Indigenously designed and fabricated free piston driven shock tube (FPST) was used to generate strong shock heated test gases for the study of aero-thermodynamic reactions on ceramic materials. The reflected shock wave at the end of the shock tube generates high pressure and temperature test gas (Argon, Ar) for short duration. Interaction of materials with shock heated Ar gas leads to formation of a new solid or stabilization of a material in new crystallographic phase. In this shock tube, the generated shock waves was utilized to heat Ar to a very high temperature (11760 K) at about 40-55 bar for 2-4 ms. We confirmed the phase transformation and electronic structure of the material after exposure to shock by XRD and XPS studies. This high enthalpy gas generated in the shock-tube was utilized to synthesize cubic perovskite CeCrO3from fluorite Ce0.5Cr0.5O2+δoxide. We were able to demonstrate that this ceramic materials undergoes phase transformations with the interaction of high enthalpy gas under shock dynamic loading.

The aim of this work is to provide a comparative experimental study on the performance of the conventional shock tube and a free-piston compressor. Experimental measurements of shock strength, peak pressure and surface temperature change of air-air as a driver/driven gas are then presented and compared with another set of experimental measurements using gas combination of He-air. The results provide very good estimates for the above mentioned parameters obtained after diaphragm rupture and also provide significant information on the role of the free piston in the facility operation conditions over the full length of the facility.
