Solids Under High-Pressure Shock Compression Mechanics, Physics, and Chemistry

Since the 1950s shock compression research contributed greatly to scientific knowledge and industrial technology. As a result, for example, our understanding of meteorite impacts has substantially improved, and shock processes have become standard industrial methods in materials synthesis and proces...
