Description for Shock Wave Compression of Condensed Matter
Hardcover. This book introduces the the shockwave physics of condensed matter, focusing on one-dimensional uniaxial compression to show key features of the response of condensed matter to shockwave loading. Discusses a select group of current issues in shockwave physics. Series: Shock Wave and High Pressure Phenomena. Num Pages: 374 pages, 200 black & white illustrations, 11 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PHDS; PHFC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 244 x 162 x 27. Weight in Grams: 714.
This book introduces the core concepts of the shock wave physics of condensed matter, taking a continuum mechanics approach to examine liquids and isotropic solids. The text primarily focuses on one-dimensional uniaxial compression in order to show the key features of condensed matter’s response to shock wave loading. The first four chapters are specifically designed to quickly familiarize physical scientists and engineers with how shock waves interact with other shock waves or material boundaries, as well as to allow readers to better understand shock wave literature, use basic data analysis techniques, and design simple 1-D shock wave experiments. This is ... Read more

Reviews for Shock Wave Compression of Condensed Matter
This is a terrific new book on shock compression science from one of the top researchers in the field. I have worked with shock waves for a number of years, but I was not formally trained in the area. What makes this book special is the emphasis on explaining the fundamentals in an extremely clear and logical fashion. […] This ... Read more
