This study examines wave attenuation and power flow characteristics of sandwich beams with internal absorbers. Two types of absorbing systems embedded in the core are considered, namely, a conventional spring-mass-dashpot system having a mass with a spring and a dashpot in parallel, and a relaxation system containing an additional relaxation spring added in series with the dashpot. Analytical continuum models used for interpreting the attenuation behavior of sandwich structures are presented. Through the analysis of the power flowing into the structure, the correlation of wave attenuation and energy blockage is revealed. The reduction in the power flow indicates that some amount of energy produced by the external force can be effectively obstructed by internal absorbers. The effects of parameters on peak attenuation, bandwidth, and power flow are also studied.

Uniaxial compression tests and hydrostatic tests at pressures up to 27 kbars have been performed to determine operating slip systems in single crystal and polycrystal1ine beryllium. A recent study has been made of wave propagation in single crystal beryllium by shock loading to selectively activate various slip systems, and this has been followed by a study of wave propagation and spallation in textured, polycrystal1ine beryllium. An alteration in the X-ray diffraction pattern has been noted after shock loading, but this alteration has not yet been correlated with any structural change occurring during shock loading of polycrystal1ine beryllium.This study is being conducted in an effort to characterize the effects of shock loading on textured, polycrystal1ine beryllium. Samples were fabricated from a billet of Kawecki-Berylco hot pressed HP-10 beryllium.
