Graham R.A. Solids Under High-Pressure Shock Compression: Mechanics, Physics, and Chemistry

Springer-Verlag New York, 1993, 221 pages, ISBN 0-387-97885-2.Shock processes have become standard industrial methods in materials synthesis and processing. Shock-compression data have become the standard for the static high pressure scale. Elastic, viscoelastic, and viscoplastic deformation of solids at the highest of strain rates has been substantially defined. Large deformation elastic, piezoelectric, and dielectric properties have been studied. Chemical synthesis has been routinely carried out at unusually high pressures. Physical properties of solids have been studied at unusually high defect concentrations.This book will take the reader from the simplest condition of shock- compressed matter—the large elastic strain—through the complications introduced by rapid plastic deformation, to perhaps the most complex conditions—chemically reacting solids. Even in the simplest case, unexpected complexities are observed. The full complexity of shock-induced solid state chemistry is yet to be determined.Shock-Compression Science
