Understanding the physical and thermomechanical response of materials subjected to intensive dynamic loading is a challenge of great significance in engineering today. This volume assumes the task of gathering both experimental and diagnostic methods in one place, since not much information has been previously disseminated in the scientific literature.
Basic Principles of Continuum Mechanics
Methods and Devices for Producing Intense Shock Loads
Recording Fast Processes in Dynamic Studies
Determination of Hugoniots and Expansion Isentropes
Studies of Phase Transformations
Dynamic Strength of Materials
Estimation of Temperaturesin Shock-compressed Transparent Material
Determination of Detonation Parameters and Efficiency of Solid HE Explosion Products
Laser Doppler Measuring Systems and Their Use in Shock-Wave Studies
