Download or read book Shock Compression of Condensed Matter--1989 written by American Physical Society and published by North Holland. This book was released on 1990 with total page 1050 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
