SUMMARY:Direct measurements of dynamic granular compaction at the mesoscal
 e using synchrotron X-ray radiography - Michael Rutherford\, Institute of 
 Shock Physics\, Imperial College\, London

DESCRIPTION:A grand challenge in the field of dynamic compression is to un
 derstand how mesoscale (nanosecond-microsecond\, micrometre-millimetre) de
 formation processes govern macroscopic material behaviour and performance.
  In this seminar I will discuss the development and application of a novel
  synchrotron X-ray radiography technique\, which is able to make in situ m
 easurements of shock-compression at the mesoscale. Focus will be given to 
 direct measurements of granular compaction in several systems relevant to 
 chondritic asteroid formation\, including the observation of normally dist
 ributed shock velocities\, measurements of shock front thickness\, and cal
 culations of spatially-resolved mass density fields. \n\n[1]: M.E. Rutherf
