Strong elastic precursor decay upon changing the thickness of the samples from 0.15 to 4 mm is revealed. At maximum shock compressive stresses twice exceeding the Hugoniot elastic limit, a decrease in the spall strength value by about 30% from its value in the elastic region is recorded UR - http://vital.lib.tsu.ru/vital/access/manager/Repository/vtls:000660414 ER -
