Abstract
New equation of state data for a weathered granite shocked to about 125 GPa are reported and combined with the Westerly granite data of McQueen, Marsh & Fritz (1967). The shock velocity (U_s)-particle velocity (U_p) relations can be fitted with two linear regressions: U_s= 4.40 + 0.6U_p for a range of U_p up to about 2 km s^(-1) and U_s= 2.66 + 1.49U_p for a range of about 2 to 5 km s^(-1). The third-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state parameters are K_(os) = 51-57 GPa and K'_(os) = 1.4-1.8 for the low-pressure regime and K_(os) = 251 ± 30 GPa and an assumed K'_(os) = 4 for the high-pressure regime. Compressive waveforms in dry and water-saturated granite were measured at 10-15 GPa using the VISAR technique. The measured wave profiles were successfully modelled using a Maxwellian stress-relaxation material model. Water-saturated granite is characterized by a ~25 per cent lower yield strength and a ~75 per cent longer material relaxation time than dry granite.
