description Shock-induced plastic deformation and spall damage in the single-crystalline FCC Co<sub>25</sub>Ni<sub>25</sub>Fe<sub>25</sub>Al<sub>7.5</sub>Cu<sub>17.5</sub> high-entropy alloy (HEA) under varying shock intensities were systematically investigated using large-scale molecular dynamics simulations. The study reveals the significant influence of crystalline orientation on the deformation mechanism and spall damage. Specifically, the shock wave velocities in the [110] and [111] directions are significantly higher than that in the [001] direction, resulting in a two-zone elastic-plastic shock wave structure observed in the [110] and [111] samples, while only a single-wave structure is found in the [001] sample. The plastic deformation is dominated by the FCC to BCC transformation following the Bain path and a small amount of stacking faults during the compression stage in the [001] sample, whereas it depends on the stacking faults induced by Shockley dislocation motion in the [110] and [111] samples. The stacking faults and phase transformation in the [001] sample exhibit high reversibility under release effects, while extensive dislocations are present in the [110] and [111] samples after release. Interestingly, tension-strain-induced FCC to BCC phase transformation is observed in the [001] sample during the release stage, resulting in increased spall strength compared to the [110] and [111] samples. The spall strength estimated from both bulk and free surface velocity history shows reasonable consistency. Additionally, the spall strength remains stable with increasing shock intensities. The study discusses in detail the shock wave propagation, microstructure change, and spall damage evolution. Overall, our comprehensive studies provide deep insights into the deformation and fracture mechanisms of Co<sub>25</sub>Ni<sub>25</sub>Fe<sub>25</sub>Al<sub>7.5</sub>Cu<sub>17.5</sub> HEA under shock loading, contributing to a better understanding of dynamic deformation under extreme environments.
