The shock compressibility, shock wave structure, and spall strength of a unidirectional carbon-carbon composite material (CCCM 1-D) have been determined for shock wave propagation at angles of 0^o, 45^o, and 90o relative to the fiber orientation. Free-surface velocity profiles and particle velocity profiles at the sample/water-window interface were recorded using a VISAR laser interferometer, with simultaneous measurement of shock wave velocities. A two-wave front structure was observed for shock wave propagation at 0^o and 45o. The dependences of the shock Hugoniot and spall strength on the shock loading direction have been established. A distinct kink in the Hugoniot curve at a shock pressure of approximately ~ 30 GPa provides evidence of a phase transition in carbon. It is shown that the composite does not undergo fracture within the elastic deformation regime, and its spall strength is governed by the dynamic elastic limit, exceeding 1 GPa. Under plastic deformation, the CCCM 1-D specimen loses its elastic properties, and the spall strength decreases by an order of magnitude irrespective of fiber orientation. Keywords: carbon-carbon composite, shock wave, Hugoniot equation of state, dynamic elastic limit, spall strength.
