The plastic response of beryllium was investigated during loading by laser-induced shock waves, using surface velocimetry and in-situ x-ray diffraction. Results from loading by thermal x-rays (hohlraum) were consistent with more extensive studies using laser ablation. Strong elastic waves were observed, up to ~1 km/s in free surface speed, with significant structure before the arrival of the plastic shock. The magnitude and shape of the precursor could be reproduced with a plasticity model based on dislocation dynamics. Changes in lattice spacing measured from the x-ray diffraction pattern gave a direct measurement of uniaxial compression in the elastic wave, triaxial flow from the decay of the precursor, and triaxial compression in the plastic shock; these were consistent with the velocity data. The dynamic strength behavior deduced from the laser experiments was used to help interpret surface velocity data around the onset of shock-induced melting. A model of heterogeneous mixtures is being extended to treat anisotropic components, and spall.
