizhen Xiang, Shang Gao, Fang Wang

“…Overall, the high temperature caused by shear localization leads to material weakening, and in turn there is a significant decrease in the spall strength for the secondary spallation, compared with the first. Finally, significant penetration between two spall planes is observed for large grain size, which can be attributed to the nucleation of voids on linking grain boundaries, with temperatures exceeding the melting point of the material.…”
