My Journey with Shock Waves

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the shock compression of condensed matter (SCCM), this book offers a detailed exploration of foundational concepts, thermodynamics, and plasticity related to shock phenomena. It examines shock-induced phase transitions and compaction, alongside the synthesis of materials like Ni aluminides and SiC. Advanced methodologies, including the method of characteristics and discrete element methods, are discussed, providing insights into the shock compression process at the grain scale and modeling transitions in high explosives.
