Description

This book presents the most up-to-date collection of research activities in the area of high-pressure shock compression. Current reviews and original research papers are given on theoretical and experimental aspects of high-pressure equations of state, on dynamic plastic response and strength of solids, on numerical simulation and modeling of material response, on fast optical techniques and other advances in experimental technique, on laser-driven shocks, on material modification and shock-induced defects, on geologic and geophysical materials, on dynamic compaction and on modeling and behavior of initiation in energetic materials. Six plenary, 13 invited and 203 research papers are presented.
